1. Introduction

Welcome to Linkeora (“Linkeora”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).

Linkeora is an online platform designed to connect job seekers, employers, recruitment agencies, businesses, service providers, and other users. Our services may include job listings, CV and resume profiles, recruitment opportunities, professional networking, community discussions, advertisements, marketplace listings, travel services, hotel and flight bookings, event listings, and other services introduced from time to time.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose, protect, and otherwise process personal information when you visit our website, create an account, upload a CV, apply for a job, publish a listing, communicate with other users, make a payment, or use our services.

We are committed to handling personal information transparently and responsibly, in accordance with applicable data-protection and privacy laws.

By using Linkeora, you acknowledge that you have been provided access to this Privacy Policy. Where applicable law requires consent for a particular type of processing, we will obtain that consent separately.

2. Who Is Responsible for Your Personal Data?

The organisation responsible for processing your personal information will generally be:

Platform Name: Linkeora
Registered Legal Entity: [Insert Full Legal Entity Name]
Registration Number: [Insert Commercial Registration Number, if applicable]
Registered Address: [Insert Full Business Address]
Country of Registration: [Insert Country]
Privacy Contact: [Insert Privacy Email Address]
Website: [Insert Official Website URL]

Depending on the service and transaction, Linkeora may act as a data controller, a data processor, or another legally recognised role.

Where another organisation independently determines how it uses your personal information, that organisation may have its own privacy responsibilities and policy.

If Linkeora is not yet a registered legal entity, the appropriate operating individual or legal entity must be identified before this policy is published.

3. Personal Information We May Collect

Depending on the features you use, Linkeora may collect the following categories of information.

3.1 Account and Contact Information

  • Full name and username.
  • Email address and telephone number.
  • Account login credentials and authentication information.
  • Country, city, and general location.
  • Account preferences, profile settings, and communication preferences.

Passwords should be stored using appropriate secure hashing methods rather than as readable plain text.

3.2 CV, Resume, and Employment Information

If you create a candidate profile or apply for a job, we may process:

  • CVs, resumes, and cover letters.
  • Employment history and professional experience.
  • Educational qualifications, certificates, and skills.
  • Job preferences, expected salary, and availability.
  • Professional references and information you choose to provide.
  • Job applications, application status, and communications with employers.
  • Professional photographs or portfolio materials, where provided.

Please avoid including unnecessary sensitive information, such as passport numbers, bank details, national identification numbers, or medical records, in publicly accessible CVs.

3.3 Employer and Business Information

For employer, recruiter, seller, advertiser, or business accounts, we may collect:

  • Business or trading name.
  • Company registration and licensing information.
  • Business address and contact details.
  • Information about authorised representatives.
  • Job advertisements, vacancies, products, and services.
  • Verification documents where reasonably necessary.
  • Subscription, listing, and billing records.

We may use appropriate verification procedures to help identify fraudulent or impersonating accounts.

3.4 Payment and Transaction Information

When you purchase a Linkeora service or use an eligible transaction feature, we may process:

  • Transaction references and payment status.
  • Amount, currency, date, and billing history.
  • Invoices, receipts, refunds, and dispute records.
  • Relevant billing details.
  • Information supplied by payment processors to confirm a transaction.

Where a third-party payment provider handles a payment, card numbers and security codes should generally be processed by that provider rather than stored directly by Linkeora.

The information actually collected will depend on the payment method and the provider involved.

3.5 Technical and Usage Information

When you access Linkeora, we may collect:

  • IP address and approximate location derived from it.
  • Browser type, operating system, and device information.
  • Pages visited, features used, and interaction records.
  • Login timestamps and session information.
  • Cookies and similar technologies.
  • Security logs, error reports, and diagnostic information.

We will use this information for purposes permitted by applicable law and explain any consent requirements for non-essential tracking technologies.

3.6 Communications and User-Generated Content

We may process information you provide through support requests, contact forms, reviews, community posts, messages, reports, complaints, and feedback.

This information may be used to respond to your request, operate the platform, enforce our policies, investigate reported abuse, and meet legal obligations.

4. How We Collect Personal Information

We may collect information:

  1. Directly from you when you register, submit a form, upload a CV, or contact us.
  2. From employers, recruiters, or other users when they submit information about their organisation or a transaction.
  3. Automatically through website logs, cookies, and similar technologies.
  4. From identity, business verification, fraud-prevention, and payment service providers where legally permitted.
  5. From publicly available sources where appropriate and lawful.
  6. From third-party services you choose to connect with Linkeora.
  7. From competent authorities or other organisations where legally permitted or required.

