How EPIC handles personal data on this website.

Who we are

This website is published by EPIC – Emirati Perspectives and Insight Centre. EPIC is an independent research initiative in formation. It is not yet a registered or licensed entity.

What we collect

Nothing. The site has no analytics, advertising, tracking pixels or third-party embeds, and its fonts are hosted on this site. The newsletter and search forms do not send or store anything: the newsletter is not yet open and search runs entirely in your browser.

Cookies and browser storage

The site sets no cookies. It uses your browser’s own storage for two essential items only: your cookie choice and whether the homepage intro has played this session. Nothing optional loads before you consent, and no optional features exist at present. You can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” in the footer.

The EPIC Brief

When the newsletter opens it will be opt-in only: an unticked consent box, a confirmation email (double opt-in) and an unsubscribe link in every issue. We will collect only your email address, and this notice will be updated with the provider, storage location and retention period before any data is collected.

Contacting us

You can contact EPIC through this website. If you write to us, we will use your message only to reply and will delete it on request.

Your rights

You may ask what data we hold about you (at present, none), and ask for it to be corrected or deleted. This notice was last updated on 20 October 2026.
