5. Your CV and Candidate Profile

CareerDubai.com gives candidates the opportunity to submit a CV either in connection with a specific vacancy or for consideration for current and future employment opportunities.

Your CV and candidate information may be stored in our recruitment database and made accessible to authorised CareerDubai.com personnel for legitimate recruitment purposes.

Submitting your CV for one particular position does not necessarily mean that we will consider your information only for that vacancy.

Where permitted by applicable law, we may retain and review your candidate profile for other positions that we reasonably believe may be relevant to your qualifications, professional experience, skills, location, seniority and employment preferences.

We may contact you regarding such opportunities.

You may provide CareerDubai.com with an updated CV at any time. Where appropriate, we may update or archive previous versions of your CV or candidate profile.

You may also contact us to request correction, updating or, where applicable, deletion of information associated with your candidate profile.

6. Sharing Candidate Information With Employers

A central part of CareerDubai.com's recruitment service is identifying and introducing suitable candidates to employers.

Where appropriate in connection with an employment opportunity or recruitment assignment, we may disclose relevant candidate information to clients and prospective employers.

Information shared may include:

  • your CV or résumé
  • professional experience and employment history
  • education and qualifications
  • professional skills
  • compensation information or expectations
  • notice period and availability
  • location and mobility information
  • visa or work-authorisation information where relevant
  • recruiter assessments or professional observations
  • other information reasonably relevant to the recruitment process

We seek to disclose candidate information only where there is a legitimate recruitment purpose.

A prospective employer that receives your information may process that information independently for its own recruitment and employment purposes. Such an employer may be independently responsible for complying with applicable privacy and data-protection requirements.

We encourage candidates to review an employer's privacy information where appropriate.

7. Service Providers and Other Third Parties

CareerDubai.com may use trusted third-party service providers to help us operate our business, website, technology and recruitment services.

Depending on the services we use, these providers may include:

  • website and cloud-hosting providers
  • recruitment and applicant-tracking systems
  • customer relationship management systems
  • email and communications providers
  • data analytics providers
  • cybersecurity and information-security providers
  • document and data-storage providers
  • reference and background-check providers
  • qualification-verification providers
  • skills-testing or candidate-assessment providers
  • professional advisers, including accountants, auditors and legal advisers
  • other technology and operational service providers

These parties may process personal information where necessary to provide services to CareerDubai.com.

Where appropriate, we require service providers that process personal information on our behalf to maintain suitable confidentiality, security and data-protection measures.

We may also disclose personal information to government bodies, courts, regulators, law-enforcement agencies or other competent authorities where required or permitted by applicable law.

8. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable data-protection law requires us to identify a legal basis for processing personal information, CareerDubai.com may rely on one or more of the following grounds.

Contractual Necessity

Processing may be necessary to provide services you have requested, perform our contractual obligations or take steps at your request before entering into a contractual relationship.

Legitimate Interests

We may process personal information where necessary for the legitimate interests of CareerDubai.com, our clients or another party, provided those interests are not overridden by applicable rights and interests.

Our legitimate interests may include:

  • providing effective recruitment services
  • identifying and matching candidates with relevant employment opportunities
  • maintaining relationships with candidates and clients
  • responding to enquiries and requests
  • operating and improving CareerDubai.com
  • maintaining and improving our recruitment technology and processes
  • protecting our website, systems, users and business
  • preventing fraud and misuse
  • understanding and improving the effectiveness of our services
  • operating our business efficiently and appropriately

Legal Obligations

We may process or disclose personal information where necessary to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

Consent

In circumstances where consent is required or appropriate, we may ask for your consent to process personal information for a particular purpose.

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent, subject to applicable law, by contacting us at privacy@careerdubai.com.

9. Artificial Intelligence and Recruitment Technology

CareerDubai.com may use artificial intelligence, automation and other technology-assisted tools to support our recruitment professionals in searching, organising, analysing and identifying candidate profiles that may be relevant to employment opportunities.