We will not knowingly collect more personal information than is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose, subject to applicable legal requirements.

5. Why We Use Personal Information

Linkeora may process personal information for the following purposes:

  • Creating and managing user accounts.
  • Displaying candidate profiles and CVs according to your settings.
  • Enabling job applications and employer-candidate communication.
  • Publishing and managing business profiles, job listings, and advertisements.
  • Providing marketplace, booking, and other services where introduced.
  • Processing payments and maintaining financial records.
  • Verifying accounts and investigating suspicious activity.
  • Detecting fake job offers, impersonation, scams, and security threats.
  • Responding to complaints, support requests, and legal notices.
  • Maintaining website performance, reliability, and security.
  • Sending service announcements and essential account notifications.
  • Sending marketing communications where legally permitted and, where required, with your consent.
  • Analysing usage to improve our services.
  • Meeting applicable tax, accounting, employment, privacy, and other legal obligations.
  • Establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims where appropriate.

We will use personal information only for disclosed purposes or other purposes permitted by applicable law.

6. Legal Grounds for Processing

Depending on the applicable jurisdiction and the specific activity, Linkeora may rely on one or more lawful grounds for processing personal information, including:

  • Your consent.
  • Performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract.
  • Compliance with a legal obligation.
  • Legitimate interests, where recognised by applicable law and balanced against your rights.
  • Protection of vital interests or other lawful grounds recognised by the relevant legislation.

Where consent is required, you may withdraw it in accordance with applicable law. Withdrawal does not necessarily invalidate processing lawfully performed before withdrawal.

Where processing is necessary to provide a requested service or comply with a legal obligation, refusing to provide certain information may prevent us from providing that service.

7. CV Visibility and Sharing with Employers

Linkeora may offer different profile visibility settings, including private profiles, profiles visible to selected employers, and public profiles.

The exact options will depend on the features available on the platform.

If you submit a CV or apply for a job, the relevant employer or recruiter may receive information you provide for that application.

If you make your profile publicly accessible, other users or search engines may be able to access, copy, index, or retain publicly displayed information.

Linkeora cannot guarantee that third parties who lawfully or unlawfully access public information will delete every copy they have obtained.

You should review your profile settings carefully and avoid publishing information that you do not wish to share.

Where available, you may change visibility settings or request removal of your profile, subject to applicable legal requirements and legitimate retention needs.

8. Sharing Personal Information with Third Parties

Linkeora may share personal information in the following circumstances, where lawful and appropriate.

8.1 Employers and Recruitment Agencies

If you apply for a job or choose to make your profile available to employers, we may share relevant CV details, professional information, contact information, and application materials with the recipient.

The employer or recruiter may process that information under its own privacy policy and legal obligations.

Linkeora does not control every subsequent use of information by an independent employer or recruiter.

8.2 Technology and Service Providers

We may share relevant information with providers that support website hosting, cloud storage, analytics, email delivery, customer support, security, payment processing, and other operational functions.

Where required by applicable law, appropriate contractual, security, and data-protection safeguards will be used.

8.3 Payment Providers

If you make a payment, relevant information may be shared with payment gateways, banks, financial institutions, fraud-prevention providers, and payment processors to authorise, settle, verify, or investigate the transaction.

Their own terms and privacy policies may also apply.

8.4 Business Partners and Third-Party Services

Where you request a third-party service, booking, product, or transaction, we may share the information necessary to fulfil that request.

The identity of the relevant provider and the nature of the sharing should be disclosed where required.

We will not treat general platform registration as blanket consent for unrelated third-party marketing or undisclosed uses of personal information.

8.5 Legal and Regulatory Disclosures

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary and legally permitted or required to:

  • Comply with a court order, lawful request, or legal obligation.
  • Respond to competent government or regulatory authorities.
  • Investigate suspected fraud or unlawful activity.
  • Protect users, the public, or the security of Linkeora.
  • Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

8.6 Corporate Transactions

If Linkeora undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of business assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law and appropriate safeguards.

9. Third-Party Companies, Recruitment Scams, and Payment Fraud

Important: Linkeora is not automatically responsible for independent third-party companies that request money from users and subsequently commit fraud.

Linkeora may allow employers, recruiters, manpower agencies, sellers, advertisers, service providers, and other independent third parties to publish information or communicate with users through the platform.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, those third parties operate independently and are responsible for their own representations, recruitment activities, contracts, payment requests, business operations, and handling of personal information.

