We may also give information about you as follows:

to other companies and/or brands in the IFFCO Group for the purposes of progressing your employment application; and
if we have a duty to do so or if the law allows us to do so.

Legal basis and lawfulness of processing

The local information protection laws and regulations of United Arab Emirates apply.

Transfer of your personal information

IFFCO Group as well as some parties that process or store personal information may be located in jurisdictions outside your country of residence. Therefore, your information may be processed and stored in these jurisdictions and, as a result, foreign governments, courts, or law enforcement or regulatory agencies may be able to obtain disclosure of your information through the laws in these countries.

Retention period

Regarding recruited applicants, their information will be stored together with their personal file and the retention period of this information will be the same as for the storage of the personal file, but no longer than necessary. The retention period for information relating to the non-recruited applicants and non-recruited applicants on the reserve lists is two years, after which time such information is destroyed.

Changes to this privacy policy

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our website(s) so you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.

Recruitment fraud

It has come to our attention that various people and organisations unrelated to the IFFCO Group are sending emails or otherwise contacting individuals offering fraudulent employment opportunities in the IFFCO Group. These people and organisations may request personal information or money from you in order to progress the application. We would therefore advise that you never provide your bank account or credit card details as part of a job application.

During our recruitment process you would always interact with an IFFCO Group employee or representative personally for an interview before any formal offer of employment is made.

IFFCO Group will never ask for money transfers or payment of any kind from job applicants, and will never ask for advance payment from you towards travel expenses or visas/work permits if your application is successful. Be wary of anyone who asks you for money in order to take up a job opportunity with IFFCO Group as this offer will be fraudulent.

If you receive an email that appears to be from IFFCO Group that instructs you to send replies to an email address other than one ending with “@iffco.com” please treat it as fraudulent and notify us through the below mentioned email id so we can take appropriate action as quickly as possible. 

Contact information and recourse

For any questions on your rights and the exercise of your rights under this Recruitment Privacy Policy related to the processing of personal information or in case of concerns on any Personal Information Protection issue, please feel free to contact us at recruitment@iffco.com.
