Data protection policies (privacy and cookie policy)
We develop customized Privacy Policies, Cookie Policies, and Data Protection frameworks to ensure full compliance with DIFC DPL, ADGM DPR and UAE PDPL requirements. Our specialized documents clearly communicate your data practices while protecting you from compliance risks.
Key Features:
✔ Customized for your industry and data flows
✔ Compliant cookie consent mechanisms
✔ Regular updates for changing regulations
✔ Clear, user-friendly transparency
Policies that match what you actually do
A privacy policy is a legal commitment about how you handle personal data. If it is copied from a template, or no longer reflects your real practices, it creates risk rather than reducing it. We write and review privacy notices, cookie policies and internal data protection policies that are accurate for your business and aligned with the laws that apply to you.
Documents we prepare and review
- Website and customer privacy notices: what you collect, why, how long you keep it, who you share it with and how people can exercise their rights
- Cookie policy and consent wording: matched to the cookies and trackers your website actually uses
- Employee and candidate privacy notices: for HR data
- Internal data protection policy: the rules your staff follow when handling personal data
- Data retention schedule: how long each type of data is kept and when it is deleted
- Data subject request procedure: a step-by-step process for access, correction and deletion requests
- Breach response procedure: who does what when an incident occurs, linked to our incident management support
- Acceptable-use and AI-use policies: for staff using tools such as generative AI, in line with our AI governance service
Laws these documents are aligned to
UAE PDPL, DIFC DPL, ADGM DPR, KSA PDPL, GDPR and UK GDPR, depending on where you operate and whose data you handle. Each has its own transparency requirements, such as the information that must be given to individuals and the way consent must be obtained. Where more than one applies, we build documents that satisfy them together instead of producing separate versions for each. This page is general information, not legal advice.
How we work
- Understand the reality: we review your data flows, website, forms and vendors.
- Draft: we write the documents in clear language tailored to your business.
- Review with your team: we check accuracy with the people who run the processes.
- Publish and implement: we help you deploy them, including the website and cookie banner set-up.
- Keep them current: we review them when your business, vendors or the law change.
Frequently asked questions
Can we just use a template privacy policy?
A template is a starting point at best. It rarely matches your real data flows, and an inaccurate policy can itself be a compliance failure. We tailor the document to what you do.
Do we need a separate cookie policy?
If your website uses cookies or similar trackers beyond those strictly necessary, you generally need to explain them and, depending on the law, obtain consent. We align the policy and the banner to your actual cookies.
How often should policies be updated?
At least annually, and whenever you add a new service, system, vendor, market or type of data.
Do you also help us put the policies into practice?
Yes. Policies only work if people follow them, so we also provide training and can act as your outsourced DPO. Related: data protection agreements and our UAE and regional compliance service.
