Privacy Policy

How we handle and protect your data.

Last updated: April 2026

1. Introduction

EMQS ("we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy informs you how we collect, use, process, and protect your personal data when you visit our website, apply for a position, or interact with our services, in accordance with the United Arab Emirates Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (PDPL) and other applicable regulations within the Emirate of Dubai.

2. Data Controller

EMQS, headquartered in Dubai, UAE, is the data controller responsible for your personal data. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our data protection practices, please contact us using the details set out in Section 10 below.

3. The Data We Collect

We may collect, use, store, and transfer different kinds of personal data about you, which we have grouped as follows:

  • Identity Data: First name, last name, preferred name, and title.
  • Contact Data: Email address, telephone numbers, country of residence, and messaging app preferences (e.g., WhatsApp, Telegram).
  • Professional Data: Resume/CV, employment history, educational background, portfolio links, LinkedIn profile, and notice period.
  • Technical Data: Internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system, and platform.
  • Usage Data: Information about how you use our website and services.

4. How We Use Your Data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Recruitment: To assess your suitability for roles, communicate with you regarding your application, and manage our hiring process.
  • Legitimate Interests: Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party), and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
  • Legal Obligation: Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation under UAE law.

5. Data Sharing and International Transfers

We may share your personal data with internal departments, affiliated entities, and trusted third-party service providers (such as HR management systems and IT infrastructure providers) who require the data to perform their functions. Because we operate internationally, your personal data may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the United Arab Emirates. We ensure that any such transfers comply with the UAE PDPL by implementing appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses or ensuring the destination jurisdiction has adequate data protection laws.

6. Data Security

We have put in place appropriate technical and organizational security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. Access to your personal data is restricted to employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a strict business need to know and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

7. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. If your application is unsuccessful, we may retain your Professional and Identity Data for up to 12 months for future recruitment opportunities, unless you explicitly request its deletion.

8. Your Legal Rights

Under the UAE PDPL, you have specific rights regarding your personal data, including the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data.
  • Request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data.
  • Request erasure of your personal data.
  • Object to or restrict the processing of your personal data.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to another party (data portability).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Privacy Policy and any disputes or claims arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Emirate of Dubai and the applicable federal laws of the United Arab Emirates. The courts of Dubai shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of this Policy.
