3. Who This Policy Applies To

3.1 Registered Users

Any individual or organization that creates an account on the Platform, whether as a B2C candidate or a B2B recruiter, employer, or corporate user.

3.2 Non-Registered Individuals — Pre-Registration Data

Important: We may hold data about you before you register. If you have a publicly available professional profile on LinkedIn, job boards, public CV databases, or similar platforms — or if your information appears in datasets provided by our third-party data partners — we may have collected information about your professional qualifications and contact details prior to your registration on our Platform.

This collection is lawful under PDPL Article 15(2), which permits processing of personal data collected from publicly available sources, and on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating a professional recruitment platform.

The data collected from public sources or third-party data partners about non-registered individuals may include: full name, professional title and work history, education and qualifications, skills and certifications, publicly listed contact details, geographic location, and inferred professional characteristics. We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as health information, political affiliation, or religious beliefs) from these sources.

When you register on the Platform, you will be notified that we may already hold public-source or third-party-sourced data about you. By completing registration, you: (a) acknowledge that we may have held such data prior to your registration; (b) confirm your understanding of the lawful basis for such collection; (c) gain immediate rights to view, correct, restrict, or delete any such data; and (d) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, waive any claim, action, or liability against Linkkers arising solely from our pre-registration collection of your publicly available or legitimately sourced professional data.

If you wish to remove your information from our database before registering, contact us at privacy@linkkers.com with the subject line 'Pre-Registration Data Removal'. We will action your request within 15 calendar days.

3.3 B2B Users — Recruiters, Employers, and Their Teams

Companies, recruitment agencies, HR professionals, and authorized sales and marketing team members who use the Platform to post vacancies, search candidates, run assessments, and manage hiring or outreach workflows.

3.4 Minors

The Platform is intended for users aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has registered, contact us at privacy@linkkers.com immediately and we will delete such data without undue delay. Where age cannot be verified at registration, additional safeguards apply consistent with PDPL Article 7.

4. Personal Data We Collect

4.1 Data You Provide Directly

Candidates (B2C)

Recruiters and Employers (B2B)

4.2 Pre-Registration and Third-Party Sourced Data

As described in Section 3.2, we may collect professional data from publicly available sources and from licensed third-party data providers before an individual registers on the Platform. This data is used to populate our candidate database for recruiter search. Upon registration, you gain full visibility and control over this data.

Third-party data providers operate under their own privacy frameworks and acceptable use policies. Our use of such data is subject to and compliant with those providers' terms. We only source data from providers who collect data from publicly available professional sources and who comply with applicable data protection laws.

4.3 Device and Mobile Data

When you access the Platform via a mobile device or application, we collect:

4.4 Location Data

4.5 Automatically Collected Data

4.6 Inferred Data

Our AI systems derive characteristics about candidates algorithmically from their profiles and platform behaviour. These inferences are not provided directly by you. They may include:

You have the right to request review, correction, or deletion of any inferred data (see Section 15).

4.7 Data from Third Parties

We process your personal data only where a valid legal basis exists. The table below maps each processing purpose to its legal basis under both PDPL and GDPR:

Processing Purpose Legal Basis (PDPL + GDPR)
Account registration and authentication Contractual necessity (PDPL Art. 6, GDPR Art. 6(1)(b))
Pre-registration public data collection Legitimate interests + PDPL Art. 15(2) — publicly available source

AI matching, scoring, and candidate inference Contractual necessity — core service feature

6. How We Use Your Data

6.1 To Deliver Platform Services

We use your data to operate and provide all features of the Platform, including account management, job matching, candidate search, assessments, CV generation, payment processing, and customer support.

6.2 To Improve and Develop the Platform

We use aggregated, anonymized data to analyze usage patterns, improve features, conduct research and development, and enhance the overall Platform experience. No identifiable personal data is used for this purpose without separate consent.

6.3 For Security and Fraud Prevention

We use data — including device signals, IP addresses, and behavioral patterns — to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorized access, and abuse of the Platform.

6.4 For Legal and Regulatory Compliance

We process and retain data as required by Saudi law, including VAT regulations, AML/KYC obligations, and any orders from competent authorities.

