Candidate data protection
How we collect, use, retain, and protect personal data when you apply for a role at ABD Co. Replace or extend with counsel-approved wording for the UAE and other jurisdictions where you recruit.
Who is responsible
ABD CORPORATE L.L.C-FZ (ABD Co.) is responsible for recruitment data you submit through our site, forms, or email. The hiring manager and HR coordinators access data on a need-to-know basis.
What we collect
- Identity: name, email, phone, location (as you provide)
- Professional: CV, cover letter, portfolio links, compensation expectations if shared
- Process: interview notes, assessment results, reference feedback (where applicable)
- Technical: metadata from email and form submissions (timestamps, IP via form provider)
How we use it
We use your data solely to assess fit, schedule interviews, communicate outcomes, and (with separate consent where required) to keep you in mind for future roles. We do not sell candidate data and we do not use it for unrelated marketing.
Legal basis
Depending on your region, processing may be based on steps prior to a contract, legitimate interest in hiring, or consent where we ask explicitly (e.g. talent pool). We will clarify when required.
Retention
If you are not selected, we typically delete or anonymise application data within twelve to twenty-four months unless a longer period is required by law or you join a talent pool with clear consent and expiry. Hired employee data is governed by employment policies.
Sharing
We may use processors (applicant tracking systems, scheduling tools, form relay services). Those providers process data only on our instructions. Cross-border transfers use appropriate safeguards where required.
Your rights
You may request access, correction, deletion, or restriction where applicable. Contact support@abdcorporate.com or use the form below. Messages go to the same inbox.
