This policy explains what personal information Meridian Launch collects when you enquire about company formation, visas or PRO services, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over it.
Last updated — 5 November 2026
Meridian Launch is a UAE business setup consultancy based in Dubai. We advise founders and companies on free zone, mainland and offshore company formation, investor and employment visas, banking introductions and PRO services.
For the purposes of the UK and EU General Data Protection Regulation, we act as the controller of the personal information described in this policy. For enquiries handled on behalf of a licensed free zone authority or government portal, we may act as a processor alongside that authority.
You can reach us about anything in this policy at hello@meridianbiz.ae or on +44 7457 425671.
We only ask for what we need to answer your enquiry and, if you proceed, to file your application.
Directly from you, when you complete a form on this site, message us on WhatsApp, email us or speak to a consultant. Automatically, through the small amount of technical data described above when you browse the site. We do not buy contact lists or enrich your details from third-party data brokers.
We use your information to reply to your enquiry and quote for the services you asked about; to prepare and submit licence, visa and bank applications where you instruct us; to keep records of the advice given and the fees agreed; to meet our legal, accounting and anti-money-laundering obligations; and to improve how the site and our service perform.
Our lawful bases are: taking steps at your request before entering a contract, and performing that contract; our legitimate interests in responding to business enquiries and running our consultancy; compliance with legal obligations, including KYC record-keeping; and your consent where we ask for it, for example for optional marketing updates.
We are based in the United Arab Emirates and work with authorities and providers in the UAE. Where your information is transferred from the UK or European Economic Area to the UAE or another country, we rely on appropriate safeguards — such as standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision where one exists — and keep transfers to what the service requires.
Enquiries that do not become engagements are deleted or anonymised after 24 months. Client files, application records and accounting records are kept for seven years to meet UAE corporate, tax and anti-money-laundering requirements, after which they are securely destroyed.
Subject to the law that applies to you, you can ask us for a copy of your information, correct anything inaccurate, ask us to delete it, restrict or object to how we use it, or ask for it in a portable format. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@meridianbiz.ae. We respond within one month. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to your local regulator — in the UK the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk), in the EU your national data protection authority, or in the UAE the UAE Data Office.
Enquiry data is held in access-controlled systems and shared with consultants on a need-to-know basis. Documents are stored in restricted folders, sent over encrypted channels, and retained only as long as the section above describes.
Our services are for business owners and professionals. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has sent us details, contact us and we will delete them.
We update this policy when our services or the law change. The date at the top shows the latest version, and material changes will be flagged on this page.
Questions about this policy, or a request about your information, can go to hello@meridianbiz.ae or +44 7457 425671. Our office is in Business Bay, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and we answer Sunday to Friday, 9:00–19:00 Gulf time.
