Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Elish Financial Services LLC (“Elish Financial”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information we collect, use and store. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information submitted through this website, by email, telephone or during the course of our regulated introduction and promotion activities.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information such as your name, corporate email address, telephone number, employer or institution, job title, and any other details you choose to provide when requesting an executive briefing, subscribing to updates or otherwise contacting us. We may also collect technical information about your visit to our website, including IP address, browser type and pages viewed, through standard analytics tools.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

• Respond to inquiries and arrange introductory meetings;
• Provide information about our regulated introduction and promotion services;
• Send regulatory updates, market insights and other communications you have requested;
• Comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, including those of the UAE Capital Market Authority (CMA), formerly the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA); and
• Improve our website and visitor experience.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal information with your consent, where processing is necessary to respond to your request or take steps in connection with a service you have requested, where necessary to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, and on any other lawful basis permitted under applicable UAE data-protection legislation.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

5. Introductions and Referrals

Elish Financial Services LLC is licensed by the UAE Capital Market Authority (CMA), formerly the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), to conduct the regulated activities of Introduction and Promotion. Where you ask us to introduce you to a financial services provider, or where you respond to the promotion of a financial product or service, we will share the personal information you have provided (such as your name, corporate email address, telephone number and institution) with the relevant regulated provider so that it may contact you directly. That provider will then process your information as an independent data controller under its own privacy policy and its own regulatory authorisation. We make such referrals only with your consent or at your request. We do not sell your personal information or disclose referral information to third parties for unrelated marketing purposes.

6. International Transfers

Some of our service providers, group support functions or regulated financial services providers may process personal information outside the United Arab Emirates. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take the measures required under applicable UAE data-protection legislation to ensure that it remains appropriately protected.

7. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell personal information. Aside from the introductions described above, we may share information with service providers who assist us in operating our business under appropriate confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation or court order, including to the CMA or other competent authorities.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

9. Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, and to resolve disputes.

10. Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, security and website analytics. Where required, non-essential cookies will be used only after obtaining your consent. Further information about the technologies used, their purposes and how you can manage your preferences is provided through the website’s cookie notice or consent tool.
