This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Are Square Coffee collects when you visit our café or use rsquarecoffee.com, how we use it, and the choices and rights you have.

Last updated: 26 September 2026

Applies to rsquarecoffee.com & our Amaya Mall café

1. Who we are

Are Square Coffee is a specialty café at Amaya Mall, Dubai, operated by [Legal company name as per trade licence] (trade licence [Trade licence number]). In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Are Square Coffee.

We are responsible for the personal information described in this policy. We aim to handle it in line with the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) and other applicable laws.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us

Contact form: your name, email address, phone number (optional), the type of enquiry, your message and any image you choose to upload (for example a selfie or company logo).
Newsletter: your email address when you subscribe to The Coffee Journal.
Selfie on Latte orders: the photo you share with our barista so we can print it on your drink.
Events, catering and reservations: the details you share with us, such as dates, number of guests and billing contact details.
WhatsApp, phone and email: the information you include when you contact us directly.

Information collected automatically

Technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited and the time of your visit, which our website hosting records in standard server logs.
Information stored by cookies and similar technologies (see section 6).

We do not ask for payment card details on this website. Payments in our café are processed by our card payment provider at the point of sale.

3. How we use your information

To reply to your enquiries and provide the service you asked for, including table reservations, selfie latte orders, events and catering.
To print your chosen image on your drink when you order a Selfie on Latte.
To send you The Coffee Journal newsletter, if you subscribed. Every email includes a way to unsubscribe.
To run, secure and improve our website and understand which pages are useful.
To keep records we are required to keep by law, and to prevent fraud or misuse.

4. Our legal basis

We process personal information only where we have a valid reason to do so, which may be:

Your consent, for example when you subscribe to our newsletter or upload a photo. You can withdraw consent at any time.
To carry out a request or agreement with you, such as answering your enquiry or organising your event.
Our legitimate interests in running and protecting our business and website, where these are not outweighed by your rights.
Legal obligations that apply to us in the UAE.

5. Your Selfie on Latte photos

Photos shared for a Selfie on Latte are used only to print your drink. [Confirm with the café: e.g. photos are deleted from the printing device at the end of each day].

The preview tool on our Selfie on Latte page runs in your browser, so the photo you try there is not sent to us.

We will only post a photo of your drink on our social media with your permission. If you tag us in your own posts, we may reshare them with credit, and you can ask us to remove a reshare at any time.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses a small number of technologies that are needed for it to work well:

Essential cookies set by WordPress and our page builder to keep the site secure and working.
Browser storage that saves a copy of our menu on your device so it loads faster on your next visit. It contains menu items only, not personal information.
Embedded content such as Google Maps on our Contact page, which may set its own cookies when you view or use the map.

You can clear or block cookies and site data in your browser settings. Some parts of the website may not work properly if you do.

8. How long we keep information

Contact form enquiries: up to 24 months after our last conversation, unless we need them longer for an ongoing event or legal reason.
Newsletter subscriptions: until you unsubscribe.
Selfie on Latte photos: as described in section 5.
Business and financial records: for as long as UAE law requires.

9. How we protect information

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including a secure (HTTPS) connection on our website and limited access to enquiries within our team. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you can ask us to:

Give you a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
Delete your information, or restrict how we use it.
Stop using your information for marketing, or withdraw a consent you gave.
Object to certain uses of your information.

To make a request, email info@rsquarecoffee.com. We may need to confirm your identity before we respond, and we will reply within the time required by law.

11. Children

Our website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through it. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

12. Changes to this policy
