Security & Compliance
GDPR & UAE PDPL aligned
Financial institutions at DIFC, government schools under KHDA, and luxury hospitality groups across the UAE all trust Buzzin with their data. Here is exactly how we protect it and keep your organisation compliant.
Certifications
These are not checkboxes. Each certification represents a specific commitment to how your data is handled, stored, and protected.
GDPR
Buzzin is aligned with GDPR requirements for data collection, storage, processing, and the rights of data subjects, including the right to deletion and data portability.
What this means for you
Every visitor who checks in has their data handled under GDPR-aligned policies with full support for subject access requests, deletion, and portability.
UAE PDPL
Buzzin’s data handling is aligned with the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45/2021), covering lawful processing, consent, retention, and the rights of data subjects under UAE jurisdiction.
What this means for you
Your visitor and contractor data is processed under UAE law, with retention policies and access controls that match local regulatory expectations.
TLS
All data in transit is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS 1.2+. Data at rest is encrypted with AES-256. No plaintext storage of sensitive visitor or contractor records anywhere in the platform.
What this means for you
Your data is unreadable in transit and unreadable at rest. Even Buzzin engineers cannot access it without role-based authorisation.
UAE Digital Infrastructure
Buzzin connects natively with the UAE government's digital identity systems. This is not an add-on; it is a core part of how the platform verifies every visitor and contractor.
UAE
UAE Pass is the UAE government’s national digital identity platform. Buzzin integrates natively, so visitors and residents can scan their UAE Pass QR code at the kiosk for instant, government-verified identity confirmation.
What this means for you
Visitors are verified against the UAE national identity database in real time, not a self-declared name on a form.
ICP
The ICP App (Identity and Citizenship Platform) enables real-time verification of Emirates ID, residency status, and passport details for all residents and visitors in the UAE.
What this means for you
Every contractor and visitor on your premises has their identity verified against federal government records rather than a photocopy of their ID.

Technical Security
For IT teams and security reviewers: the exact technical controls in place across the Buzzin platform.
All data in transit encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher. No unencrypted connections accepted.
Data at rest encrypted using AES-256. No plaintext storage of sensitive visitor or contractor data.
The Android kiosk tablet processes data in real time but stores nothing locally. All data syncs to cloud and is cleared from device.
Four user roles (Admin, Manager, Security Guard, Host), each with precisely scoped permissions. No user can access beyond their role.
Network firewalls, automated threat detection, and intrusion prevention systems operate continuously across Buzzin infrastructure.
All check-in and check-out events sync in real time between tablet and cloud. If connectivity drops, the queue is synced automatically on reconnect.
Continuous monitoring for unusual access patterns, failed authentication attempts, and anomalous data requests.
All deployed tablets are managed via Mobile Device Management. Buzzin can remotely troubleshoot, update, or wipe any device if required.
Every system action (login, check-in, permit approval, report export) is logged with timestamp, user, and device. Logs are immutable.
All platform updates are delivered over the air. No scheduled downtime for maintenance. Updates deploy to all devices automatically.