6.5 For Direct Marketing (Optional)

We send marketing communications only where you have explicitly opted in. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting your access to the Platform.

Part B — AI Processing & Data Use Notice

7. AI Processing — How It Works and What It Means for You

This section explains, in plain language, exactly what our artificial intelligence systems do with your data, why it is lawful, and what rights you have. AI processing is a core and inseparable part of the Platform — it is what makes job matching, CV generation, and assessments work. This is not an add-on; it is the service itself.

You do not need to provide separate consent for AI processing that is necessary to deliver the core features of the Platform. It is covered by the contract you enter into when you create an account. What this section explains is what the AI does, so you are fully informed.

7.1 Candidate–Job Matching

Our AI analyses your profile, skills, work history, assessment results, and inferred signals to rank job opportunities by relevance and surface your profile to recruiters whose vacancies match your background. The ranking is automated — no human manually reviews every match.

7.2 Skills Assessment Scoring

When you complete a skills assessment, your responses are evaluated by automated scoring models to produce objective, standardized results visible to recruiters who have access to your profile. Assessment scores are one input — not the sole determinant — in any hiring decision made by a recruiter.

7.3 CV Analysis and Generation

Our AI reads your professional profile and, where you use the CV builder feature, generates and optimizes CV content based on industry standards, formatting best practices, and the requirements of roles you apply for. You review and approve all final CV content.

7.4 Candidate Inference

Beyond what you explicitly provide, our AI infers additional professional signals from your profile and platform behaviour, including estimated seniority, likelihood of being open to new opportunities, industry expertise, and skill adjacencies. These signals improve match quality for recruiters. You have the right to see, challenge, and correct these inferences (see Section 15).

7.5 Fraud and Quality Detection

Automated systems monitor the Platform for suspicious activity, duplicate profiles, data quality issues, and unauthorized use. These systems may flag or restrict accounts without prior notice where a serious risk is detected. You have the right to request human review of any automated restriction on your account.

7.6 Automated Decision-Making and Your Rights

Where AI processing produces a decision that has a significant effect on you — for example, automatic exclusion from a recruiter's shortlist based solely on algorithmic scoring — you have the following rights:

To exercise any of these rights, contact privacy@linkkers.com. We will respond within 15 calendar days.

8. AI Training and Model Improvement

We are transparent about how your data may or may not be used to improve our AI. Read this section carefully.

8.1 Anonymized and Aggregated Data (No Consent Required)

We use fully anonymized and aggregated platform data — from which no individual can be identified, directly or indirectly — to train, test, and improve our AI models and algorithms. Because this data is no longer personal data under PDPL or GDPR, no consent is required and it cannot be opted out of. This is standard practice across the AI industry and is necessary for us to deliver a continuously improving service.

8.2 Identifiable Personal Data (Explicit Opt-In Required)

We will not use your identifiable personal data to train AI models without your explicit, separately obtained consent. If we ever wish to do so, we will present a clear, standalone opt-in that:

8.3 Third-Party AI Sub-Processors

We use third-party AI technology providers — such as large language model APIs — to power features including CV generation and intelligent search. We contractually require all such providers to:

A list of our current AI sub-processors is available on request at privacy@linkkers.com.

Part C — Data Sharing, Third Parties & Retention

9. How We Share Your Data

9.1 With B2B Users (Recruiters, Employers, and Their Teams)

Candidate profiles are shared with B2B users — including recruiters, employers, HR professionals, and authorized sales and marketing team members — as a core function of the Platform. You control your profile visibility at all times through your account settings, including the ability to make your profile unsearchable or remove it entirely from recruiter search results (see Section 15.4).

9.2 Responsibility for B2B User Actions

Important Notice on Third-Party User Responsibility: Once a B2B user accesses your profile or data through the Platform, their subsequent use of that information — including contacting you directly by phone, email, or any other channel, sharing your details internally within their organization, or using your data for sales or marketing outreach — is governed by their own privacy policies and their binding agreement with Linkkers (our Terms of Use). Linkkers Technologies Company does not control, monitor, or bear responsibility for how B2B users use candidate data after it has been accessed through the Platform, and cannot guarantee or be held liable for actions taken by B2B users outside the Platform environment. If you believe a B2B user has misused your data, contact us at privacy@linkkers.com and we will investigate under our Terms of Use enforcement procedures.

