We will not use personal data for purposes that are incompatible with those described in this Privacy Policy unless we inform you or are otherwise permitted or required to do so by law.

Depending on the circumstances, we may process personal data:

• with your consent;
• in order to respond to a request you have made;
• to take steps before entering into a contract;
• to perform services under a contract with you;
• to comply with legal or regulatory obligations;
• to establish, exercise or defend legal rights;
• to protect the security of our website, systems, personnel or clients;

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

We use necessary cookies to support the secure and proper operation of the website.

With your permission, we may also use:

• Analytics cookies, which help us understand website usage and performance;
• Marketing cookies, which help us measure campaigns, track enquiries and improve the relevance of our communications;
• Functional cookies, where required to provide optional website features.

Analytics and marketing cookies will only be activated where the relevant consent has been provided.

You can accept, reject or manage optional cookies through our cookie banner. You can change your decision at any time by selecting Cookie Settings in the website footer.

Further information is available in our Cookie Policy.

We may share personal data only where reasonably necessary and permitted by law.

Recipients may include:

Service providers acting on our behalf are expected to use personal data only for the services they provide to us and to apply appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards.

We do not disclose personal data to third parties for unrelated commercial purposes.

Some of our service providers, professional partners or technology systems may be located outside the United Arab Emirates.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the transfer is made in accordance with applicable data protection requirements and that appropriate contractual, organisational or technical safeguards are applied.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against:

• unauthorised access;
• accidental loss;
• misuse or unlawful processing;
• unauthorised disclosure;
• alteration or destruction.

Access to personal data is limited to personnel and service providers who require it for legitimate professional or operational purposes.

Although we take appropriate precautions, no website, email system or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore avoid sending highly confidential information through unsecured communication channels.

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

The applicable retention period may depend on:

• the nature of the enquiry or service;
• whether a professional or contractual relationship is established;
• legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or licensing requirements;
• potential or ongoing disputes;
• limitation periods;
• fraud prevention and security requirements;
• the need to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

When personal data is no longer required, we will delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it, subject to any legal requirement to retain it.

We may send you professional news, regulatory updates, invitations or information about our services where:

• you have requested such communications;
• you have provided consent;
• or the communication is otherwise permitted by applicable law.

You may unsubscribe at any time by:

• using the unsubscribe link included in the communication;
• or contacting us at info@advisers.ae.

Withdrawing from marketing communications will not prevent us from sending service-related or administrative messages where necessary.

Subject to applicable law and any relevant exceptions, you may have the right to:

• request information about how your personal data is processed;
• request access to personal data held about you;
• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• request deletion of personal data in certain circumstances;
• request restriction or suspension of processing;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• request a portable copy of certain personal data;
• object to certain forms of processing;
• object to decisions based solely on automated processing, where applicable;
• submit a complaint to the relevant data protection authority.

The UAE Personal Data Protection Law expressly provides rights relating to information, correction or erasure, restriction of processing and transfer of personal data. The Emirates Data Office is responsible for developing complaint and appeal mechanisms and supervising federal data-protection requirements.

We may need to verify your identity before responding. Certain requests may be refused or limited where permitted or required by law, including where information must be retained for regulatory, contractual or legal purposes.

We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their privacy practices. When you leave our website or interact with a third-party service, you should review the privacy policy of the relevant provider.

Submitting an enquiry through the website does not necessarily create a formal professional engagement or client relationship.

Where we agree to provide professional services, additional engagement terms, confidentiality provisions and service-specific privacy notices may apply.

Information provided through a general enquiry form should not be assumed to be protected by legal privilege unless and until the relevant professional relationship has been formally established and applicable requirements have been satisfied.

Our website and services are intended for business users and adults.

We do not knowingly request personal data from children through the website. If you believe that a child has provided personal data to us without appropriate authorisation, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.

• changes to our services;
• changes to the website or technologies we use;
• legal or regulatory developments;
