Crest Consulting ("Crest," "we," "us," or "our") provides HR and IT consulting services to businesses across the UAE and GCC, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman. We are headquartered at Level 14, Boulevard Plaza Tower 1, Downtown Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use and share it, and the rights available to you.
This Policy covers personal data we collect through this website, our contact form, discovery calls, and general business communications. Where we're engaged by a client for a specific consulting or recruitment assignment, that engagement is governed by a separate signed agreement, which may set out additional or different data handling terms that take precedence over this Policy for that engagement.
Information you provide directly — your name, work email address, phone number, company name and job title, the service you're interested in, and any details you share in your message.
Recruitment-related information — if you engage us for talent acquisition or recruitment strategy support, or if you're a candidate involved in such an engagement, we may collect CVs, employment history, skills, and related professional information, in each case for the purposes of that engagement.
Information collected automatically — this website does not currently use cookies, analytics, or visitor-tracking technology. If that changes, we'll update this Policy and, where required by law, ask for your consent first.
We do not sell personal data.
Where the UAE's Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data, or an equivalent GCC data protection law, applies to our processing, we rely on one or more of the following grounds: your consent, the steps necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, our legitimate business interests, or compliance with a legal obligation.
We share personal data only where necessary, including with:
We do not share personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Because we work with clients across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman, personal data may be processed or accessed in more than one GCC country as part of an engagement. Where required, we take reasonable steps to handle such transfers consistently with applicable data protection law.
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including active inquiries, client relationship management, and legal or accounting recordkeeping. When no longer needed, data is deleted or securely archived in line with our retention practices and legal requirements.
Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data, object to certain processing, or lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before processing a request.
If we ever send marketing communications (for example, about new Insights articles), you can opt out at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. We may still send non-marketing messages related to an ongoing inquiry or engagement.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our services and website are intended for business use by adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Our website may link to or rely on third-party services, including Formspree. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites and encourage you to review their policies separately.
We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
