Introduction

In terms of POPI, a “Responsible Party” (in this case the Company) has a legal duty to process a “Data Subject’s” Personal Information (in this case your personal information and related details) in a lawful, legitimate and responsible way.

To do this, we require your express and informed permission.

If you refuse to give this consent, we still have the right, in terms of POPI, to process your information without your consent in cases:

  • where this is necessary to effect a contractual relationship between us;

  • where this is required by law; or

  • where this is necessary to protect our legitimate interests.

 

Purpose for Collection
The reason we require your Personal Information is so that we can:

​

Voluntary

  • find you employment and, to this end, make your information available for searching and matching with job opportunities across the Company;

  • perform checks on job history, criminal record, educational / skills qualifications / registrations / licences and credit history (where this is required and as permitted by the NCA);

  • refer you as a candidate for employment with client companies or employ you as staff within our own environment;

  • notify you of our goods, services and offerings (subject to your right to opt out of such communication); and/or

 

Mandatory

  • comply with labour, tax and financial legislation;

  • conclude a contract with you;

  • keep records in line with the Basic Conditions of Employment Act and other applicable laws; and/or

  • report to government in terms of the applicable laws.

 

All Personal Information you provide to us will only be used for the purposes it is collected for.

Once this information is no longer needed, it will be safely and securely archived for 7 years, as per the Companies Act, 71 of 2008. Then it will be permanently destroyed.

 

Right to Object
In terms of S11(3) of the POPI, you have the right to object to the Company processing your Personal Information. On receipt of your objection we will stop any further processing until the cause of your objection has been resolved.
