You may change your preferences at any time.

Please note that we may continue to send you transactional or service-related e-mails despite your desire to not receive promotional or marketing e-mail messages. Additionally, please note that if you elect to opt-out of receiving promotional e-mails from one of our Website Services or the App, you may continue to receive promotional emails from our other websites, providers or other, non-affiliated marketers whose services you may have accessed via Prop-AI Website Services or App. Finally, while we may remove your individual contact information from our professional contacts database, please be aware that if such information is in a different third party’s marketing directory through your request or election, you will need to request removal with such third party directly.

Access to and Correction of Your Personal Information You have the right to access information held about you. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with DIFC and other applicable laws. Any access request generally comes at no cost to you, but may, where permissible, be subject to a fee to meet any extraordinary administrative costs in providing you with details of the information we hold about you.

When you contact us about a potential Personal Data error, we will endeavor to confirm or verify the information in question, then correct verified inaccuracies and respond to the original inquiry. We will endeavor to send a correction notice to businesses or others whom we know to have received the inaccurate data, where required and / or appropriate. However, some third parties and third-party sites may continue to process inaccurate data about you until their databases and display of data are refreshed in accordance with their update schedules, or until you contact them personally to ensure the correction is made in their own files.

You may also request that we restrict, erase or otherwise process your Personal Data in line with the relevant articles providing for such rights set out in the DP Law.
