This notice explains how Risalat Consultants International (“Risalat”, “we”) handles the personal information you give us when you apply for a role, join our expert network or express interest in working with us.

What we collect

  • Your name, email address, country and, if you choose, your professional affiliation.
  • Your area of expertise, availability, LinkedIn or portfolio link and any message you write.
  • The CV, writing sample or portfolio file you upload.
  • Your conflict of interest declaration.
  • Basic technical information needed to protect the form from abuse (for example a one-way code of your network address used for rate limiting).

Why we use it