9.3 Third-Party Data Provider Obligations

Some candidate data in our database is sourced from or enriched by licensed third-party data providers who collect professional information from publicly available sources. These providers operate under their own privacy frameworks, acceptable use policies, and data protection compliance programs. Our use of such data is subject to and compliant with those providers' applicable terms.

B2B users of the Platform are expressly prohibited from using candidate data — whether sourced from Linkkers directly, from third-party data providers, or from a combination of sources — in any of the following ways:

Violation of these restrictions constitutes a material breach of the B2B user's agreement with Linkkers and may result in immediate termination of access, legal action, and liability for any resulting harm.

9.4 With Service Providers (Processors)

We engage carefully selected third-party service providers who process data strictly on our behalf under written instructions. These include:

All processors are bound by Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) requiring security standards equivalent to our own and compliance with PDPL and, where applicable, GDPR.

9.5 With Regulatory and Legal Authorities

We may disclose personal data to government agencies, courts, or law enforcement where required by Saudi law, judicial order, or to protect the security interests of the Kingdom, consistent with PDPL Article 15(3).

9.6 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of our business, personal data may transfer to the acquiring entity. We will notify you at least 30 days in advance, and you will have the right to delete your account before the transfer takes effect.

9.7 Professional Advisors

We may share data with lawyers, auditors, accountants, and insurers where necessary, subject to professional confidentiality obligations.

9.8 What We Do Not Do

We do not sell, rent, or trade your identifiable personal data to any third party for their own independent commercial purposes. Any data-derived commercialization is conducted exclusively on the basis of fully anonymized and aggregated insights from which no individual can be re-identified. This commitment is unconditional.

The Platform may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services not operated by Linkkers. We are not responsible for their privacy practices and this Policy does not apply to them. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third party before providing personal data to them.

If you use a Google account to log in, our use of Google API data complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy including the Limited Use requirements. Google Workspace APIs are not used to develop, improve, or train generalized AI or ML models.

11. International Data Transfers

Our primary data infrastructure is hosted within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Where operational requirements involve transferring data outside the Kingdom, we ensure:

Details of any cross-border transfer arrangements are available on request at privacy@linkkers.com.

12. Data Retention

Upon expiry of the retention period, data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymized. Where you request deletion earlier, we will comply unless retention is required by law.

Part D — Limitation of Liability & User Acknowledgments

13. Limitation of Liability and User Acknowledgments

This section sets out important limitations on Linkkers' legal liability to users. By registering for and using the Platform, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

13.1 Acknowledgment of Pre-Registration Data

By completing registration on the Platform, you acknowledge that Linkkers may have collected publicly available or legitimately sourced professional data about you prior to your registration, as described in Section 3.2. You confirm your understanding of the lawful basis for such collection under PDPL Article 15(2) and legitimate interests grounds. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you waive any right to bring a claim, action, or proceeding against Linkkers Technologies Company, its officers, employees, agents, or data partners arising solely from the pre-registration collection, storage, or display of your publicly available or third-party-sourced professional data, provided that such data does not include sensitive personal information and was handled in accordance with this Policy.

13.2 No Liability for B2B User Actions

Linkkers Technologies Company operates as a platform intermediary and does not control, supervise, or bear responsibility for how B2B users — including recruiters, employers, HR professionals, sales teams, or marketing teams — use candidate data after it has been accessed through the Platform. Linkkers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from a B2B user's actions, communications, decisions, or use of data outside the Platform environment. Your recourse in the event of B2B user misconduct is against that B2B user directly. Linkkers will cooperate with legitimate legal processes and enforce its Terms of Use against B2B users where violations are established.

13.3 No Guarantee of Accuracy of Third-Party Data

Data sourced from publicly available platforms or third-party data providers is collected as-is and may not be fully accurate, complete, or current at the time it is displayed on the Platform. Linkkers does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose of any third-party-sourced data. Upon registration, you have the right to immediately correct any inaccurate data. Linkkers shall not be liable for any decision made by a B2B user based on inaccurate third-party-sourced data where you have not exercised your right to correct such data.

