Merritt Legal Consultants FZ LLC is registered with Fujairah Creative City – Media Free Zone, UAE, under Licence No. 20256/2025.

For questions about your personal data, please contact info@merritt-legal.com.

Information you provide

When you contact us by email, telephone or WhatsApp, we receive the information you choose to provide, including your name, contact details and the contents of your enquiry.

Please keep your initial enquiry brief. Avoid sending identification documents, confidential documents or sensitive personal information until we have confirmed what is needed and how it should be provided.

How we use your information

We use your information to respond to your enquiry, discuss the assistance you need and, where agreed, provide legal consulting services.

Depending on the circumstances, processing is based on your consent, steps you request before entering into an engagement, performance of our engagement or applicable legal obligations. Sending an enquiry does not authorise unrelated marketing.

Service providers and disclosure

Website hosting, email and communication providers may process personal data when delivering their services. Information may also be disclosed where necessary to meet a legal obligation or to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

Contacting Merritt Legal Consultants does not, by itself, authorise sharing your enquiry with other Merritt companies for their own purposes.

International processing

Email and communication services may involve processing outside the UAE. International transfers are subject to the requirements and safeguards of applicable data protection law. You may contact us for information about the providers and arrangements relevant to your enquiry.

Retention

We retain enquiry information for as long as necessary to handle your request and any resulting engagement. Further retention may be required by applicable law or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal rights. The relevant period depends on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it is held.

Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request information about the processing of your personal data, access to it, correction, erasure, restriction of processing or data portability. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent without affecting processing already lawfully carried out.

Please send requests or privacy complaints to info@merritt-legal.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding. You may also raise a complaint with the competent data protection authority.

Third-party services

If you choose to use WhatsApp or a booking service linked in our communications, that provider also processes information under its own privacy policy. Please review that policy before using the service.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes to our services or data handling. The date above indicates the latest revision.
