Privacy policy
How 7 Strokes Consultancy collects, uses and protects your personal data. Last updated: 12 November 2026.
Who we are
7 Strokes Consultancy ("7 Strokes", "we", "us") is an accounting, tax and business consultancy based at Office 2405, 24th Floor, Prism Tower, Business Bay, Dubai, UAE. We are responsible for the personal data you share with us through this website, by phone, email, WhatsApp or in person. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. It is written to meet the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021).
What we collect
- Enquiry and chat details: your name, company, email, phone or WhatsApp number, emirate or country, the service you're interested in and your message.
- Client records: if you become a client, the business, financial and identity documents needed to provide our services and meet UAE legal requirements.
- Website usage: the page you arrived on, the website that referred you and campaign tags (such as utm_source or gclid), so we know how you found us.
- Analytics and advertising cookies: only if you accept them (see Cookies below).
We don't ask for sensitive personal data on this website. Please don't send passport, Emirates ID or bank details through the enquiry form or chat.
Why we use it
- To reply to your enquiry and send you a quote.
- To provide accounting, tax, audit, business setup and advisory services you engage us for.
- To meet our legal obligations, for example tax record keeping, FTA filings and anti-money laundering checks.
- To improve our website and measure our advertising, only with your consent.
We use your data because you asked us to (consent), because we need it to deliver a service you requested (contract), because the law requires it (legal obligation), or for our legitimate business interests where these don't override your rights.
Who we share it with
We never sell your personal data. We share it only when needed:
- With UAE authorities such as the Federal Tax Authority, free zone authorities and banks, when you ask us to act for you or the law requires it.
- With service providers who help us run our business, such as our website host, email provider and, if you accept cookies, Google (Analytics and Ads). They may only use your data to provide their service to us.
- With professional advisers or auditors where an engagement requires it.
Data stored outside the UAE
Some of our service providers, including our website host and email provider, may store data on servers outside the UAE. When this happens we use providers that protect your data with appropriate safeguards, as UAE law requires.
How long we keep it
Enquiries that don't lead to an engagement are kept for up to 24 months and then deleted. Client records are kept for as long as UAE law requires, for example at least 5 years for VAT records and 7 years for Corporate Tax records, and then securely deleted.
How we protect it
Our website uses HTTPS encryption. Access to your data is limited to the team handling your account, and we use secure systems and passwords to protect it. No method of sending data over the internet is completely secure, so please contact us by phone if you prefer.
Cookies
This website uses only what it needs to work: your browser's session storage remembers campaign tags during your visit, and local storage remembers your cookie choice. We use Google Analytics and Google Ads cookies only if you click Accept in the cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page.
Your rights
You can ask us to:
- tell you what personal data we hold about you and give you a copy;
- correct data that is wrong or incomplete;
- delete your data, or stop or restrict how we use it, unless the law requires us to keep it;
- send your data to you or another organisation in a common format;
- withdraw your consent at any time, including for marketing and cookies.
Email info@7strokes.com and we'll reply within 30 days. If you're not happy with our answer, you can complain to the UAE Data Office.
Marketing
We only send you news or offers if you've agreed to receive them, and every message includes a way to unsubscribe.
Children
Our services are for businesses. We don't knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.
