What we collect
Information you give us
- Account details — name, email address, password and the role you register under (jobseeker or employer).
- Candidate profile — CV or resume, work history, education, skills, certificates, languages, photograph and contact details, where you choose to provide them.
- Applications — the roles you apply to and anything you submit with an application.
- Employer details — company name, description, logo, website, industry, size and the vacancies you publish.
Information collected automatically
- Log data such as IP address, browser type and pages viewed.
- Cookies and similar technologies used to keep you signed in and to understand how the site is used.
Why we use it
- To operate your account and let you search and apply for roles.
- To share your application and profile with the employer whose vacancy you apply to.
- To let employers publish vacancies and manage the applications they receive.
- To send service messages about your account or applications.
- To detect fraudulent or abusive listings and keep the platform safe.
Who we share it with
Employers. When you apply to a vacancy, the employer that published it receives your application and the profile information attached to it. We cannot control what they then do with it; their own privacy terms apply.
Service providers. Hosting, email delivery and analytics providers acting on our instructions.
Legal requests. Where we are required to disclose information by law or by a competent authority.
We do not sell your personal data.
How long we keep it
We keep your account and profile for as long as your account is open. If you delete your account we remove your profile, though applications already sent to an employer remain with that employer. [CONFIRM RETENTION PERIODS FOR LOGS AND BACKUPS.]
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, object to certain processing, or receive a copy in a portable format. To exercise any of these, email privacy@gulfjobsquare.com.
Security
We use technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections and access controls. No online service can promise perfect security, and you are responsible for keeping your password confidential.
International transfers
Your data may be processed outside the country where you live, including where our hosting providers operate. [SPECIFY HOSTING LOCATION AND TRANSFER SAFEGUARDS.]
Children
This platform is not intended for anyone under the minimum legal working age in their country, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
