Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 2026. The Vibe Edition operates on a privacy-first foundation: no user accounts, no checkout carts, and zero sale of personal reader data.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
Because The Vibe Edition is an independent reference reading room rather than an e-commerce storefront, we do not require account registration, do not collect personal financial information (credit cards, banking details), and do not maintain customer transaction databases.
2. Technical Cookies & Country Preference
We utilize essential client-side cookies solely to remember your preferred GCC reference country (e.g. UAE vs Saudi Arabia) and your active side-by-side brand comparison list. These functional cookies expire after one year and contain no personally identifiable data.
3. Reader Communications
When you contact our editors or submit a media kit partnership request via our web forms, your contact details (name and email) are used exclusively to correspond regarding your specific inquiry. We never sell, lease, or distribute our communication logs to third-party marketing brokers.
4. Regional GCC Compliance
Our digital data practices comply with relevant regional data protection frameworks, including the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data Protection (PDPL) and the Saudi Arabia Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL).
