A closed network for Lebanese pharma professionals across the Gulf. Nothing here is browsable — search by name, role, or skill to find someone, and request to connect.
⌕
Start typing to search the directory. There's no member list to browse — every entry stays private until you search for it.
Add yourself to the directory. Only the fields below are stored, and nothing is visible to other members until you check the consent box. Contact details are never shown directly in search — members reveal them deliberately, one at a time.
Export directory
Enter the export password to download all member data as an Excel file. Treat this file as sensitive — it contains contact details members shared in confidence.
Privacy notice
This notice explains how the Lebanese Lifesciences Network directory collects, uses, and shares your personal data, in line with the UAE's Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (the "UAE PDPL").
Who controls this data
The network organizer who set up and administers this directory acts as the data controller. Contact them directly to exercise any of the rights below.
What is collected
Name, current role, company, and function/therapeutic area
Skillset tags you select or add
Email, phone, and/or LinkedIn — whichever you choose to provide
Your stated contact preference (networking, job opportunities, or no contact)
The date and time you gave consent
Why it's collected
Solely to let other verified members of this closed group search for and connect with you for professional networking or job-related purposes. It is not used for marketing, sold, or shared outside the group.
Legal basis
Processing relies on your explicit, informed consent, as required under Article 5 of the UAE PDPL. Consent is specific to this directory's stated purpose and is not bundled with anything else.
Who can see it
Other members of this directory can find your name, role, company, function, and skillset by searching. Direct contact details (email/phone) are only revealed if you've opted in to "networking" or "job opportunities" and another member actively clicks to reveal them — this is logged but not pre-moderated. The organizer can also export the full dataset using a password-protected admin function.
Where it's stored
Data is stored using Supabase, a database hosting provider, on infrastructure located in Tokyo, Japan (Northeast Asia region). This is processing outside the UAE. Under the PDPL, cross-border transfers require either an adequate level of protection in the destination country or your consent — by submitting this form, you consent to this storage arrangement as part of using the directory. Japan's data protection framework (the APPI) is a separate legal regime from the UAE's; the organizer has not obtained a formal adequacy assessment for this specific arrangement.
How long it's kept
Your entry is kept until you ask the organizer to remove it, or until the directory is shut down. There is currently no automatic deletion after a fixed period.
Your rights under the UAE PDPL
Access — ask what data is held about you
Correction — ask for inaccurate details to be fixed
Erasure — ask for your entry to be deleted entirely
Restriction — ask for processing to be paused without deletion
Objection — object to a specific use of your data
Withdraw consent — at any time, without affecting processing already carried out
Portability — request your data in a usable format
Complain — you may also raise concerns with the UAE Data Office
To exercise any of these, contact the organizer directly through the group's usual channel.
Security
Search results never expose contact details by default — they require a deliberate click. The admin export is password-gated. That said, this is a lightweight community tool, not enterprise-grade security infrastructure: don't treat it as a vault for anything more sensitive than standard professional contact details.
This notice is provided for transparency and is based on the publicly available text of UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021. It is not a substitute for legal advice. Given this group spans the wider Gulf and data may be processed outside the UAE, the organizer should have this notice reviewed by a qualified lawyer before relying on it for compliance purposes — particularly around free-zone data protection regimes (e.g. DIFC, ADGM), which operate under separate rules, and any countries in the GCC where members are based.
