TLB operates using personnel, contractors and technology service providers that may be located in or provide support from countries outside the UAE.
Where personal data is transferred outside the UAE, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the transfer is permitted under applicable law and that appropriate safeguards are used to protect the information.
We use reasonable organisational, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal data from accidental loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
These safeguards may include access controls, password protection, multi-factor authentication, secure cloud storage, encryption, system monitoring, backups and staff confidentiality requirements.
No electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If we become aware of a personal-data breach, we will investigate and take the actions required under applicable law.
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and professional obligations.
Retention periods may vary according to the nature of the information and the services provided. When personal data is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete, destroy or anonymise it, unless continued retention is required or permitted by law.
Where permitted, we may use your contact details to send professional updates, newsletters, event invitations and information about TLB services.
You may opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe option in an email or contacting us. Opting out of marketing will not prevent us from sending communications necessary to respond to an enquiry or provide services.
