Our website uses cookies to enhance user experience and gather analytics data. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use:

  • Essential cookies — necessary for the website to function correctly
  • Analytics cookies — to understand how visitors use the site and improve performance

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality. 

Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this policy, or as required by applicable law. Enquiry data is typically retained for up to 24 months. Client data is retained in accordance with UAE legal and regulatory requirements, which may extend this period.

Data Security and Breach Notification
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or loss. These include secure data storage, restricted access, and encrypted communications where applicable.

However, no method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you share information with us at your own risk.

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to affect the privacy, confidentiality, or security of your data, we will notify the UAE Data Office promptly in accordance with Article 9 of the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021. Where the breach poses a high risk to your rights or privacy, we will also notify you directly, describing the nature of the breach, its likely consequences, and the steps we have taken or intend to take to address it.

Your Rights
Depending on your country of residence, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access — the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Correction — the right to request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Erasure — the right to request deletion of your data, subject to legal obligations
  • Restriction — the right to request that we limit how we process your data
  • Objection — the right to object to certain uses of your data
  • Portability — the right to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@stratigoadvisory.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.

International Data Transfers
As we serve clients across multiple jurisdictions — including the UK, Europe, and Asia — your personal data may be transferred to, processed in, or stored in countries outside the UAE.

In accordance with UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021, we only transfer personal data outside the UAE where:

  • The destination country provides an adequate level of data protection as recognised by the UAE Data Office; or
  • Appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or binding agreements with the receiving party; or
  • You have provided explicit consent to the transfer after being informed of the associated risks.

Where we engage third-party service providers located outside the UAE (such as cloud hosting or email platforms), we ensure appropriate data processing agreements are in place to protect your information.

Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
This Privacy Policy is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Arab Emirates, including Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (PDPL).

Please note: Stratigo Advisory FZ LLC is registered as a free zone entity. Depending on the jurisdiction of the free zone, additional or alternative data protection regulations may apply alongside the federal PDPL. If you have questions about which framework applies to your data, please contact us directly.

If you are located in the European Union or the United Kingdom, additional rights under the GDPR or UK GDPR may apply to you. We are committed to honoring those rights where they are applicable.
