3. How We Use Your Information (Our Legal Basis)

We use your information for the following legitimate business purposes, which are necessary to provide our services to you:

To Provide and Manage Our Services: Creating and managing your account, enabling you to search and apply for jobs, facilitating communication with employers, and sending you job alerts based on your preferences.

Unrestricted Access: All core services—including searching for jobs, submitting applications, and communicating with employers—remain fully accessible whether you choose to interact with advertisements or not.

We value your trust and do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share your information only in the following, limited circumstances:

With Employers: When you apply for a job through our platform, your CV and application details are shared with the respective employer. How they handle your data is governed by their own privacy policies.
With Trusted Service Providers: We may engage third-party companies to assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you (e.g., cloud hosting providers, analytics services). These providers are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and secure, and they can only use it for the specific services they perform for us.
For Legal and Safety Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect and defend our rights or property, prevent fraud, or protect the personal safety of our users or the public.

6. How We Protect Your Data

We implement a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include:

Encryption: Using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
Infrastructure Security: Storing data on secure servers protected by firewalls and intrusion detection systems.
Access Controls: Restricting access to personal data to only those employees, contractors, and agents who need it to perform their jobs and are bound by strict confidentiality obligations.
Regular Audits: Conducting regular security reviews and updates to our practices.

While no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data.

7. International Data Transfers

As an online platform serving a global audience, your information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the one you reside in, including the United Arab Emirates. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.

Regardless of where your information is processed, we take appropriate safeguards to ensure it receives an adequate level of protection as required by applicable law.

Inactive Accounts: If your account is inactive for an extended period, we may delete or anonymize your information.
