Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Company Formation UAE ("we", "us", "our") publishes independent guides and free planning tools about setting up a company in the United Arab Emirates. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use this website, why we collect it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

Information you give us directly

When you use one of our free tools (the Cost Calculator, Free Zone Finder, or Document Checklist) or submit a form to request a consultation, we may collect the details you enter — for example your name, email address, phone number, and the answers you give about your planned business activity. Submitting these forms is always optional; the guides on this site can be read without providing any personal information.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our server and analytics tools automatically log certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, and how you arrived at the site. We use Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit) for this purpose.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies to keep the site working correctly (for example, remembering your progress through a multi-step tool) and to power analytics. You can disable cookies at any time through your browser settings; doing so may affect how some interactive tools behave.

2. How We Use Your Information

To calculate and display the results of our free planning tools;
To respond to a consultation request you have submitted, including passing your enquiry to our referral partner where you have asked to be connected with one;
To understand which guides are useful and to improve the accuracy and clarity of our content;
To maintain the security and technical performance of the site.

3. When We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only in the following limited circumstances:

With our referral partner. This site is editorially independent, but several tools and articles link to e.zone, a UAE business-setup advisory firm, for readers who want a paid consultation. If you click through and submit your own details on their site, or ask us to pass along a consultation request, that information is shared with e.zone under their own privacy policy.
With service providers. Tools such as our web host, form handler (WPForms), and analytics provider (Google) process data on our behalf to keep the site running.
Where required by law. We may disclose information if legally required to do so.

This site is an independent publisher and is not a licensed corporate service provider, a law firm, or a government entity. We do not process UAE company incorporation applications ourselves.

4. Data Retention

We keep form submissions only as long as needed to respond to your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping, after which they are deleted. Aggregated analytics data may be retained longer in a form that does not identify you individually.

5. Your Rights

You can ask us to tell you what personal data we hold about you, correct it, or delete it, by contacting us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

6. Third-Party Links

Our articles link to external resources, including UAE government portals and e.zone. Once you leave this site, that third party's own privacy policy applies — we are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites we link to.

7. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for business owners and professionals. It is not directed at, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, anyone under the age of 18.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our tools or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the current version.