A company profile, job advertisement, listing, verification label, or communication appearing on Linkeora must not be treated as an unconditional guarantee that the third party is genuine, financially reliable, legally authorised, or incapable of committing fraud.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Linkeora shall not be responsible for financial losses resulting from an independent third party’s fraud, false promises, misrepresentation, unlawful recruitment practices, failure to provide employment, refusal to refund money, or failure to deliver a product or service, where Linkeora is not legally responsible for the relevant conduct.

This applies to payments made directly to a third party through cash, bank transfer, mobile wallet, payment link, or another payment channel, where the loss arises from the third party’s independent conduct.

Users should independently verify the identity and legitimacy of any company, recruiter, seller, or service provider before transferring money or disclosing sensitive information.

Linkeora does not authorise, endorse, or guarantee any recruitment fee, visa charge, processing fee, security deposit, training fee, medical charge, or other payment requested by a third party merely because that request is communicated through the platform. Such charges must comply with applicable laws.

Users should:

  • Verify the company’s registration and relevant recruitment licences.
  • Confirm job offers through independently verified official contact details.
  • Carefully review contracts and payment terms.
  • Avoid transferring money to unverified personal accounts.
  • Never share passwords, one-time verification codes, or unnecessary financial information.
  • Report suspected fraud to Linkeora and contact their bank, payment provider, or appropriate authorities promptly.

Linkeora may investigate reports, restrict suspicious accounts, remove listings, preserve relevant evidence, and cooperate with competent authorities where appropriate or legally required.

Limitations of this disclaimer: Nothing in this Privacy Policy excludes or limits Linkeora’s own legal obligations concerning personal information in its possession or control, its own unlawful conduct, its own security failures where legally actionable, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

This section addresses privacy-related disclosures and third-party risks. The full contractual allocation of responsibility for payments, refunds, and transactions is set out in the applicable Terms and Conditions and service-specific policies.

10. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Linkeora may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to:

  • Keep users signed in.
  • Maintain account sessions and security.
  • Remember preferences.
  • Understand website performance.
  • Measure advertising effectiveness.
  • Analyse usage and improve the platform.
  • Support personalised content or advertising where permitted.

Essential technologies may be necessary for core website functions. Non-essential analytics, advertising, or tracking technologies will be used in accordance with applicable consent requirements.

Where required, users will be provided with an appropriate cookie notice and controls to accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies.

Browser settings may also allow users to block or delete cookies, although certain website features may stop working properly.

A separate Cookie Policy may provide additional information about specific cookies, providers, durations, and preferences.

11. Marketing and Communications

We may send service-related communications such as account verification messages, security alerts, application notifications, billing information, policy updates, and responses to support requests.

Where legally permitted, we may also send information about new features, promotions, services, or relevant opportunities.

You may opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link or contacting us.

Opting out of marketing will not necessarily stop essential service messages or communications required for legal, security, or contractual purposes.

We will respect applicable rules governing electronic marketing, consent, and opt-out requests.

12. Data Retention and Deletion

Linkeora retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Retention periods may depend on:

  • Whether your account remains active.
  • Whether your CV or profile is available to employers.
  • The status of applications or transactions.
  • Security, fraud-prevention, and dispute-resolution needs.
  • Tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations.
  • The establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take appropriate steps to delete, anonymise, or securely dispose of it, where applicable.

Some records may need to be retained after account closure to comply with law, investigate suspected fraud, enforce agreements, or protect legal rights.

Deleting your Linkeora account does not automatically remove information already lawfully shared with independent employers, recruiters, payment providers, or other recipients. You may need to contact those recipients separately.

13. International Data Transfers

Linkeora may use hosting providers, cloud infrastructure, support services, or other providers located in countries different from your country of residence.

Consequently, personal information may be transferred to or accessed from other jurisdictions where legally permitted.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, Linkeora will implement the required measures, which may include contractual protections, approved transfer mechanisms, or other lawful safeguards.

The protections available in another country may differ from those in your country of residence.

Further information about relevant transfers and safeguards may be requested through our privacy contact, subject to applicable law and security considerations.

14. Data Security

Linkeora will take reasonable and appropriate technical, organisational, and administrative measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction.

