Last updated: 11 June 2025

AL‑Rehad Consultancy ("AL‑Rehad", "we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit our website or engage our recruitment, immigration, HR consulting, workforce management, and related services (the "Services").

Summary (quick read): We only collect what we need to deliver our Services, keep it secure, do not sell personal data, and share it only with your consent or where necessary (e.g., to potential employers, background screening partners, or when required by law).

Client/employer data: company details, contact information, role briefs, contracts, billing details.
Compliance & verification data: IDs or proof of right‑to‑work (where applicable), results of reference checks, and screening results facilitated by authorized partners.

4) Legal bases (where applicable)

Depending on your location, we rely on one or more of: (i) consent (e.g., when you ask us to share your CV); (ii) contract (to provide Services you request); (iii) legitimate interests (e.g., recruitment operations, site security); and (iv) legal obligation (e.g., KYC/AML, employment, or immigration rules).

5) Sharing your data

With potential employers/clients when you ask us to consider you for a role.
With service providers (e.g., background screening, document attestation, IT/hosting, email, analytics) under confidentiality and data‑processing terms.
For legal/compliance reasons if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
We do not sell personal data.

6) International transfers

We operate in the Gulf region and may transfer personal data across borders as needed to serve you (for example, sharing a candidate profile with a client in another GCC country). Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (contractual protections or equivalent).

7) Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above: typically, for the duration of an active search/engagement and a reasonable period afterward for record‑keeping, legal, and audit requirements. You may ask us to delete your data where applicable (see "Your rights").

8) Your rights

Subject to local laws, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing, and to data portability. You can also withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent. To exercise these rights, email hr@alrehad.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

9) Cookies & analytics

We use limited cookies/analytics to operate and improve the website (e.g., session management, basic usage stats). You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, which may impact site functionality. If you deploy any third‑party tools (e.g., Google Analytics, Meta Pixel), their processing is governed by their own policies.

10) Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11) Children

Our Services are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age required by applicable law. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
