OUR COMMITMENT
CDA is committed to respecting your privacy and protecting your personal
information. We recognize our obligation to keep sensitive information secure
and have created this privacy and security statement to share and explain the
current information management practices on our websites.
The handling of all personal information by CDA departments and entities is
governed by the UAE and Dubai privacy and security acts. We are committed to
protecting your privacy whether you are browsing for information or conducting
business with the government electronically.
COLLECTION OF IP ADDRESS
Our web server automatically collects your IP address when you visit our site
(your IP address is your computer's unique address that lets other computers
attached to the Internet know where to send data, but does not identify you
individually). We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server
and to compile statistics on site usage.
USE OF COOKIES
Some Dubai Government Web sites use cookies. Cookies are generally used to make
it more convenient for users to move around our Web sites. If you choose, they
may be used to 'remember' your password and make it easier and faster to log-in
to certain sites. These types of cookies need to be stored on your computer's
hard drive. Cookies used by the government are encrypted to make the information
in cookies unreadable to anyone except the government department with which you
are dealing.
PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Your personal information is available only to CDA employees who have a need to
know it. It will not be available for public inspection without your consent.
Also, no site user information will be shared, sold, or transferred to any third
party without your prior consent. Access is given only to those qualified
professionals who provide Dubai Government services consistent with your
interactions with our site.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Some of our Web sites link to other sites created and maintained by other public
and/or private sector organizations. We provide these links solely for your
information and convenience. When you link to an outside Web site, you are
leaving a Dubai Government Web site and our information management policies no
longer apply.
