Data Protection and Privacy
Data protection laws place specific obligations on every business that collects or processes personal data. We help technology, healthcare, financial services and retail businesses comply with them, onshore and in the UAE’s financial free zones.
We start by mapping the data a client processes and identifying the regime that applies, then prepare privacy policies, consent notices and data processing agreements, carry out data protection impact assessments, and put in place the safeguards needed for cross-border transfers.
When a breach occurs, the first hours are decisive. We set out the steps to take and the notifications required, and represent the client in any resulting regulatory action or claims.
- Compliance reviews and data mapping
- Privacy policies and consent notices
- Data processing agreements
- Cross-border data transfers
- Data protection impact assessments
- Data breach response
Authorities: the UAE Data Office, and the data protection regulators of ADGM and DIFC.
Who we act for: technology companies, healthcare and financial services providers, retailers and multinational groups.
