02 What we collect

Information you give us

There are two kinds of form on this website, and both are optional to use.

If you email or call us directly, we hold that correspondence too, for the same purposes described below.

Information collected automatically

We do not ask for, and ask that you do not send us, special category information such as health, religion, biometrics or political opinions, or payment card numbers, through these forms.

03 Why we use it, and on what basis

PurposeBasis
Replying to your enquiryYour consent, given by submitting the form, and our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us
Preparing a quotation or proposalSteps taken at your request before entering a contract
Delivering and supporting a system you have boughtPerformance of our contract with you
Keeping the website available and free of abuseOur legitimate interest in operating a secure service
Meeting tax, accounting and audit obligationsCompliance with a legal obligation

We do not send marketing emails from this website. If that ever changes, we will ask for your consent first and every message will carry a one click unsubscribe.

04 Who else is involved

We keep the number of third parties deliberately small. Each one below acts on our instructions, or receives only what is technically necessary to serve you a page.

ProviderWhat it doesWhat it sees
NetlifyHosts the website and stores form submissionsEverything you submit, plus server log data including your IP address
Microsoft 365Hosts our mailboxes, where your enquiry arrivesThe contents of your enquiry and our correspondence with you
Google FontsServes the two typefaces this site is set inYour IP address and browser details, when your browser fetches the fonts
Anam and AnthropicRun Maro, the guide, when you choose to talk to herWhat you say to Maro during that conversation; nothing is kept after it

We may also disclose personal data where we are legally required to, for example to a regulator, court or law enforcement authority acting within its powers.

05 Cookies and local storage

The public pages of this website set no cookies. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.

Two areas of this domain are private staff tools: the admin portal at /adminsec and the internal Q&I web app at /qi. They are not open to the public: signing in requires a Microsoft work account on our own tenant. Once signed in, they keep a sign in token in your browser's session storage so you are not asked to authenticate on every page. That token is cleared when you close the tab, and it never leaves your browser.

06 Where your data is held

We operate from the UAE and Lebanon, but the providers listed in section 04 run global infrastructure, so your data may be stored or processed outside the UAE, including in the European Union and the United States. Where a transfer is subject to UAE or EU data protection law, we rely on the safeguards those providers offer, such as standard contractual clauses in their data processing agreements.

07 How long we keep it

You can ask us to delete your data sooner, see section 08.

08 Your rights

Under UAE Federal Decree Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data and, if you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, under the GDPR, you can ask us to:

Write to besmart@besmart-me.com and we will respond within 30 days. We may ask you to confirm your identity first. If you believe we have handled your data improperly, you may complain to the UAE Data Office or, in the EEA or UK, to your national supervisory authority.

09 Security

The site is served over HTTPS. Form submissions travel encrypted, and access to them is limited to the people at BeSmart who need it. Our staff portals are protected by Microsoft work account sign in on our own tenant. No system is perfectly secure, but if a breach ever affects your personal data we will notify you and the relevant authority as the law requires.

10 Products we install for clients

This statement covers this website only. When we deploy R&B, ResM, Maro or any other system into a client's venue, that client is the controller of the data their system handles, including their guests' orders and bookings and, where the voice host is enabled, guest speech. Our role there is that of a processor acting on the client's instructions, governed by the contract and data processing terms agreed with them, not by this page.

11 Children

This website sells business systems to businesses. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

12 Changes to this statement

We will update this page when our practices change. The version you are reading is always the current one, and material changes will be signposted on the page itself.
