Data protection (PDPL)
How Seerty handles your personal data under Bahrain’s Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 30 of 2018), in plain words.
Who is responsible
Hussain Alhakeem (Seerty beta), Kingdom of Bahrain. Contact: halhakeem2@gmail.com, or use the contact page.
The law is supervised by the Personal Data Protection Authority in Bahrain.
What we process, why, and for how long
| Data | Why | Kept |
|---|---|---|
| Your resume details | To draw the preview, the PDF or Word file, and to run the checks | On your device only, until you download |
| A CV file or text you import | To fill the form for you | Not stored: read in memory and discarded |
| Your order (resume details, order number, payment status) | So you can download again and edit | 30 days of access, then 30 more days, then deleted |
| Payment record (if you paid) | Accounting rules | Kept without any resume details |
| Public profile page (if you publish one) | To show the page you asked for | Until you delete it |
| Contact messages | To answer you | 90 days |
| Anonymous counts | To see whether the site works | Totals only: no name, IP address or cookie |
Consent
We ask for your agreement before you download, before you publish a profile and before you send a message. When you download or publish, we record when you agreed and to which version of the texts. You can withdraw it at any time by deleting your data, and that does not affect what we did before.
Sensitive information
You do not need to give us anything sensitive. A photo is optional: add one only if the country or employer you are applying to expects it. Please do not put your religion, health, ethnic origin or similar details in your resume unless you really want them there: whatever you type is used only to make your file, but you are the one who decides what your CV says.
Your rights and how to use them
- Delete: the “Delete my data” button at the bottom of the builder removes your order, your draft and your public page immediately.
- See, copy, correct, restrict or object: use the contact page and choose “My data”, or write to halhakeem2@gmail.com.
- How fast: we answer within 15 working days. We may ask you to confirm who you are first, so that nobody else can get your data.
Transfers outside Bahrain
Our server is in Bahrain, and your CV, orders and profile page are stored there. The exception is the optional AI features: text you send with the AI buttons, messages to the AI assistant and voice answers in interview practice are processed by AI providers outside Bahrain (see section 2). The site asks you before you use them the first time, and by using them you consent to this transfer. Everything else works without them.
Security and breaches
- No advertising trackers and no third-party analytics.
- The AI buttons and voice answers are optional. They send only what the task needs (text, or the recording of a spoken interview answer), never your name or contact details, to our AI service and the AI provider it uses, which may be outside Bahrain and may keep it.
- Imported files are never written to disk.
- Orders, saved profile details and contact messages are stored encrypted on the server. The key is kept apart from the backups.
- Order links and profile edit keys are long, private and signed. Anyone who has one can use it, so keep it private.
- If a breach is likely to put your data or rights at risk, we will tell you and the Personal Data Protection Authority as the law requires.
Complaints
Please tell us first, so we can fix it. You may also complain to the Personal Data Protection Authority in Bahrain or, if you live in another country, to the data protection authority there.
If you live outside Bahrain
Seerty is open to people in every country. When you use it from abroad, your data is sent to our server to give you the service (see “Transfers outside Bahrain” above). You keep any rights your own country’s data protection law gives you, and you can use them by writing to us in the same way.
