Privacy Policy

Privacy questions and requests: hello@safaqa.co

You do not need an account only to submit an application.

From applicants: contact details, business profile, ownership or mandate information, financial and operating information you choose to share, transaction preferences, messages, and files you upload.

From Careers candidates: first and last name, email, area of interest, an optional message and professional link, a PDF résumé, and a record of consent. These profiles form a private talent pool for possible future roles and are separate from the business and investor pipeline.

Do not send information you are not authorised to share, and do not send more sensitive detail than the form asks for.

The site may also record basic technical data needed to deliver pages and keep the service secure (for example browser details and security logs).

We use this information to receive and review applications, contact you, prepare anonymised teasers, arrange introductions you have approved, provide transaction support you have agreed to, administer agreed fees, secure the service, and keep records we need.

We do not sell personal information.

We do not use application data for advertising.

Careers profiles are used to consider possible future opportunities and contact candidates when relevant. Submitting a profile is not an application to an advertised vacancy and does not guarantee a review or response.

Personal information may be seen by operators and advisers who need it for the purposes described above. Sharing identifying information with a prospective counterparty requires a signed NDA and your explicit consent; the approval and NDA rules are set out on the Confidentiality page.

Public Pipeline summaries require separate approval under those same rules. Anonymised summaries can still carry a risk of re-identification.

We may share limited information with the providers that host the site, store submissions, deliver pages, or secure the service, and where the law requires disclosure.

With the consent given on the Careers form, a candidate's first name, last name, email, and résumé are also sent to our recruiting team's Telegram chat. Internal notes and the form's optional message and professional link are not included in that notification. Telegram processes and stores the delivered copy under its own terms.

Application information is stored on the systems we use to run the website and review files. Mail sent to hello@safaqa.co is read by the operators in order to respond.

Those systems may process data outside Lebanon. Applying means that transfer. We do not claim that data stays in Lebanon.

We will update this notice if the way we hold or share information changes in a material way.

Inactive applications are reviewed after 24 months and then deleted or anonymised unless a live mandate, dispute, or legal duty requires keeping them.

Signed NDAs and records of a closed process are kept as needed for that engagement and for limitation periods.

Backups may lag a deletion request.

You may ask us to remove a Careers profile by emailing hello@safaqa.co. Removing it from our talent register does not automatically remove copies already delivered to Telegram; those copies require separate removal by the operators.

Email hello@safaqa.co to ask for access, correction, deletion, or export, or to withdraw consent where that applies.

We aim to acknowledge requests within 10 business days. We may verify identity and may refuse or limit a request where the law, another person’s rights, security, or required records say we must.

If information about a child under 18 was sent in error, write to hello@safaqa.co so we can review and address it. Service eligibility is set out in the Terms of Service.

Material changes will be posted on this page with a new date. A silent update does not authorise new use of your information.

We cannot guarantee absolute security or immediate deletion of every copy; retention exceptions and backup limits are described above.
