We collect the minimum we need to respond to business enquiries — and we never sell it. This policy explains what we collect, why, how long we keep it, and who processes it.
This policy explains what personal data Manualist collects through this website and our contact and audit forms, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and who processes it. We handle personal data in line with the principles of the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and with awareness of the United Arab Emirates Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL).
Manualist is a recruitment consultancy operating in the United Arab Emirates and working with organisations globally. For any privacy question, contact hello@manualist.ai.
When you submit our audit or contact form, we collect the details you provide: your name, work email, company, the size of your Talent Acquisition team, and anything you write in the message field. We also receive standard technical information your browser sends, such as IP address and device or browser type.
Our website forms are processed by Web3Forms, which receives your submission and delivers it to us by email; our email and hosting providers then process the resulting messages. These providers act as our processors and handle your data only to provide their service to us. We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
We use this information to respond to your enquiry, assess whether we are a fit, and discuss a potential engagement. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries and taking steps at your request before entering into a contract.
We keep cookies to a minimum. The site uses only the cookies needed for it to function and, where enabled, privacy-respecting analytics to understand how the site is used. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and you can control or block cookies through your browser settings.
We keep enquiry data only as long as needed for the purpose above — typically up to 24 months after our last contact — unless you ask us to delete it sooner, or we are required to retain it longer to meet a legal obligation.
Because our providers may operate outside your country, your data may be processed internationally. Where that happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure it remains appropriately protected.
Subject to applicable law, you can ask us to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data, and you can object to processing. To exercise any of these, email hello@manualist.ai. You may also raise a concern with your local data protection authority.
