How OPDEV UAE collects and uses your information. Last updated: October 2026.

1. Who we are

OPDEV (Organisational, Personal and Professional Development) is a training and consultancy firm serving employers in the UAE and across the GCC. OPDEV UAE is part of OPDEV Global. In this policy, "OPDEV", "we" and "us" mean OPDEV UAE. This policy explains what personal information we collect through opdev.ae, how we use it and the choices you have.

2. What information we collect

We collect information you give us when you:

  • send an enquiry or apply for a grant, scholarship or bursary
  • book a call through Calendly
  • subscribe to our newsletter
  • apply for a job or partnership

This may include your name, organisation, job title, email, phone number, city and anything you write in a message. We also collect basic technical data, such as browser type, pages visited and approximate location, through cookies and analytics.

3. How we use your information

We use your information to:

  • reply to your enquiry and provide our services
  • review grant, scholarship and bursary applications
  • send newsletters and updates, if you subscribed
  • improve our website and services
  • meet legal and accounting requirements

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Cookies

Our website uses cookies to work properly and to understand how visitors use it. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work as well without them.

5. Who we share it with

We share information only when needed to run our services, for example with:

  • Calendly, for booking calls
  • our email and website hosting providers
  • associate facilitators working on your programme
  • authorities, where the law requires it

Some of these providers may store data in other countries. When data moves between countries, we use providers and safeguards that protect it to the standard your local law requires.

6. How long we keep it

We keep enquiry and application details for up to two years, and client records for as long as needed for contracts and accounting. Newsletter details are kept until you unsubscribe.

7. Your rights

You can ask us to:

  • tell you what information we hold about you
  • correct or delete your information
  • stop sending you marketing emails

Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link. You may have further rights, and what applies depends on where you live. In the UK and EU, the UK GDPR and EU GDPR apply. In the UAE, the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) applies, and in Singapore, the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). In the United States, some states, such as California, give you extra rights over your data. In Pakistan and other countries, we follow the local law and the same standards set out in this policy.

8. Contact us

For questions about this policy or your information, email ask@opdev.ae. We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows the latest version.
