As we expand our presence globally, including the United Arab Emirates, we are committed to ensuring our recruitment software complies with all relevant data privacy regulations. This page outlines our alignment with the UAE’s Federal Decree Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (PDPL) and our practices to safeguard user information.
