LexElite operates a global recruitment model. Your personal information may be accessed, stored, or processed in countries other than the country where you live.

16. Automated Decision-Making
LexElite may use software to organize applications, search candidate profiles, identify relevant skills, or support recruitment administration.
We do not intend to make final hiring decisions solely through automated technology without appropriate human involvement, unless this is clearly disclosed and legally permitted.
Any future use of artificial intelligence or automated recruitment tools will be assessed for fairness, transparency, security, and compliance. The UK Information Commissioner has advised organizations to assess privacy risks before using AI recruitment tools.
