Cookie Policy

Bridge is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we hold, why we hold it, and the choices and rights you have. It applies to everyone who interacts with us — prospective candidates, employer partners, and visitors to this website.

1. Who we are

Bridge is a vocational training and placement institution headquartered in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, and backed by db Group. For the purposes of applicable data protection law, Bridge is the controller responsible for your personal data. Where we arrange placements, we may also share data with employer partners who act as separate controllers.

2. Information we collect

We collect information you provide to us directly, and a limited amount of technical information collected automatically when you use our website.

Information you give us

• Identity and contact details — name, email address, phone number, and country of residence.
• Candidate information — work history, qualifications, references, and role preferences submitted through our candidate forms.
• Employer information — company name, role of the contact, hiring requirements, and correspondence.
• Any other information you choose to include in an enquiry or message.

Information we collect automatically

• Technical data — IP address, browser type, and device information.
• Usage data — pages visited and interactions, collected through cookies and similar technologies (see
  Cookies
  ).

3. How we use your information

We use personal information to:

• Respond to your enquiries and provide the information you request.
• Assess candidate suitability and match candidates to role opportunities with employer partners.
• Deliver training, induction, and post-placement support.
• Manage our relationship with employer partners.
• Improve our website and services.
• Comply with legal, regulatory, and immigration obligations.

4. Legal basis for processing

We process personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so: with your consent; to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform one; to comply with a legal obligation; or where it is in our legitimate interests to operate and improve our services, provided your rights do not override those interests.

5. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to deliver our services:

• Employer partners — candidate details are shared with prospective employers as part of the placement process, with your knowledge.
• Service providers — trusted partners who host our systems, process forms, or support our operations under confidentiality obligations.
• Authorities — where required by law, regulation, or a legitimate government request.

6. Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.

7. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data; to object to or restrict certain processing; to withdraw consent; and to request a copy of your data in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

8. Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures — including SSL encryption in transit and access controls — to protect personal data against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to function correctly and to understand how the site is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings. For full detail on the cookies we use, see our Cookie Policy.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated where appropriate.
