How we handle your details, and the terms of this website

Version 2026-10-10. Applies to linkswatchcentre.com and to the enquiries, visit requests and tracking links it offers.

Privacy notice

Links Watch Centre is a watch retail and repair shop in Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain (Commercial Registration 140047-2). This notice explains what we collect through this website, why, where it is kept, and what you can ask us to do with it. It is written to meet the Kingdom of Bahrain's Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 30 of 2018).

What we collect

We ask only for what we need to reply. There are no hidden fields and nothing is read from your device beyond what you type or attach.

Why we use it

To reply to your enquiry, to prepare for your visit, to identify the piece you asked about, and — if you go on to sell, buy or leave a piece with us — to keep the records a shop is required to keep. Photographs are used only to identify the piece and its condition. We do not use your details for advertising, and we never sell or share them for marketing.

Who sees it

Only the shop's own staff. We do not pass your details to anyone else, except the service providers below, who process them for us and may not use them for their own purposes.

Where it is kept — including outside Bahrain

Your enquiry is stored in the shop's own management system, and your photographs in the shop's private storage. Those systems are hosted for us by Railway (application hosting) and Cloudflare (storage and network), whose servers are outside the Kingdom of Bahrain. Bahraini law allows a transfer abroad with your consent, which is why the enquiry form asks for it before anything is sent. If you would rather not agree, you can contact us on WhatsApp or visit the shop instead.

Consent, and what the form does not send

Nothing is sent until you tick the consent box and press Review. Choosing to continue on WhatsApp opens WhatsApp on your own device with your message ready; sending it there is your action, under WhatsApp's own terms.

Cookies and third parties

How long we keep it

When we buy from you

When we buy a watch from you, we record your name, contact details and a copy of your ID (CPR or passport) with the purchase. We do this to show that each piece was bought lawfully from its owner and to meet our record-keeping obligations. These records are kept securely, only for as long as the law requires us to keep business records, and are shared only with the authorities when we are legally required to.

Your rights

You may ask us at any time to tell you what we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, or to withdraw your consent. Message us on WhatsApp at +973 3661 1900, email [email protected], or ask at the counter. We reply within 30 days, and usually the same day. Where the law requires us to keep a record — for example of a piece we bought from you — we will tell you what must stay and why. If you are not satisfied with our answer you may complain to the Personal Data Protection Authority of the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Tracking links

A tracking link shows the stage of a job and the photographs taken at the counter. It works for anyone who has the link, so keep it to yourself and to the person collecting for you. We do not put personal details on that page.

Children

This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect details from anyone under 18.

Changes

If this notice changes, the new version and its date are published here. The version you agreed to is noted on your enquiry.

Terms of use

By using this website you accept these terms. They are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Bahrain, and the courts of Bahrain have jurisdiction over any dispute about them.

What this website is

It describes the shop and lets you send us an enquiry, request a visit, or follow a job you have left with us. It is not an online shop. Nothing on it is an offer to buy or sell, and no contract is formed through it.

Enquiries and valuations

An enquiry is a request for a conversation. We do not quote a price or a value from photographs alone; any figure we mention before seeing a piece is an indication and not an offer. Prices, offers and valuations are given only after the piece has been examined at the counter.

Visits

A visit request is a request. It is confirmed by us, by WhatsApp or telephone, and until then no time is held for you.

Work left with us

A piece left with us for service or repair is governed by the drop-off receipt you sign at the counter, the quotation you approve, and the invoice you receive at collection. Those documents set out the price, the warranty and the collection terms, and they take precedence over anything on this website.

Tracking

The tracking page shows the information current in our system when it is opened. Stages and dates may change; the shop's own records are the record.

Brands and independence

Links Watch Centre is an independent business. We are not an authorised dealer, agent or service centre for Rolex, Patek Philippe, Omega, Cartier or any other manufacturer, and we are not affiliated with any of them. Brand and model names on this website are the trademarks of their owners and are used only to identify the pieces we buy, sell and work on.

Content

This website — its code, design and layout, text, photographs and illustrations — is an original work of Links Watch Centre, or is used with permission, and is protected under the Kingdom of Bahrain's Law No. 22 of 2006 on the Protection of Copyright and Neighbouring Rights and the Berne Convention. It may not be copied, reproduced, adapted, translated, hosted elsewhere or used to build another website, in whole or in part, without our written permission. The files carry identifying marks, and copies can be traced.

Availability

We try to keep the website accurate and available, but we do not promise that it is free of errors or interruptions. For anything that matters, confirm with us directly.
