You acknowledge that the ArtsDAO ecosystem may comprise multiple independent legal entities, business lines, locations, event organisers, operators, partners, licensors, service providers, and affiliates.
Your relationship in respect of a specific Website feature, service, application flow, Digital Service, Clubhouse-related service, event, or payment interaction may be with the specific ArtsDAO Entity operating or responsible for that feature or service at the relevant time.
Nothing in this Privacy Policy creates a contractual relationship between you and any ArtsDAO entity, affiliate, partner, founder, employee, director, investor, member, contractor, or service provider unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement.
ArtsDAO may outsource, license, assign, delegate, or appoint third parties to operate, host, manage, support, maintain, process, or provide all or part of the Website, Digital Services, applications, payment pages, event pages, Clubhouse information, partner benefit pages, member portals, community tools, analytics, communications, or related services.
Where third parties process Personal Data on behalf of ArtsDAO, ArtsDAO will take reasonable steps to ensure that they process Personal Data in accordance with applicable data protection laws and appropriate contractual obligations.
Where third parties process Personal Data for their own purposes, their own privacy policies and terms may apply.

ArtsDAO does not sell Personal Data in the ordinary sense of selling personal information for money.
The Website and Digital Services may link to, integrate with, or redirect you to third-party platforms, including payment processors, application tools, login providers, event platforms, community platforms, analytics tools, social media platforms, wallet tools, or partner websites.
Where you interact with a third-party platform or service, that third party may process your Personal Data under its own privacy policy and terms.
ArtsDAO is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, policies, or processing activities of independent third parties.
ArtsDAO may process and transfer Personal Data in or to jurisdictions outside your country of residence, including the United Arab Emirates and other countries where ArtsDAO Entities, service providers, partners, or infrastructure providers are located.
Where required by applicable data protection law, ArtsDAO will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for international transfers of Personal Data.
ArtsDAO will retain Personal Data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to operate the Website and Digital Services, process applications and memberships, administer events and payments, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and protect ArtsDAO’s rights and community.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of Personal Data, the purpose of processing, legal requirements, limitation periods, and operational needs.
Where Personal Data is no longer required, ArtsDAO will delete, anonymise, or securely archive it in accordance with applicable law and internal retention practices.
Information recorded on public blockchains may not be capable of deletion by ArtsDAO.
ArtsDAO takes reasonable technical, organisational, and administrative measures designed to protect Personal Data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
However, no website, digital platform, payment system, blockchain network, email system, or storage system is completely secure.

The Website may use cookies, pixels, tags, analytics tools, tracking technologies, and similar technologies to operate and secure the Website, remember preferences, analyse usage, improve performance, measure marketing effectiveness, prevent fraud, and support Website functionality.

The Website, memberships, Digital Services, events, experiences, Clubhouse services, and other ArtsDAO services are intended for individuals who are at least 18 years old.
By accessing or using the Website, submitting an application, creating an account, registering for an event, making a payment, connecting a wallet, or using any Digital Service, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old.
ArtsDAO does not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18.
If ArtsDAO becomes aware that it has collected Personal Data from an individual under the age of 18 without appropriate legal basis, ArtsDAO may delete or restrict such Personal Data and suspend or terminate the relevant access, account, application, registration, or interaction.
If you believe that an individual under the age of 18 has provided Personal Data to ArtsDAO, please contact us using the details set out in Section 20.
Certain events, venues, Clubhouse areas, services, or experiences may be subject to higher age limits, identity checks, venue rules, licensing requirements, or local legal restrictions.
If ArtsDAO becomes aware of a Personal Data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights or freedoms, ArtsDAO will take steps to investigate, mitigate, and notify affected individuals or authorities where required by applicable law.
ArtsDAO may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
The updated version will be effective when posted on the Website, unless a later effective date is stated.
Your continued use of the Website or relevant services after the updated Privacy Policy is posted indicates that you acknowledge the updated Privacy Policy.
You should review this Privacy Policy regularly.
This Privacy Policy, and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Dubai International Financial Centre.
Any dispute, controversy, difference, or claim arising out of or in connection with this Privacy Policy, including any question regarding its existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, termination, or any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration.
The arbitration shall be administered by the Dubai International Arbitration Centre under the DIAC Arbitration Rules in force at the time of commencement of the arbitration.
The seat of arbitration shall be the Dubai International Financial Centre.
The language of the arbitration shall be English.
The tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator, unless ArtsDAO determines that the nature, value, or complexity of the dispute requires three arbitrators.
The arbitral award shall be final and binding on the parties.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party irrevocably waives any right of appeal, challenge, review, set-aside, annulment, or other recourse to any court or judicial authority in respect of the arbitral award.
Nothing in this clause shall prevent a party from applying to the DIFC Courts for the recognition, enforcement, or execution of an arbitral award, or for interim, conservatory, or urgent relief in support of arbitration where such relief cannot validly be excluded under applicable law.
Except for applications relating to interim relief, conservatory relief, recognition, enforcement, execution of an arbitral award, or any matter that cannot lawfully be excluded, the parties agree that disputes shall be resolved exclusively by arbitration and not by court proceedings.
