This helps NCP to improve the way the NCP site works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

Information NCP receives from other sources. NCP may combine this information with information you give to NCP and information NCP collects about you. NCP may use this information and the combined information for the purposes set out above (depending on the type of information NCP receives).

NCP may share any information provided by you or collected from NCP with NCP's affiliates, third party vendors, analytics and search engine providers, and advisors and consultants. NCP will share information with third parties as follows:

• If NCP is under a duty to disclose or share your personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply NCP's Terms Of Use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the National Center for Privatization & PPP (NCP), or others;
• With service providers or contractors that perform certain functions on NCP's behalf, including processing information that you provide to NCP on the NCP site, operating the NCP site or portions of it, providing or administering services, or in connection with other aspects of NCP's services;

• To respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process; to investigate, or prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, or security or technical issues, or to enforce NCP's Terms Of Service or this Privacy Notice, as otherwise may be required by applicable law or to protect NCP's rights, property, or safety or those of others;

By using the NCP site, or providing information to NCP, you understand and unambiguously consent to the collection, use, disclosure and retention of information in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other countries and territories, for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Notice and the NCP Terms Of Use . You hereby consent to the collection, use, disclosure, and retention by NCP of your personal information as described under this Privacy Notice, including but not limited to the transfer of your personal information between NCP and the third parties, affiliates, and subsidiaries described in this Privacy Notice. For further certainty, any consent relating to a right to transfer information referred to in this paragraph shall be deemed to include your consent to the transfer of the applicable personal information to a jurisdiction which may provide a different level of privacy protection than that available in your own country.

NCP will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

All information you provide to NCP is stored on NCP's secure servers. Where NCP has given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of the NCP site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. NCP asks you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although NCP will do NCP's best to protect your personal information, NCP cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to the NCP site. Any transmission is at your own risk. Once NCP has received your information, NCP will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

If you do not agree with these terms, then please do not access, browse, or register for the NCP site. If you choose not to provide NCP with certain information required to provide you with various services offered on the NCP site, you may not be able to establish a user account and NCP may not be able to provide you with those services.

The NCP site may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of NCP partner networks and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that NCP does not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal information to these websites.

Any changes NCP may make to the NCP privacy notice in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by e-mail. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to the NCP privacy notice.
