Last updated: 27 September 2026

1. Who we are

ABS HR Consultancy (“ABS”, “we”, “us”) provides recruitment, HR outsourcing and HR consultancy services in the United Arab Emirates. This policy explains how we handle personal data when you visit https://abshrconsultancy.com, use our HR Diagnostic, apply for jobs or work with us as a client.

We process personal data in line with Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data and other applicable UAE laws, including the data-protection rules of the DIFC and ADGM where they apply.

2. Data we collect

We collect only what we need for the purpose you share it for:

  • Enquiries: name, company, email, phone number, the service you are interested in and your message.
  • HR Diagnostic: your answers, company size and industry, and your contact details when you request the report.
  • Job applications: your CV, contact details, employment history and any information you choose to share.
  • Client services: employee data you provide for payroll, compliance or HR operations, processed under a separate data processing agreement.
  • Website usage: basic technical information such as browser type and pages visited, collected through essential cookies.

3. How we use your data

  • To respond to enquiries and provide the services you request.
  • To generate and send your HR Diagnostic report.
  • To assess your application for roles with ABS or our clients.
  • To send our newsletter, only if you subscribe. You can unsubscribe at any time.
  • To meet legal, tax and regulatory obligations.

We never sell your personal data.

4. Who we share it with

We share personal data only when necessary: with client companies when you apply for their roles (with your consent), with service providers who host our systems under confidentiality obligations, and with authorities where the law requires it.

5. How we protect it

Data is stored on encrypted systems with role-based access controls and audit logging. Staff are bound by confidentiality agreements and receive regular data-protection training.

6. How long we keep it

We keep enquiry and diagnostic data for up to 24 months, candidate data for up to 36 months unless you ask us to delete it sooner, and client payroll data for the period required by UAE labour and tax law.

7. Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct or erase your personal data, withdraw consent, or nominate someone to exercise your rights. To make a request, email us and we will respond within 30 days.
