Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

LeadingZone Consultancy (“LeadingZone”, “we”, “us”) is a private business setup and corporate services consultancy operating in the United Arab Emirates. This policy explains how we handle personal information collected through www.leadingzone.ae and through enquiries made to us.

For any privacy question, or to exercise a right described below, contact us at info@leadingzone.ae.

2. Information we collect

We collect personal information in two ways.

Information you give us

When you complete the enquiry form, email us, message us on WhatsApp or call us, you may provide:

• Your name and country of residence
• Your email address and phone or WhatsApp number
• Details of the business you intend to establish or operate
• The service you are interested in and any indicative budget
• Any further information you choose to include in correspondence with us

If you go on to engage us, we will separately collect the documentation required to progress your application — which may include identity documents, proof of address and corporate records. That information is handled under the engagement terms agreed with you.

Information collected automatically

This website is a static site and does not require you to create an account or log in. Our hosting provider may record standard technical information such as IP address, browser type and pages requested, for security and performance purposes. If analytics or advertising tools are added to the site in future, this policy will be updated to say so before they are enabled.

3. How the enquiry form works

The enquiry form on our contact page does not transmit anything to a server. Completing it opens your own email client or WhatsApp with the message pre-filled, and nothing is sent until you choose to send it. The information stays in your browser until that point.

4. How we use your information

We use personal information to:

• Respond to your enquiry and provide the consultation you requested
• Prepare proposals, quotations and scope documents
• Deliver the services you engage us for
• Prepare and submit applications to the relevant authorities, free zone bodies, banks and service providers on your instruction
• Meet our own legal, regulatory and record-keeping obligations
• Communicate with you about your active matters

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

5. Sharing your information

We may share information where necessary to deliver a service, including with:

• Government departments, licensing authorities and free zone authorities, where required to progress an application you have instructed us to make
• Banks and financial institutions, in connection with an account application
• Registered agents, translators, typing centres, attestation services and similar providers engaged to complete a specific step
• Professional advisers — for example a lawyer, auditor or licensed tax agent — where you have asked us to work alongside them
• Authorities or regulators where we are legally required to disclose information

6. Retention

We keep enquiry correspondence for as long as needed to respond and for a reasonable period afterwards. Where you engage us, records relating to that engagement are kept for as long as required to deliver the service and to meet applicable legal, regulatory and record-keeping obligations, after which they are deleted or anonymised.

7. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please avoid sending sensitive documents over unencrypted channels where an alternative is available.

8. International transfers

We are based in the United Arab Emirates. If you contact us from another country, your information will be processed in the UAE and may be handled by service providers located elsewhere. Where that happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure an appropriate level of protection.

9. Your rights

Subject to the law that applies to you, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to have inaccurate information corrected, to request deletion, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To make a request, email info@leadingzone.ae. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we will respond within the period required by applicable law.

10. Cookies

This website does not set advertising or tracking cookies. Essential technical storage may be used by the hosting platform to serve the site. If cookies are introduced in future, we will update this policy and provide a means of managing your preferences.

11. Third-party links

This website may link to external sites, including WhatsApp and social media platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those services, and we recommend reviewing their own policies.

12. Children

Our services are directed at businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
