RecruiterPal is located in Singapore, and our affiliated company is located in Indonesia. We generally do not transfer your personal data to countries outside of Singapore. However, depending on the scope of your interactions with us, your personal information may be stored in or accessed from multiple countries. If we do so, we will obtain your consent for the transfer to be made and we will take steps to ensure that your personal data continues to receive a standard of protection that is at least comparable to that provided under the PDPA.
