Privacy Policy

How ALC Law & Legal Consulting collects, processes and protects your personal data, and your rights under the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL).

Controller: ALC Law & Legal Consulting, Al Muruj, Riyadh 12281, Saudi Arabia — email Info@alclawfirm.com.sa — phone +966 11 204 0777.

This policy applies to personal data collected through our website and its forms (consultation, case review, contact, careers) and related communication channels. It is issued under Article 12 of the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (Royal Decree M/19 of 9/2/1443H, as amended) and its Implementing Regulations.

1. Data we collect

  • Identity and contact data: name, mobile number, email, organisation and role.
  • Request data: the legal area, the brief description you provide and, where given, the approximate claim value.
  • Recruitment data: CV, professional profile link and cover note (career applications only).
  • Technical data: referring page, device type and campaign identifiers (UTM) where present.

Please do not send documents or sensitive data (such as health or detailed financial data, or data about third parties) through the website forms; documents are requested, when needed, through a secure channel designated by the responsible lawyer.

2. Purposes

  • Reviewing your request and contacting you about it.
  • Providing legal services and managing the engagement once the firm is retained.
  • Considering career and training applications.
  • Meeting legal obligations, including anti-money-laundering requirements and the rules of the legal profession.
  • Improving the website and measuring marketing channels on an aggregated basis.

3. Legal basis

We process your data on the basis of your consent given when submitting a form; to perform a contract with you or take steps at your request before entering into one; to comply with a legal obligation; or for the firm's legitimate interests where these do not override your rights. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.

4. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your data or share it for marketing. We may disclose it, only as necessary, to technical service providers that host the website and operate its forms and email under confidentiality terms; to courts and regulators where the law requires; and to persons you ask us to share it with. Any transfer outside Saudi Arabia is carried out in line with the transfer rules of the PDPL and its Regulations.

5. Retention and destruction

  • Consultation, case-review and contact requests: kept for no more than twelve months after the last contact, unless an engagement follows, in which case professional file-retention rules apply.
  • Career applications: kept for no more than twelve months and then destroyed, unless you agree to remain in our talent pool.
  • Technical statistics: kept in aggregated, non-identifying form.

When the purpose or period ends, data is securely destroyed or anonymised.

6. Your rights

Under the PDPL you have the right to be informed of the basis and purpose of collection; to access your data and obtain a copy; to request correction, completion or updating; to request destruction when the data is no longer needed; and to withdraw consent. Requests may be sent to Info@alclawfirm.com.sa; we respond within the periods set by the Implementing Regulations after verifying the requester's identity.

7. Security

We apply appropriate organisational and technical measures against unauthorised access, disclosure or alteration, including encrypted connections, restricted access to requests, and the professional duty of confidentiality binding all staff under the Law of Practice of Law.

8. Cookies and analytics

The website uses cookies necessary for its operation and aggregated analytics tools (such as Google Analytics). You may disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings without affecting your use of the site.

9. Contact and complaints

For any question, request or complaint about your personal data: Info@alclawfirm.com.sa — +966 11 204 0777. If your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may raise it with the competent data-protection authority in Saudi Arabia (SDAIA).

10. Updates

We may update this policy when laws or our practices change; the current version is published on this page with its last-updated date. Last updated: 22 October 2026.
