A closed network for Lebanese pharma professionals across the Gulf. 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.
Generate an invite link
Creates a unique link for one person. Send it to them directly — anyone who opens it gets access to this directory on that browser. You can revoke any single invite later without affecting anyone else.

Privacy notice
This notice was drafted with the help of an AI tool, on a best-effort basis, to explain plainly how this directory handles your data. There is nothing hidden or malicious in this app — its only purpose is to help members of this network find and connect with each other. This text is not a substitute for formal legal advice; see the note at the end for details.
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
This directory is administered by Nathalie Bassil and Danielle Chalouhi, who act as the data controllers. Contact them directly through the group's usual channel to exercise any of the rights below.
What is collected
Name, current role, company, and function
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. The organizer may also transfer this data to a different platform if this app is ever discontinued or replaced, for the same stated purpose of enabling networking within this group.
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 specific consent. This is why the join form asks for this separately from your general sharing consent — ticking that second box is what covers this transfer. 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.
Retention policy
Our policy is to retain your entry for as long as you remain a member of this network, or until you ask for it to be removed — whichever comes first. There is no automatic deletion after a fixed period. Deletion requests are actioned within 4 working days of being received.
If your role, company, or contact details change, please let us know so we can remove your existing entry — you can then submit a fresh entry with your updated information. Entries are not edited in place; each update is a new submission after the old one is deleted.
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 (actioned within 4 working days)
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
To exercise any of these, contact Nathalie Bassil or Danielle Chalouhi 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.
