Privacy Policy
Emodels me DMCC ("Emodels Pro", "we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you use emodelspro.com ("the Site") and our coaching, education and related services ("the Services"), why we collect it, how we use it, who we share it with, and what your rights are.
1. What data we collect

- Profile information: experience level, modeling interests (runway, editorial, commercial, brand, fitness, career guidance).
- Communications: messages you send us, replies to surveys, casting applications, photos and portfolio material you upload.
- Payment information (if and when you purchase a paid service): processed directly by our payment provider; we do not store full card numbers on our servers.
Data we collect automatically

3. Marketing & WhatsApp opt-in
You will only receive marketing emails or WhatsApp messages from us if you explicitly opted in at registration. You can withdraw consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email, replying STOP to any WhatsApp message, or emailing info@emodelspro.com.
4. Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with:
- Service providers who help us run the Services (hosting, email delivery, analytics, CRM, payment processors) under contract and confidentiality obligations.
- Partner agencies only where you have applied to be considered for representation or a casting and you have given specific consent for that introduction.
- Authorities where required by UAE law, court order, or to protect our rights and the safety of others.
5. International transfers
We are based in the UAE. Some of our service providers process data in the EU, UK, or US. Where data leaves the UAE, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or your explicit consent.
6. How long we keep your data
- Account & profile data: for as long as you have an account, plus 24 months for inactive accounts.
- Marketing data: until you withdraw consent, plus 12 months for suppression records.
- Financial & tax records: 5 years (as required by UAE law).
- Casting/portfolio submissions: 24 months after your last activity unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
7. Your rights
Under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021), the GDPR, and equivalent laws where applicable, you have the right to:
- Access your personal data and obtain a copy.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.

9. Security
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls, and regular review of our processors. No system is 100% secure, but we work continuously to safeguard your information.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest version. Material changes will be communicated by email or a banner on the Site before they take effect.
