Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

1. Introduction

Mehermedics International Recruitment ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect your personal information when you use our website and services.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including when you register, apply for a job, submit a contact form, or correspond with us. This may include your name, email address, phone number, qualifications, work history, CV and uploaded documents, country of residence and licensing details.

We also collect certain technical information automatically, such as IP address, browser type, device identifiers and pages viewed to help operate and improve the site.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

• Facilitate recruitment and placement services, process applications and communicate with candidates and partners.
• Perform identity and credential verification where necessary for placement and regulatory compliance.
• Improve and personalise our website and services, including analytics and diagnostics.
• Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests from public authorities.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable, our processing is based on your consent, on performance of a contract (for recruitment services), on legitimate interests (improving and securing our services), or where we are required by law to process data.

5. Disclosure of Information

We may share personal information with:

• Partner employers and placement agencies strictly for recruitment and placement purposes.
• Third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf (hosting, analytics, email delivery), subject to confidentiality obligations.
• Legal and regulatory authorities where required by law or to protect our rights.

6. International Transfers

Because we work across multiple countries, personal data may be transferred and processed outside your country of residence. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards (standard contractual clauses or equivalent) to protect your personal information.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data against unauthorized access, accidental loss or destruction. These measures include encryption for data in transit, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure; if you have concerns, please contact us at [email protected].

8. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described, generally up to 24 months for candidate records, unless a longer retention is required by law. If you wish us to delete your data sooner, contact [email protected] and we will review your request.

9. Cookies and Tracking

We use essential session cookies required for site functionality. We may also use analytics cookies for performance monitoring. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies by default. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including access, correction, deletion, data portability, and restriction of processing. To exercise your rights, contact [email protected]. We will respond within the timescales required by applicable law.

11. Children

Our services are not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

12. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will publish the updated version on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