Depending on the nature of the data and the services provided, these measures may include:

  • Access controls and permission management.
  • Encryption where appropriate.
  • Secure password storage.
  • System updates and security monitoring.
  • Backups and recovery procedures.
  • Staff confidentiality and access restrictions.
  • Security assessments and incident-response procedures.
  • Appropriate contractual safeguards for service providers.

No online platform, website, storage system, or electronic transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users are responsible for protecting their account credentials, using strong passwords, keeping verification codes confidential, and promptly reporting suspected unauthorised access.

If a personal-data incident occurs, Linkeora will take appropriate steps in accordance with applicable law, including any required investigation, notification, and remediation.

15. Data Breaches and Security Incidents

If Linkeora becomes aware of a personal-data breach affecting information it is responsible for, we will assess the incident and take reasonable steps to contain, investigate, and mitigate its effects.

Where required by applicable law, we will notify the relevant authority and affected individuals within the legally prescribed timeframe and provide the required information.

The nature and timing of any notification will depend on the incident, the risks involved, and the applicable legal requirements.

16. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, the applicable law, and the circumstances of the processing, you may have rights to:

  • Request access to your personal information.
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Request deletion of information where legally available.
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing activities.
  • Request a copy of certain information in a portable format.
  • Manage marketing preferences.
  • Raise a complaint with the relevant data-protection authority.
  • Exercise other rights provided by applicable law.

These rights are subject to applicable legal exceptions and may not be absolute in every circumstance.

To make a request, contact:

Privacy Email: [Insert Privacy Email Address]

Please provide enough information for us to understand and verify your request. We may ask for additional information where reasonably necessary to protect against unauthorised disclosure.

We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

If we cannot fulfil a request, we will explain the reason where legally required.

17. Children’s Privacy

Linkeora is intended primarily for individuals who are legally eligible to use the relevant employment, business, and other services.

We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information in circumstances where doing so is prohibited by applicable law.

Where a service is available to minors, we will apply any age restrictions, parental consent requirements, and additional safeguards required by law.

If you believe a child has provided personal information in violation of applicable requirements, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.

18. Third-Party Websites and Privacy Policies

Linkeora may contain links to external websites, employer websites, recruitment portals, payment gateways, social media services, travel providers, airlines, hotels, or other third-party platforms.

These services may have their own privacy policies and data-handling practices.

Linkeora does not control every aspect of an external website’s collection, use, security, or disclosure of personal information.

Before providing personal information to a third party, users should review the relevant privacy policy and ensure they understand how their information will be used.

This provision does not remove any responsibilities Linkeora has under applicable law for its own links, integrations, disclosures, or conduct.

19. Marketplace, Booking, and Future Services

If Linkeora introduces marketplace, travel, hotel, flight, event, or other booking services, additional information may be required to complete the requested transaction.

Depending on the service, this may include contact details, passenger information, booking references, delivery information, transaction records, or other necessary information.

Where a third-party provider supplies the service, relevant information may be shared with that provider to fulfil the request.

The provider may separately determine how it processes information under its own privacy policy and legal obligations.

Additional notices, consent requests, or service-specific terms may apply where required.

Linkeora will not collect or disclose unnecessary information merely because a future service makes it technically possible.

20. Automated Processing and Personalised Recommendations

Linkeora may use automated tools to sort job listings, recommend opportunities, identify suspicious activity, improve search results, or personalise user experiences.

Where automated processing has legal or similarly significant effects on individuals and applicable law grants additional rights or requires safeguards, Linkeora will comply with those requirements.

Users should not assume that an automated recommendation guarantees suitability, eligibility, recruitment success, or the legitimacy of a job offer.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide relevant information about significant automated decision-making and available rights.

21. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Linkeora may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, business model, technology, data practices, or applicable legal requirements.

The updated policy will be published on the website with a revised “Last Updated” date.

Where required by law, we will provide advance notice, obtain renewed consent, or take other appropriate steps before implementing a material change.

We encourage users to review this page periodically.

22. Applicable Laws and Jurisdiction

Linkeora aims to comply with the privacy and data-protection requirements applicable to its operations and the users it serves.

Depending on the circumstances, these may include applicable laws in Qatar, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or other relevant jurisdictions.

The applicability of a particular law depends on factors such as the location of the operating entity, the individuals concerned, the nature of the processing, and the services offered.

This Privacy Policy does not claim that one document automatically satisfies every legal requirement worldwide.

Where mandatory local law provides additional rights or imposes stricter obligations, that law will apply to the extent required.

Nothing in this policy excludes rights, remedies, or obligations that cannot lawfully be waived or excluded.