These tools may analyse job-related information such as:

  • professional skills
  • employment history
  • qualifications
  • industry and functional experience
  • seniority
  • current and previous job titles
  • location and mobility preferences
  • languages
  • years or types of experience
  • other objective information relevant to a vacancy or recruitment search

Technology-assisted tools may help our recruitment team search, match, organise or prioritise potentially relevant candidate profiles.

The use of such technology may therefore influence which candidate profiles are identified or prioritised for review in connection with a particular search.

CareerDubai.com does not rely solely on an AI system to make final hiring decisions on behalf of employers. Technology may assist our recruitment process, but candidate suitability and recruitment recommendations involve human oversight and review. The ultimate decision regarding whether to interview, select or employ a candidate remains with the relevant employer.

We aim to use recruitment technology responsibly and apply appropriate human oversight, information-security and data-protection safeguards.

10. Job Alerts and Recruitment Communications

If you register for job alerts or otherwise request information regarding employment opportunities, CareerDubai.com may use your contact details and professional preferences to notify you about vacancies and recruitment-related information.

We may also contact candidates already registered with CareerDubai.com about employment opportunities that we reasonably believe could be relevant to their professional experience, qualifications or preferences.

We may send recruitment-related information, market updates or other relevant communications where permitted by applicable law.

You may unsubscribe from marketing communications or job alerts at any time by using the unsubscribe facility contained in the relevant email or by contacting privacy@careerdubai.com.

Communications concerning an active job application, candidate relationship, enquiry or recruitment process may constitute service communications rather than marketing communications.

11. International Transfers of Personal Information

CareerDubai.com operates in an international recruitment environment and may work with candidates, employers, clients and service providers located in different countries.

As a result, your personal information may in certain circumstances be accessed, transferred, processed or stored outside the country in which you reside or originally provided the information.

For example, candidate information may be provided to a prospective employer located in another country where you have expressed an interest in an international employment opportunity or where the nature of the recruitment assignment reasonably requires such processing.

Our technology and service providers may also process or store information in different countries.

Where required by applicable law, CD HR Solutions FZE will take appropriate measures designed to ensure that international transfers of personal information are subject to suitable safeguards.

12. How Long We Keep Your Information

CareerDubai.com retains personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate recruitment, business, legal and regulatory purposes.

Recruitment relationships may continue over a number of years. Candidates who are not suitable for one vacancy may be suitable for another opportunity in the future. We may therefore retain candidate profiles and CVs so that we can provide ongoing recruitment services and contact candidates regarding future employment opportunities.

The period for which information is retained may depend on factors including:

  • the nature of our relationship with you
  • whether you remain an active candidate or client
  • the nature of the information
  • the purposes for which the information was collected
  • whether we reasonably expect to have an ongoing recruitment relationship with you
  • legal, regulatory, contractual or accounting requirements
  • the need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims
  • whether continued retention is reasonably necessary for our legitimate business purposes

We may periodically review, update, archive, anonymise or delete personal information that is inaccurate, outdated or no longer reasonably required.

You may contact privacy@careerdubai.com if you would like us to review the personal information we retain about you.

13. Information Security

CD HR Solutions FZE takes reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, unauthorised access and other forms of misuse.

These measures may include appropriate access controls, technical safeguards, internal procedures and restrictions on who may access personal information.

Access to candidate and client information is limited to personnel, contractors and service providers who require access for legitimate recruitment, operational or business purposes.

While we take reasonable steps to protect personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

14. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on the law applicable to you and your personal information, you may have certain rights regarding the information CareerDubai.com holds about you.

These may include the right to:

  • request access to personal information we hold about you
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information
  • request updating of outdated personal information
  • request deletion or erasure of personal information in certain circumstances
  • object to certain processing of your personal information
  • request restriction of processing in certain circumstances
  • withdraw consent where our processing is based on consent
  • object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing
  • request portability of certain personal information where applicable
  • make a complaint to an appropriate data-protection or regulatory authority where applicable

These rights are subject to applicable law and may be subject to conditions, limitations and exceptions.

For example, we may be permitted or required to retain certain information despite a deletion request where retention is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, resolve a dispute, establish or defend a legal claim, prevent fraud or for another lawful purpose.
