Last updated: June 8, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and safeguard your information when you access or use the Tirdad platform, website (tirdad.ai and related domains), APIs, and all related services (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy is prepared in accordance with the Saudi Arabia Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) issued by Royal Decree M/19, and other applicable data protection laws. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please discontinue use of the Services immediately.

1. Definitions

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy:

  • "Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, as defined under the Saudi Arabia Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL).
  • "Customer Data" means any data, content, or materials submitted by or on behalf of the Customer to the Services, including billing records, subscription configurations, and usage metrics.
  • "Processing" means any operation performed on Personal Data, including collection, recording, storage, modification, retrieval, use, disclosure, or deletion.
  • "Data Controller" means the entity that determines the purposes and means of Processing Personal Data.
  • "Data Processor" means the entity that Processes Personal Data on behalf of the Data Controller.
  • "Sub-Processor" means any third party engaged by Tirdad to Process Personal Data on behalf of the Customer.
  • "Sensitive Personal Data" means Personal Data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, biometric data, or criminal records, as defined under the PDPL.

2. Scope and Relationship to Customer Agreements

This Privacy Policy does NOT govern Customer Data processed within the Tirdad product environment pursuant to a Master Services Agreement (MSA) or similar agreement.

Tirdad's Services are designed to operate without requiring customers to provide end-user personal data to us. However, customers may choose to submit personal data in event payloads or other free-form fields. In such cases, Tirdad processes that data solely as a processor on the customer's behalf, and customers remain responsible for ensuring that any data they submit complies with applicable data protection laws. Customer Data (including any personal data customers choose to input into the Services) is processed on behalf of the customer in accordance with the applicable MSA, not under this Privacy Policy.

Role of the Parties: When processing Customer Data on behalf of a customer within the Tirdad product environment, Tirdad acts as a Data Processor, and the customer acts as the Data Controller. Such processing is governed by the applicable Master Services Agreement and, where required by law, a separate Data Processing Addendum (DPA).

Sub-Processors: Tirdad may use third-party sub-processors (e.g., cloud hosting providers, analytics services, email delivery services, and optional integrations such as payment gateways or monitoring tools) to assist in providing the Services. A current list of sub-processors is available upon written request. Tirdad will not add or change sub-processors that have access to Customer Data without providing the Customer with at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice, except where required by law or in an emergency. The Customer may object to any new or changed sub-processor for reasonable data protection concerns, in which case the Parties will work in good faith to find a commercially reasonable alternative.

This Privacy Policy applies to: information we collect when you visit our website or interact with our marketing materials; business contact information of customer representatives, prospects, partners, and vendors; and support and account management communications.
