1. About this policy
Recruitify Technology Solutions ("Recruitify", "we", "our" or "us") is a specialist technology recruitment consultancy headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect personal data when you visit our website, register as a candidate, submit a CV, enquire about hiring or otherwise engage with our services across the UAE and the wider GCC.
We comply with the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (PDPL) and other applicable data protection regulations across the GCC region.

- Professional data: CV, employment history, qualifications, certifications, salary expectations and notice period.
- Right-to-work data: residency status, visa information and references where relevant to a role.
- Diversity data (only where voluntarily provided and lawful to process).

2.3 Website data

3. How we use your information
- To match candidates with suitable technology roles across the GCC.
- To submit shortlists and applications to prospective employers, with your prior consent.
- To respond to hiring enquiries and provide recruitment services to clients.
- To send relevant role alerts, market insights and career updates (you can opt out at any time).
- To comply with legal, regulatory and contractual obligations.
4. Lawful basis for processing
We rely on the following lawful bases: your consent (e.g. to submit your CV to a client), the performance of a contract (e.g. delivering a search assignment), our legitimate interests (operating a recruitment business responsibly) and compliance with legal obligations.
5. Sharing your information
We share personal data only with: (a) prospective employers, with your prior consent for each specific role; (b) trusted service providers (e.g. secure cloud hosting, applicant tracking, email infrastructure) bound by confidentiality and data processing agreements; and (c) competent authorities where required by law.
We do not sell your personal data and we do not share your CV with any client without your express, role-specific consent.
6. International transfers
Some of our service providers may process data outside the UAE. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards including standard contractual clauses and adequacy assessments aligned to the PDPL and applicable GCC requirements.
7. Data retention
We retain candidate records for up to 24 months after your last meaningful interaction with us, unless a longer period is required by law or you ask us to remove your data sooner. Client records are retained for the duration of the engagement and a reasonable period thereafter for legal, tax and audit purposes.
8. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access, correct, update, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, please email info@recruitify.ae. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
9. Data security
We apply industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect personal data — including encryption in transit, access controls, audit logging, vendor due diligence and staff training. No system is 100% secure; if we become aware of a personal data breach affecting you, we will notify you and the relevant regulator as required by law.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Material changes will be communicated via our website and, where appropriate, by email.
