Integrity Chartered Auditors and Accountants
Statutory Governance & Confidentiality

Privacy & Data Protection Policy

At Integrity Chartered Auditors and Accountants, professional discretion, strict client confidentiality, and data protection are fundamental tenets of our chartered practice. This policy articulates how we process, protect, and respect your personal information and online privacy.

Section 1

Statutory & Professional Framework

Our data processing practices adhere strictly to UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (PDPL), as well as the ethical confidentiality and professional independence standards established under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 32 of 2021 on Commercial Companies and International Standards on Auditing (ISA).

As licensed chartered auditors, all client information, financial disclosures, and communications received in the course of our professional engagements are protected by rigorous professional privilege and statutory confidentiality requirements.

Section 2

Information Collected via Website Forms

When you submit a consultation request, request a fee proposal, or contact our practice through our website, we may collect:

  • Contact Details: Full name, professional email address, and direct telephone number.
  • Corporate Context: Legal entity or trade license name and preferred engagement jurisdiction (Mainland, Free Zone, or Offshore).
  • Engagement Scope: Requested practice area (Statutory External Audit, Corporate Tax, VAT, E-Invoicing, or Accounting).

This information is utilized exclusively to evaluate your professional engagement request, formulate proposals, and respond to your direct inquiries. We never sell, lease, or monetize client information, nor do we disclose data to third-party marketing brokers.

Section 3

Google Analytics 4 & Cookie Consent

On our live production website (www.integrityauditors.com), we utilize Google Analytics 4 (Measurement ID: G-E93P0FE4TD) to understand aggregate visitor traffic, popular practice areas, and user journeys.

Strict Privacy Guarantees in Our Analytics Implementation:

  • • Consent First: Google Analytics code is completely blocked from loading until you grant explicit affirmative consent via our cookie notice.
  • • Zero PII Transmission: Conversion events for form submissions record only the category of inquiry (e.g. callback, quote request). Names, telephone numbers, emails, and messages are stripped and never transmitted.
  • • IP Anonymization: IP addresses are masked at collection, preventing individual geographical profiling.
  • • No Third-Party Advertising: We do not deploy remarketing pixels, advertising trackers, or cross-site tracking networks.

Data Security, Storage & Retention

Inquiries transmitted via our digital infrastructure are encrypted in transit using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3). Form submissions are securely cataloged within hardened infrastructure with restricted partner-level administrative credentials.

Statutory audit working papers and engagement records are retained in compliance with the statutory retention periods mandated by the UAE Federal Tax Authority (minimum 5 years for commercial records; 7 years for real estate and capital assets).
