Saudi Arabia – Distributor Model, Consent and Local Compliance

Scope. This Cookie Policy applies where this website, our cookie preference tool, local campaign pages, pixels, tags, device identifiers or similar tracking technologies are used for visitors in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or for Saudi market activities.

Distributor responsibility. In Saudi Arabia, RYOBI operates through an authorised distributor, Khusheim Company for Industrial Equipment, with registration number 2050001717 and address, F44F+MCH, Khaleej Road, Ash Shati Ash Sharqi, Dammam 32413, Saudi Arabia rather than through its own local company. The distributor is responsible for the local market-facing collection and use of cookie-derived data, tracking pixels, tags, advertising identifiers and campaign data that it deploys, instructs or controls through its own websites, pages, platforms or advertising campaigns, including providing local notices and obtaining any required consent. Where RYOBI operates the global website or central cookie platform for its own purposes, RYOBI remains responsible for that processing, and the distributor must process any cookie-derived data it receives only as agreed with RYOBI and not for incompatible purposes.

Cookies, consent and preferences. Strictly necessary cookies may be used to provide the website or a service requested by the user. Non-essential analytics/performance, functionality, targeting, advertising, profiling or similar tracking technologies used for Saudi market activities must be configured to obtain prior, informed and freely given consent where required by applicable Saudi law. Consent records should identify the user preference, date and time, consent wording, website or campaign channel, cookie category and relevant advertising or analytics partners, and users should be able to withdraw or change their preferences easily.

Tracking, advertising and AI tools. The distributor must not add, change or activate advertising cookies, pixels, tags, SDKs, retargeting tools, recommendation engines, AI-enabled advertising or measurement tools, or other third-party tracking technologies for Saudi market activities without RYOBI’s prior approval and appropriate notice. Advertising and analytics partners should be disclosed by category or name where practicable, and cookie-derived data should not be shared for interest-based advertising, retargeting, lookalike audience creation, profiling or automated decision-making unless the required notice, consent and contractual controls are in place.

Local digital compliance. Saudi market activities should be carried out in a manner consistent with applicable local requirements relating to e-commerce and consumer protection, electronic communications and telecommunications, advertising and marketing, cybercrime and cybersecurity, website content, platform compliance and online records. The distributor should ensure that local campaign pages, promotions, enquiry forms, warranty flows and any local purchase or after-sales channels provide clear information about the responsible entity, material terms, eligibility criteria, charges, delivery or service limitations and available support channels where relevant.
Cross-border transfers and recordkeeping. Cookie-derived personal data relating to Saudi users may be accessed by, or shared with, group companies, the distributor, technology providers, advertising partners and service providers outside Saudi Arabia. The distributor and any other party responsible for the transfer must ensure that such transfers are permitted under applicable Saudi law and supported by appropriate notices, consents where required, transfer assessments, contractual protections and data minimisation measures. Records of cookie preferences, partner approvals, campaign tags, transfer decisions and retention settings should be kept where relevant.

Security and retention. RYOBI, the distributor and relevant service providers will protect cookie-derived data using appropriate technical and organisational measures, including access controls, secure configuration of tags and pixels, restrictions on partner use, and procedures for responding to suspected incidents involving cookie or tracking data. Cookie-derived data should be retained only for the disclosed purposes and deleted, anonymised or aggregated when no longer needed, unless a longer period is required by law.

Notices and user rights. Saudi users should receive clear local notice explaining the cookie categories, purposes, partners, controller or distributor responsibility, cross-border transfers and how to manage preferences. Users may contact RYOBI, or the distributor where it controls the relevant local channel, to request access, correction, deletion or withdrawal of consent, or to raise questions or complaints about cookie-derived data. RYOBI and the distributor will coordinate to respond to requests concerning Saudi market activities in accordance with applicable Saudi law. Further information about the processing of personal data is set out in the KSA Privacy Policy [https://me.ryobitools.eu/footer-links-ar/privacy-statement-ksa/].
