Privacy Policy

Our commitment to your data

 

 

 

Our Commitment to PLD Compliance

​

In alignment with UAE federal law and the regulations of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), we are legally required to adhere to strict Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CFT) protocols. These protocols are part of a broader framework known as Preventive and Protective Due Diligence (PPD), or more commonly, PLD (Preventive and Protective Due Diligence).

Our commitment to PLD is a commitment to a secure and transparent recruitment process for all our clients and candidates. This is a standard and mandatory procedure for all professional services firms operating in the region.

​

Why PLD is Necessary

 


The primary purpose of PLD is to prevent financial crime by ensuring the legitimacy and integrity of all parties involved in a business transaction. As a professional services firm, we act as a gatekeeper, and our PLD obligations are designed to protect you, our clients, and the financial ecosystem of the UAE.

​

PLD Requirements for Candidates

 


As a mandatory part of our registration and placement process, all candidates must undergo a due diligence check. This is not a reflection of your personal status but a legal requirement for us to verify your identity and background.

To complete your PLD check, we will require the following documentation and information:

A clear copy of your valid passport.

A copy of your current residency visa and Emirates ID, if you are a current resident of the UAE.

Additional verification documents may be requested based on specific client or regulatory requirements.

​

Our Due Diligence Process

​


Upon receiving your documents, we will conduct a confidential and comprehensive check which includes:

Identity Verification: Confirming the validity of your provided identification documents.

Sanctions Screening: Cross-referencing your name against international sanctions lists (e.g., UN, OFAC).

Politically Exposed Person (PEP) Screening: Determining if you hold or have held a public function that poses a higher risk of corruption.

This process is conducted with the utmost care and confidentiality.

​

Data Protection and Confidentiality

​


We understand and respect the importance of your personal data. All information you provide for our PLD checks is handled with the highest level of security and confidentiality. Our procedures are in compliance with strict data protection regulations within the UAE, including those of the DIFC and ADGM, which align closely with European standards. Your data will be used solely for the purpose of regulatory compliance and will not be shared with unauthorized third parties.

​

Cooperation is Key


Your full cooperation with our PLD process is essential and legally required for us to provide our services. Failure to provide the necessary information or documentation may prevent us from moving forward with your registration and placement.

We thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work together to maintain a secure and compliant business environment.
