Project RAK - Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

​

This Privacy Policy explains how Project RAK Investments Inc. and its affiliates (“Project RAK”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit or interact with our website (the “Website”) and when you contact us about our investment opportunities.

By using the Website or submitting information to us, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website or provide personal information.

​

Project RAK is a Canadian-registered investment company, and we handle personal information in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and any relevant provincial legislation, where applicable.

​

​

2. Scope

​

This Privacy Policy applies to:

• Visitors to the Project RAK Website

• Individuals who contact us via Wix website forms

• Individuals who communicate with us by email (via Google/Gmail)
   

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected through other channels, such as offline events, third-party platforms, or in connection with formal investment agreements, which may be governed by separate privacy or confidentiality terms.

 

​

3. Information We Collect

​

We collect personal information that you choose to provide to us directly, as well as technical and usage information collected automatically when you use the Website, including through Wix and Google Analytics.

​

​

3.1 Information You Provide Directly

​

When you submit an inquiry through our Website or contact us, you may provide:

• Contact details: name, email address, phone number, city, country, and similar details

• Professional information: organization, role, and investor status (e.g., indicating you are an accredited or qualified investor)

• Message content: information you include in free-text fields, such as questions about opportunities, meeting requests, or comments

• Preferences: your preferred method of contact and language, if provided
   

All inquiry forms on the Website are created and managed using Wix forms. Information submitted through these forms is collected and stored within the Wix platform, and may also be forwarded to Project RAK via Google/Gmail for review and follow-up.

​

3.2 Information Collected Automatically (Including Analytics)

​

When you visit the Website, we and/or our service providers (including Wix and Google Analytics) may automatically collect certain technical and usage data, which may include:

• IP address

• Browser type and version

• Device type and operating system

• Referring URL or page

• Pages viewed, links clicked, and time spent on the Website

• General location data inferred from your IP address (e.g., city, country)
   

This information is typically collected using cookies, logs, scripts, and similar technologies and is used for:

• Basic website functionality and security

• Traffic measurement and analytics (e.g., understanding how visitors navigate our pages)

• Improving and maintaining site performance and user experience
   

We do not use this automatically collected information to identify you personally, unless it is combined with other information you choose to provide.

 

​

4. How We Use Your Information

​

We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:

1. Responding to inquiries

   • To review and respond to messages submitted through Wix forms

   • To schedule calls or meetings when requested

   • To send requested information, such as a detailed investor deck (where appropriate)
      

2. Evaluating interest and suitability

   • To understand your level of interest in Project RAK’s opportunities

   • To assess, at a high level, whether you may qualify as an accredited or otherwise eligible investor under applicable laws (based on information you voluntarily provide)
      

3. Business operations and record-keeping

   • To maintain internal records of inquiries, communications, and follow-up actions

   • To improve our Website, communications, and information materials

   • To analyze visitor behavior on the Website using Google Analytics, in aggregated or de-identified form, to help us understand what content is most useful and how we can improve it
      

4. Legal and compliance purposes

   • To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and regulatory guidance

   • To respond to lawful requests and legal processes

   • To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and that of our users and third parties
      

We do not sell your personal information.

 

​

5. Legal Basis for Processing (If in the EU/UK/EEA)

​

While Project RAK is Canadian-registered, some visitors may access our Website from the European Union, United Kingdom, or EEA. Where EU/UK/EEA data protection laws apply, we process personal data on the following legal bases:

• Consent: when you voluntarily submit information via a Wix form or email, and where cookies/analytics require your consent under local law

• Legitimate interests: to respond to your communication, manage our business, maintain website security and analytics (including the use of Google Analytics), and evaluate interest in our offerings

• Legal obligations: to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements
   

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us (see Section 15), though this will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

 

​

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

​

Our Website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate effectively, improve performance, and understand how visitors use our pages.

​

A cookie is a small data file stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies can be “session” cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

​

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

​

​

6.1 Essential and Functional Cookies

​

These cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly and are generally set by our website provider, Wix. They may be used to:

• Enable core site functionality and security features

• Maintain your session and basic preferences

• Help ensure the Website displays and operates correctly across devices
   

Without these cookies, some parts of the Website may not work as intended.

