• Legal obligation: Compliance with tax, accounting, anti-money-laundering, and other applicable legal requirements

You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell personal information. We share it only in the following limited circumstances:

• Corporate transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets, personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

6. International Data Transfers

Because we operate from the United Arab Emirates and serve clients globally, personal data may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in countries other than your own — including the UAE, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Where we transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area or the UK, we put appropriate safeguards in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms recognised under applicable law.
