Aljazat Privacy Policy
​Effective Date: Jul 2021
​
As a firm dealing with significant business formation and residency procedures in the UAE, Aljazat ("We," "Our," "Us") is committed to protecting the confidential information you entrust to us. This policy details our strict protocols for handling your Personal and Business Data, focusing on compliance and asset security.
​
1. The Data We Collect and Why (Risk Assessment)
​
Our primary function—facilitating business setup, residency visas, and financial support—necessitates the collection of highly sensitive data. The failure to collect and process this accurately exposes both you and Aljazat to significant regulatory risk (e.g., AML/KYC violations).
2. Processing and Use of Collected Data
​
We only process your data to the extent required to execute the services you have contracted us for and to comply with the legal framework of the UAE.
​
-
Service Fulfillment: Directly using Identity and Business Data for submitting official applications to government and free zone entities.
-
Regulatory Adherence: Utilizing Identity and Financial Data to satisfy local Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) obligations.
-
Client Management: Processing Contact Data for invoicing, account management, and status updates regarding your file.
-
Risk Mitigation: Retaining necessary records as required by UAE law to support our compliance history and reduce corporate liability.
​
3. Disclosure and Data Sharing (Necessary Regulatory Disclosure)
​
Your data is considered a protected corporate asset. It is only shared when contractually or legally mandated to deliver the requested Services:
​
-
UAE Government Authorities: Including the Department of Economic Development (DED), Free Zone Authorities, Federal Tax Authority (FTA), and Immigration Departments. This is non-negotiable for company registration and visa processing.
-
Financial Institutions: Banks and payment gateways, but only for the purpose of corporate or personal bank account establishment on your behalf.
-
Professional Partners: Auditors, notaries, or legal counsel involved directly in your specific engagement, acting under strict non-disclosure agreements.
-
Legal Necessity: If legally compelled by a court order or regulatory requirement to disclose data.
​
We do not sell or lease your Personal or Business Data to third parties for marketing purposes.
​
4. Data Storage, Transfer, and Security Protocols
​
-
Storage: Data is primarily stored and processed within the United Arab Emirates, leveraging secure, accredited infrastructure necessary for handling sensitive regulatory documents.
-
Retention: We retain data for the period necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected (i.e., the duration of the service contract) and for any mandatory period required by UAE commercial and financial laws (typically five to seven years) to facilitate regulatory audits and compliance reviews.
-
Security: We implement robust organizational and technical safeguards, including encryption, access control measures, and regular security audits, to protect your data against unauthorized access, destruction, or disclosure.
​
5. Your Rights and Contact Information
​
You maintain rights over your data, subject to the legal and regulatory constraints imposed by the UAE government regarding retained corporate and visa records.
​
-
Access and Rectification: You can request access to or correction of your Personal Data held by us.
-
Objection/Erasure: Requests for erasure or objection to processing will be reviewed against our mandatory regulatory retention obligations.
