Privacy policy

Last updated: 2026-07-12

Introduction

Welcome to Ghallah, a platform for car wash operations management. We are committed to protecting your privacy and personal data under the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), issued in 2021, and its implementing regulations issued in 2023.

This policy explains the types of data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and your rights.

Important note: We do not store vehicle plate numbers or driver-identifying personal data. The detection system records only the vehicle type.

Legal basis for processing

  • Contract performance: Account data required to provide the service
  • Legal obligation: Activity logs for financial and security audit
  • Legitimate interest: Detection logs and vehicle images to improve the service
  • Explicit consent: Any additional processing that requires your express permission

Where data is stored

Your personal data is stored only inside Saudi Arabia on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure servers in the Riyadh region (ME-RIYADH-1), in line with PDPL requirements.

AI detection runs locally on the branch device. The platform does not keep a permanent raw camera-video archive, but it may store cropped vehicle snapshots, exit snapshots, and worker-provided drying proof still images that are needed for review, billing audit, support, and model-quality improvement.
