We conduct periodic reviews of these precautions to ensure that all safeguards are implemented and remain state of the art.

Data Transfers of your Personal Information

If we need transfer Personal Information to a country outside the EU, we shall put in place adequate safeguards to ensure the transfer is made in accordance to EU data protection law.

When you submit your data to 42 market research or when you participate in any market research studies, you are consenting to the transfer of your Personal Information to servers that may be located outside of your current geographic region.

Access to Personal Information

You have rights of access to the data that we hold on you. We are committed to meeting all reasonable requests for information that are not subject to specific exemptions.

A subject data access request is a written request for Personal Information held about you by 42 market research.

You have the right to request a copy of any Personal Information that we may hold about you; the source for the Personal Information that we may hold about you; the business purpose for the Personal Information that we may hold about you; details of third parties in case your Personal Information has been shared.

Simply send an email to us at if you would like a copy of some or all of your Personal Information. You can also write to 42 market research, Office 406, BB2 Tower, Mazaya Business Avenue, Jumeirah Lake Towers, P.O. Box 211791, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

For any data access request, we will first check that we have enough information to be sure of your identity.

Normally, we will have no reason to doubt a person’s identity – for example, if we have regularly corresponded with them.

If we have good cause to doubt your identity, we may ask you to provide any evidence we need to confirm your identity. For example:

  • Information known only to you
  • A witnessed copy of your signature
  • Proof of your address

Should you make a data access request but you are not the data subject, you must stipulate the basis under the relevant national or international Data Protection Act that you consider makes you entitled to the information.

We will check that we have enough information to find the data you requested. If we need more information, then we will promptly ask you for this.

Once any queries around the information requested have been resolved, copies of the information will be made available to you. This will be via a password protected, secure and encrypted URL.

We will endeavour to provide your requested Personal Information within 30 days of receiving your access request. If we cannot fulfil your request, we will provide you with a written explanation of why we had to deny your access request.

You may be able to access your Personal Information and correct or amend or delete it where it is inaccurate, except as follows:

  • The burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy
  • If you have made a previous data access request and the interval that has elapsed since the previous request is not reasonable
  • If you have made more than 2 data access requests within the past 12 months
  • Providing access to your Personal Information might reveal Personal Information about others
  • Disclosing the information would reveal confidential commercial information of 42 market research or its clients

If you identify any error in our records, and we agree that the information is inaccurate, we will correct or destroy this information.
