Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for processing personal information, we rely on the following:

• Contractual necessity — where processing is required to perform or prepare for an advisory engagement
• Legitimate interests — where we have a legitimate business interest in processing that is not overridden by your rights, including responding to enquiries and maintaining client relationships
• Legal obligation — where processing is required to comply with applicable law
• Consent — where you have provided explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time

We may disclose personal information to:

We do not transfer personal information to third parties outside the scope of an advisory engagement without your knowledge, except as required by law.

6. International Data Transfers

Grand Dominion operates across the UAE, Canada, and the United States. Personal information may be processed in any of these jurisdictions. Where information is transferred from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Canada to a jurisdiction without an equivalent level of data protection, we implement appropriate safeguards including standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms recognised under applicable law.

7. Cookies

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to support basic functionality and to understand how visitors use the Site. We do not use cookies for behavioural advertising or cross-site tracking.

You may configure your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Disabling cookies may affect certain functionality of the Site.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements. For enquiries that do not result in an engagement, we typically retain contact information for no longer than 24 months. For client engagement records, retention periods are determined by applicable professional and legal obligations.
