A couple of notes: I used "Fit and Studio Republik" — let me know if the actual name/spelling differs, and you may want your legal counsel to review this before publishing, since company policies (confidentiality, data handling, etc.) vary.
Privacy Policy - The Basics
Here's the expanded privacy policy, incorporating UAE PDPL (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) requirements, internal training materials, and a no-third-party-sharing commitment:
Privacy Policy
Fit and Studio Republik is committed to protecting the personal data of its employees in accordance with UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data ("PDPL"). This intranet collects and processes limited personal data, including login credentials, usage activity, HR records, and information submitted through internal forms, tools, or training modules, solely for legitimate business purposes such as internal communication, HR administration, performance and compliance training, and system security.
Internal Training Materials. Records of employee participation in and completion of internal training materials, including compliance, onboarding, and professional development courses, may be collected and retained on this intranet. This data is used exclusively to track training progress, meet regulatory or certification obligations, and support internal reporting to management. It is not used for any purpose beyond these internal functions.
No Third-Party Sharing. Personal data collected through this intranet is not shared, sold, or disclosed to any third party. Access is limited strictly to authorized Fit and Studio Republik personnel on a need-to-know basis, except where disclosure is required by UAE law or a valid order from a competent authority.
Legal Basis and Data Subject Rights. Data is processed on the basis of legitimate business interest and, where applicable, employee consent or contractual necessity. In accordance with the PDPL, employees have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of their personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to request data portability, subject to applicable company policy and legal exceptions. Requests may be submitted to [HR/Data Protection Officer contact] and will be addressed within the timeframe required by law.
Data Security and Retention. Fit and Studio Republik applies appropriate technical and organizational safeguards, including access controls and, where appropriate, encryption, to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above or as required by UAE law, after which it is securely deleted or anonymized.
Policy Updates. This policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in law or company practice. Continued use of this intranet constitutes acknowledgment of the current policy.
A few things to fill in or confirm with legal counsel: the HR/Data Protection Officer contact for data requests, and whether Fit and Studio Republik is subject to a free zone data protection regime (e.g., DIFC or ADGM) instead of or in addition to the federal PDPL, since those have separate rules. Full PDPL compliance is required across the UAE by January 1, 2027, so this is a good time to have counsel confirm the policy meets that deadline.
Personal Data
Fit and Studio Republik retains personal data collected through this intranet purely for internal business purposes. This includes supporting HR administration, tracking employee training and compliance records, maintaining system security, and enabling internal communication. Data is never used for external marketing, sold, or shared with third parties, and is not processed for any purpose beyond the day-to-day operational needs of the company. All data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill these internal purposes or as required by UAE law, after which it is securely deleted or anonymized.
