PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: 9 July 2026
1. Introduction
Falcon Special Situations Advisory FZE ("Falcon," "we," "us," or "our") is an operational crisis and special-situations advisory firm serving family offices, investors, governments, and industry across the Gulf and beyond. Confidentiality and discretion are fundamental to our work. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal data when you visit falconssa.ae (the "Website") or communicate with us.
2. Who We Are
Falcon Special Situations Advisory FZE is a Free Zone Establishment registered in the United Arab Emirates, with its registered address at Sheikh Rashid Tower, Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. For any privacy-related matters, you may contact us at info@falconssa.ae.
3. The Nature of Our Work and Confidentiality
Because we are engaged on distressed, sensitive, and often time-critical situations — including crisis stabilisation, distressed acquisitions, operational continuity, turnaround and restructuring support, and executive decision support — any enquiry or engagement may involve highly confidential information. Every enquiry is treated in strict confidence. We describe our engagements publicly only in anonymised form, and discretion is treated as part of the work itself.
4. Personal Data We Collect
We collect only the information necessary to respond to enquiries and deliver our services. Through our confidential enquiry form and subsequent correspondence, this may include: your first name, last name, organisation, email address, and any information you choose to include in the message field or share with us thereafter. We may also collect limited technical information automatically when you visit the Website, such as your IP address, browser type, and general usage data, where applicable.
Please do not submit highly sensitive or confidential situational details through the Website enquiry form. Initial enquiries should be brief; sensitive information should be shared only once a secure and appropriate channel has been established.
5. How We Use Your Personal Data
We use personal data to respond to and manage your confidential enquiries, to assess and scope potential engagements, to provide and administer our advisory and crisis-response services, to communicate with you, to maintain our business and engagement records, and to comply with our legal, regulatory, and professional obligations. We process personal data on the basis of your consent, the performance of an engagement or steps taken at your request prior to an engagement, our legitimate business interests, and compliance with applicable law.
6. Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data. Access to your information within Falcon is strictly limited to those who need it to respond to you or to deliver an engagement. Client confidentiality obligations relating to specific engagements are governed by the separate engagement agreement entered into with each client.
7. Disclosure of Personal Data
We may disclose personal data only where necessary: to trusted service providers who support our operations (for example, IT and website hosting providers) under appropriate confidentiality obligations; to members of the engagement team assembled for a specific mandate; to professional advisers; where required by law, regulation, court order, or a competent authority in the United Arab Emirates; or with your consent. Any such disclosure is limited to what is necessary.
8. International and Cross-Border Transfers
Our work is frequently cross-border and regional in nature, and we are based in the United Arab Emirates. Where personal data is transferred outside the UAE (for example, in the course of a cross-border engagement or through service providers hosted abroad), we take reasonable steps to ensure such transfers comply with applicable UAE data protection law, including Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data, and that an adequate level of protection is maintained.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to maintain our business and engagement records, and to comply with legal, regulatory, and professional obligations. When no longer required, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised.
10. Data Security
Given the sensitive nature of our engagements, we implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. While we take security seriously, no method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Your Rights
Subject to applicable UAE law, including Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021, you may have the right to request access to your personal data, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of your data, restrict or object to certain processing, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@falconssa.ae. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.
12. Cookies
The Website may use cookies or similar technologies to enable core functionality and to understand how the Website is used. Where required, we will seek your consent for non-essential cookies. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
13. Third-Party Links and Content
The Website may contain links to third-party websites or content, including materials relating to the book Resilience Under Fire or external retailers offering it. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party websites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
