Privacy notice

This site sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and collects nothing from visitors automatically. The only personal data handled is whatever you choose to put in an email to [email protected]. The full notice below sets out how that correspondence is treated under UAE law.

The data controller for personal data processed in connection with the site is Fourteen12 International, FZCO. Particulars are reproduced on the Legal Notice for cross-reference.

Only what you choose to disclose by emailing the address above. In ordinary correspondence this typically consists of:

Contact

The email address you write from. A telephone number if you choose to share one.

Content

The substance of your enquiry, including any documents you attach.

Context

Any commercial detail you provide about the matter, opportunity, or transaction in question.

The site itself does not place cookies, does not run a web analytics package, does not embed advertising pixels, and does not load any third-party tracking script. No data is collected from your visit.

Personal data received in correspondence is processed on the following bases, in line with UAE Federal Decree-Law 45/2021 on Personal Data Protection:

Legitimate interest

Replying to your enquiry and conducting ordinary business correspondence.

Contractual necessity

Steps taken at your request prior to, or in connection with, an agreement.

Records of completed transactions

Personal data is not sold or shared for marketing purposes. Disclosure to a third party is made only where it is reasonably necessary in connection with the matter you have raised, namely:

Professional advisers

Transaction counterparties

Banks, lenders, or other financial parties involved in a specific transaction you have raised with us.

Authorities

The UAE Federal Tax Authority, DIEZA, and other UAE regulators where disclosure is legally required.

Processing takes place primarily within the United Arab Emirates. Where correspondence requires sharing with advisers or counterparties in another jurisdiction, appropriate safeguards are applied in line with the requirements of the UAE personal data law.

You may, in respect of the personal data we hold about you, exercise the rights set out at Article 13 of UAE Federal Decree-Law 45/2021, including access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent where consent was relied on. Requests are made to [email protected] and are answered within thirty days.

Transit is encrypted. Correspondence is held on professional mail infrastructure, with access restricted to those acting for the company. Reasonable technical and organisational measures are taken; no system of communication is wholly free of risk.

If you believe personal data has been mishandled, raise the matter first to [email protected]. You also retain the right to complain to the UAE Data Office (u.ae) and, where applicable, the data protection authority of your jurisdiction of residence.

This notice may be revised from time to time. The issue date at the head of the document reflects the current version. Material changes affecting how personal data is handled will be communicated where appropriate.
