Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 20 January 2026
Wasel & Wasel (collectively “Wasel & Wasel”, “we”, or “our”) is committed to protecting the personal information we collect while providing legal and consultancy services.
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal data when you interact with our websites, mobile apps, and digital communications (“Digital Services”). Note that data collected during client representation is governed primarily by our client engagement agreements and professional confidentiality obligations, not this general policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect personal information in three ways:
Information You Provide: When you register for events, subscribe to newsletters (e.g., our “Intelligence” or “Briefs”), or contact us directly. This typically includes your name, job title, company, email, phone number, and any dietary or accessibility requirements for events.
Automated Information: When you use our Digital Services, we may automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and browsing activity (e.g., pages viewed) via cookies. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Third-Party Sources: We may receive limited data from public sources (e.g., LinkedIn), business partners, or analytics providers to verify contact details or improve our services.
2. How We Use Your Information
We process your data for specific business purposes, including:
Providing legal and non-legal consultancy services.
Responding to inquiries and managing client relationships.
Sending legal updates, reports, and event invitations (marketing).
Improving the functionality and security of our Digital Services.
Complying with legal and regulatory obligations (e.g., anti-money laundering checks).
3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We generally only share data with:
Affiliates: Other Wasel & Wasel entities globally (e.g., in D.C., Melbourne, Toronto, DIFC, ADGM) for internal administration and service delivery.
Service Providers: Vetted third parties who assist us with IT support, event hosting, or email marketing.
Legal Authorities: When required by law, court order, or to protect our rights.
International Transfers: As an international firm, we may transfer your data to offices or servers in other countries. We ensure these transfers comply with applicable data protection laws (including GDPR and UAE Data Protection Law) through appropriate safeguards like standard contractual clauses.
4. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location (e.g., EU, UK, UAE, Canada, US), you may have rights to:
Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
Object to processing or withdraw consent (e.g., unsubscribing from marketing).
Request a copy of your data (portability).
To exercise these rights or opt-out of marketing, please contact us at admin@waselandwasel.com or use the “unsubscribe” link in our emails.
5. Security and Retention
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access. We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined here or to comply with legal retention periods.
6. Updates and Contact
We may update this policy periodically. The latest version will always be posted here.