​

​

6.2 Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

​

We use Google Analytics to collect and analyze information about how visitors use our Website. Google Analytics uses cookies to gather data such as:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page

• Links clicked and navigation patterns

• General geographic region (e.g., city, country) based on IP address

• Browser and device information
   

We use this information in aggregated form to:

• Understand how visitors interact with our Website

• Identify trends and improve content and usability

• Maintain and enhance the performance and security of the Website
   

Google Analytics may process and store this information on servers located outside your jurisdiction (including in the United States). Data collected through Google Analytics is used in aggregate; we do not use it to identify individual visitors.

​

You can learn more about how Google handles analytics data and how you can control it, including via browser add-ons and opt-out mechanisms, by visiting Google’s own information pages on privacy and data practices.

​

​

6.3 Email & Communication Tools (Google/Gmail)

​

While not a cookie technology, it is important to note that when you contact us or when Wix forwards your inquiry to us, the content of your messages and our replies are processed and stored through Google’s Gmail services. Gmail may use standard email-related technologies (such as logs and security scanning) to operate the service, protect against spam and abuse, and maintain system security.

​

This processing relates to your communications rather than your browsing activity on the Website, and is handled in accordance with Google’s own privacy and security practices.

​

​

6.4 Managing Cookies and Tracking

​

You have several options for managing cookies and similar technologies:

• Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, or to alert you when a cookie is being placed on your device. Please consult your browser’s help or settings menu for instructions.

• Analytics opt-out: You may be able to opt out of Google Analytics by using tools such as browser add-ons or settings offered by Google.

• Do Not Track: Our Website does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals, but you can still manage cookies via your browser settings as described above.
   

Please note that if you block or delete certain cookies, some features of the Website may not function properly or your experience may be limited.

 

​

7. How We Share Your Information

​

We may share personal information in the following situations:

1. Service Providers (Wix, Google/Gmail, Google Analytics)

   • Wix: We use Wix to host our Website and manage our inquiry forms, which means Wix stores and processes form submission data on our behalf.

   • Google (Gmail): We use Gmail for email correspondence, so your messages and replies may be stored and processed by Google’s email infrastructure.

   • Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to analyze Website traffic and usage in aggregated form. Google processes analytics data on our behalf to help us understand how visitors use the Website.
      

These providers act as service providers or data processors in many contexts, handling personal information to support our Website and communications, subject to their own privacy and security commitments.

​

1. Professional and Legal Advisors
   We may share information with our legal, accounting, and other professional advisors as necessary to obtain advice or protect our rights and interests.
    

2. Legal and Regulatory Requirements
   We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

   • Comply with legal obligations or regulatory requests

   • Protect and defend our rights or property

   • Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Website

   • Protect the personal safety of users or the public
      

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing or any other purposes.

 

​

8. International Transfers

​

Personal information collected through our Website, including via Wix, Google Analytics, and Gmail, may be transferred to and stored on servers located outside of your province, state, or country, including in Canada, the United States, and other locations where these providers maintain infrastructure.

​

By using the Website and providing your information, you understand that your personal information may be subject to the laws of other jurisdictions, which may differ from those in your place of residence. Where required, we take reasonable steps to ensure an appropriate level of protection for your information in these jurisdictions.

 

​

9. Data Security and Retention

​

We take reasonable physical, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

These measures include:

• Using reputable platforms (Wix and Google/Gmail/Google Analytics) that implement industry-standard security practices

• Limiting access to personal information to those within Project RAK who need it to perform their roles

• Using secure channels for email access and administrative interfaces
   

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain personal information:

• For as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and maintain appropriate business records;

• For as long as required or permitted by applicable laws and regulations; or

• Until you request deletion, where applicable and subject to legal retention requirements.
   

 

10. Your Rights and Choices

​

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, which can include the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you

• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information

• Request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal and contractual restrictions)

• Withdraw consent to processing where our processing is based on consent

• Object to or restrict certain types of processing

• Request information about how we use automated decision-making (if any)
   

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 15. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request and may not be able to fulfill a request where we are legally required to retain certain information.
