Submitting a form or message does not automatically create a legal representation relationship or an obligation to accept the matter unless this is separately and clearly confirmed.
Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared where necessary with providers supporting website operation, email, forms, hosting, or security, and with advisers or competent authorities where required to provide services or comply with law.

International Data Transfers
Some hosting, email, analytics, or technical services may rely on servers or providers located outside the UAE. Where a cross-border transfer occurs, reasonable steps are taken to use providers that offer appropriate data protection safeguards under the applicable requirements.
Data Retention
Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to manage an enquiry or matter, to meet legal and professional obligations, or to protect legal rights and claims.
Retention periods vary according to the type of information, the nature of the legal matter, and regulatory requirements. When information is no longer needed, it may be deleted, anonymised, or access-restricted as appropriate.
Information Security
Reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures are used to protect information against unauthorised access, use, alteration, or disclosure.
No electronic transmission or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While absolute security cannot be promised, reasonable steps are taken to reduce and manage relevant risks.

Subject to applicable law, you may request information about your personal data, its purposes of processing, and the parties with whom it is shared, and request correction or completion of inaccurate data.
You may also have rights to request erasure, restriction, objection, cessation of processing, and portability where the legal and technical conditions apply. Certain requests may be subject to legal exceptions, particularly where retention is necessary for legal claims, defence of rights, or compliance with a legal obligation.
