Consent

In order to register for the Amwaj Residents Forum, or to provide you with information that you request, it may be necessary at times to ask for certain personal information such as your name and address, telephone number or email address. You are not required to provide the personal information requested, but if you chose not to do so, we may not be able to provide you with our services or respond to any queries you have.

Online collection of information

Our website only captures personal information identifiable to you, including your email address, when you specifically give them to us to receive information. As a general policy, no personal information is automatically collected when you visit our site. Non-personal information relating to site traffic and usage is gathered for internal evaluation to help us better serve you.

We analyse such logs in an effort to constantly improve the value of our content and services. The logs do not contain personally identifiable information, nor does Amwaj Islands make any attempt to link the traffic information on the site with the individuals who actually visit the site.
