Privacy Policy

Last updated: 16 July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the Middle East Green Initiative (MGI) Secretariat collects, uses, and protects information gathered through this website ("the website"). By using the website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, such as when you submit the Contact Us form (full name, email address, phone number, subject, and message) or apply for a position through the Careers page (full name, email address, phone number, location, nationality, education level, experience level, a covering message, and your uploaded resume/CV).

We also collect limited technical information automatically, such as your browser type, device type, and the pages you visit, to help us maintain and improve the website.

We store your preferred display language (English or Arabic) in a cookie so the website remembers your choice on your next visit.

How We Use Your Information

Contact form submissions are used to respond to your inquiry and are reviewed only by the relevant MGI Secretariat team.

Job application details, including your resume, are used solely to evaluate your candidacy for the position you applied to and are shared only with the hiring team responsible for that role.

Technical and usage information is used in aggregate to understand how the website is used and to improve its content, performance, and accessibility.

Cookies

The website uses a small number of essential cookies, such as the language-preference cookie described above, that are necessary for the site to function correctly. These cookies do not track you across other websites.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect some website features, such as your saved language preference.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

Information may be shared with MGI member-country partners or service providers strictly where necessary to respond to your inquiry, process a job application, or operate the website, and always subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.

We may disclose information where required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of MGI, its partners, or the public.

Data Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information you share with us from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

While we work to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain contact submissions and job applications only for as long as necessary to address your inquiry or evaluate your application, and in line with applicable record-keeping requirements, after which the information is securely deleted or anonymized.

Your Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information you have submitted to us.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in the "Contact Us" section below.

Children's Privacy

The website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised.