13.4 No Liability for AI Outputs

AI-generated outputs on the Platform — including candidate rankings, match scores, CV suggestions, and inferred attributes — are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute professional advice, employment decisions, or factual determinations. Linkkers does not warrant that AI-generated outputs are accurate, complete, or suitable for any specific purpose. B2B users are solely responsible for any hiring, engagement, or business decision they make based on AI-generated outputs. Linkkers shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or claim arising from reliance on AI-generated outputs by either B2B or B2C users.

13.5 Platform Availability

Linkkers provides the Platform on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or secure access to the Platform at all times. Linkkers shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from Platform downtime, technical failures, data loss, or unauthorized access to user data where such events occur despite reasonable security measures being in place.

13.6 Aggregate Liability Cap

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Linkkers' total aggregate liability to any user arising out of or relating to this Policy or the Platform — whether in contract, tort, or otherwise — shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total fees paid by that user to Linkkers in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim; or (b) SAR 500 (five hundred Saudi Riyals), where no fees have been paid. Nothing in this clause limits Linkkers' liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law including PDPL.

13.7 Governing Law and Jurisdiction

Our Platform is accessible globally and we recognise that users register from many different countries. The following two-tier framework applies:

Tier 1 — Primary Governing Law (All Users)

This Policy and any dispute, claim, or matter arising out of or in connection with it — including its existence, validity, interpretation, breach, or termination — shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Subject to Tier 2 below, any dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. You agree to submit to that jurisdiction for the resolution of any such dispute.

Tier 2 — Mandatory Local Rights (International Users)

Notwithstanding Tier 1, nothing in this Policy limits or excludes any right you have under mandatory laws applicable in your country of residence that cannot be waived or overridden by contract. Specifically: (a) EU and UK users retain all rights under GDPR and UK GDPR, including the right to bring a complaint before or seek redress from their local data protection supervisory authority and, where mandatory law permits, their local courts; (b) California users retain all non-waivable rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to file a complaint with the California Privacy Protection Agency; (c) users in any other jurisdiction retain any non-waivable rights granted by the mandatory consumer protection or data protection laws of that jurisdiction. Where a mandatory local law conflicts with Tier 1, the mandatory local law prevails to the minimum extent necessary to comply with it, and Tier 1 continues to apply in all other respects.

Language

This Policy is published in English. An Arabic version will be made available for Saudi users and will have equal legal standing. In the event of any conflict between the English and Arabic versions, the Arabic version shall prevail for users in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the English version shall prevail for all other users. Where local law requires the policy to be in another language, we will provide a translated version upon reasonable request to privacy@linkkers.com.

Part E — Your Rights, Security & Contact

On mobile devices we may use your Advertising ID (IDFA on iOS, GAID on Android) for analytics and, where consented, targeted advertising. You may opt out in device settings at any time (iOS: Settings > Privacy > Tracking; Android: Settings > Google > Ads).

Contact privacy@linkkers.com with the subject line 'Database Removal Request'. We will process your request within 15 calendar days. This does not delete your account — you may still log in and use candidate-facing features.

15.5 Authorized Agent

You may designate an authorized agent to submit privacy requests on your behalf by providing a written, signed authorization document or valid power of attorney. Identity verification may still be required.

15.6 Appealing a Denied Request

In the event of a breach affecting your rights, we will notify SDAIA within 72 hours and inform affected users without undue delay, per PDPL Article 20 and GDPR Article 33.

17. Children's Privacy

The Platform is not directed at individuals under 18. If we become aware that a minor has provided personal data, we will delete it immediately. Contact privacy@linkkers.com if you believe a minor has registered.

18. Marketing Communications

We send direct marketing only where you have explicitly opted in. Withdraw at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email, updating your account settings, or emailing privacy@linkkers.com. Withdrawal does not affect access to any Platform feature.

19. Changes to This Policy

For material changes, we will notify you by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect and display a prominent notice on the Platform. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
