This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you visit our website, join our mailing list, or download our free resources.

2. The Information We Collect

We only collect the information we genuinely need to provide our services and keep in touch with you.

  • Name (if you choose to provide it)

  • Email address (for sending your free guide, updates, or responses to your enquiries)

  • Any other details you choose to share when contacting us or booking a consultation

We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as health or financial information) unless it is directly relevant to a service you’ve requested.

3. How We Collect Your Information

We collect information in the following ways:

  • Respond to your messages or consultation bookings

  • Share helpful relocation updates, news, or relevant service information (only if you’ve consented)

  • Improve our website and user experience

We never sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

5. How We Store Your Information

Your data is stored securely via Squarespace (our website platform) and/or our email marketing provider (e.g. Squarespace Email Campaigns, or Mailchimp if connected).

These services use encryption and password protection to ensure your data remains safe.
Access to your data is limited to Thrive in UAE staff who genuinely need it to deliver our services.
