1. Introduction

Dealup S.A.R.L. ("Dealup", "we", "us" or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy and personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and safeguard your information when you visit our website (dealup.ma), use our platform or engage with our services.

This policy is drafted in accordance with Morocco's data protection framework, primarily the Dahir n 1-15-23 dated February 18, 2016, which transposes Law 09-08 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data (the "DGPD"), as well as guidelines issued by the Commission Nationale de Contrôle de la Protection des Données à Caractère Personnel (CNDP).

By using our website or services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please discontinue use of our website and services immediately.

  • Account credentials (username, password)
  • Billing and payment information (processed securely via our payment providers)
  • Content you upload or transmit through our platform (messages, media, contact lists)

Under the DGPD, we process your personal data only when we have a valid legal basis to do so. The legal bases we rely on include:

  • Consent: You have given us clear, informed and explicit consent to process your data for specific purposes. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
  • Contractual necessity: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or to take pre-contractual steps at your request.
  • Legal obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
  • Legitimate interest: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided such interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.

When we process sensitive personal data (which we generally do not collect), we obtain your explicit prior consent or rely on another valid legal basis under the DGPD.

6. International Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Morocco, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection. When we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest
  • Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
  • Access controls and authentication mechanisms
  • Employee training on data protection practices
  • Incident response procedures for data breaches

While we strive to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to promptly notifying you and the CNDP of any data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms.
