THE JOB LIST PRIVACY POLICY

Effective date: 4 October 2026 Last updated: 4 October 2026

1. INTRODUCTION

The Job List respects the privacy of job seekers, employers, recruiters, website visitors and other users of thejoblist.co.za.

This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used, stored, shared, protected and otherwise processed when you use The Job List website, create an account, build a career profile, upload a CV, apply for a vacancy, create job alerts, post a job, manage applicants, purchase a service or otherwise interact with The Job List.

This Privacy Policy is intended to comply with applicable South African privacy and data-protection legislation, including the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 ("POPIA").

By using the Platform or submitting personal information to us, you acknowledge that your personal information may be processed as described in this Privacy Policy, subject to your rights under applicable law.

This Privacy Policy should be read together with The Job List Terms and Conditions and any additional privacy notice displayed when particular information is collected.

2. DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Privacy Policy:

"The Job List", "we", "us" or "our" means the operator of thejoblist.co.za and the services made available through it.

"Platform" means thejoblist.co.za and the services, systems, functionality and tools made available through it.

"User" means any person who accesses or uses the Platform.

"Job Seeker" means a person who uses the Platform to search for employment, create a career profile, upload or create a CV, save jobs, receive job alerts, express interest in opportunities or submit applications.

"Employer" means any company, organisation, recruitment business, employment agency, representative or other person using the Platform to advertise employment opportunities, receive applications or identify potential candidates.

"Personal Information" has the meaning given to it in POPIA and generally includes information relating to an identifiable natural person and, where applicable under South African law, an identifiable existing juristic person.

"Special Personal Information" means categories of personal information afforded additional protection under POPIA.

"Processing" includes collecting, receiving, recording, organising, storing, updating, retrieving, using, sharing, transmitting, deleting or otherwise handling Personal Information.

"Responsible Party" has the meaning given to it in POPIA and refers to a person who, alone or together with others, determines the purpose and means for processing Personal Information.

"Operator" has the meaning given to it in POPIA and refers to a person who processes Personal Information for a Responsible Party in terms of a mandate or contract without being under the direct authority of that Responsible Party.

3. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

The Job List is generally the Responsible Party for Personal Information that we determine how and why to process for purposes of operating the Platform, maintaining User accounts, providing Platform services, processing transactions, maintaining security and administering our relationship with Users.

When a Job Seeker submits an application to an Employer, The Job List makes the relevant application information available to that Employer for recruitment purposes.

After an Employer receives, accesses, downloads or otherwise processes an applicant's information for its own recruitment purposes, that Employer may become an independent Responsible Party in relation to its own processing of that Personal Information.

Employers are responsible for their own compliance with POPIA and other applicable privacy and employment legislation in relation to applicant information under their control.

4. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT

The Personal Information we collect depends on how you use the Platform.

We may collect information including:

  • names and surnames;
  • email addresses;
  • telephone and mobile numbers;
  • account usernames and identifiers;
  • passwords in protected or hashed form;
  • city, province, location or preferred work location;
  • account type and User role;
  • communication preferences;
  • correspondence with The Job List;
  • information submitted through support or contact forms;
  • application history;
  • saved jobs and searches;
  • job-alert preferences;
  • technical and usage information;
  • payment and transaction information;
  • fraud-prevention and security information; and
  • other information you voluntarily provide through the Platform.

5. JOB SEEKER INFORMATION

If you create a Job Seeker account, career profile, resume or CV, we may process information such as:

  • your name and contact information;
  • city, province or preferred work locations;
  • professional profile or career summary;
  • employment history;
  • job titles and responsibilities;
  • education history;
  • qualifications;
  • professional registrations;
  • licences or certifications;
  • skills;
  • languages;
  • salary expectations where supplied;
  • availability;
  • preferred job types or working arrangements;
  • uploaded CVs and supporting documents;
  • information included in a resume created through the Platform;
  • application history;
  • saved jobs;
  • saved searches;
  • job-alert preferences;
  • screening-question responses; and
  • any other information you choose to include in your profile, CV or application.

Job Seekers should avoid including unnecessary sensitive information in a CV, profile or application unless it is reasonably required for the relevant recruitment process.

6. CVs, RESUMES AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS

The Platform may allow Job Seekers to create a reusable career profile, build a resume, upload a CV or upload other supporting documents.

These documents may contain Personal Information selected and supplied by the Job Seeker.

The Job Seeker is responsible for reviewing documents before uploading or submitting them and should avoid including information that is unnecessary for recruitment purposes.

Where a CV or supporting document is submitted as part of an application, it may be made available to the relevant Employer.

We may retain uploaded CVs and profile information so that a Job Seeker can use them for future applications, subject to account settings, retention requirements and applicable law.

7. JOB APPLICATION INFORMATION

When a Job Seeker applies for a vacancy, we may process and provide the relevant Employer with information including:

  • the Job Seeker's name;
  • contact information;
  • profile information;
  • CV or resume;
  • employment history;
  • education history;
  • qualifications and skills;
  • screening-question responses;
  • supporting documents;
  • application date and status; and
  • other information submitted with the application.

By submitting an application, the Job Seeker requests that The Job List deliver or make the application information available to the relevant Employer for recruitment purposes.

The Employer may then communicate directly with the Job Seeker and may independently process the information for recruitment and employment-related purposes.

8. EMPLOYER AND RECRUITER INFORMATION

If you create or use an Employer or recruiter account, we may collect information including:

  • your name;
  • business email address;
  • telephone number;
  • job title or role;
  • company or organisation name;
  • company contact information;
  • company website;
  • account information;
  • job-listing information;
  • billing and transaction records;
  • information relating to applicants and recruitment activity;
  • correspondence with The Job List; and
  • information reasonably required to verify the Employer or your authority to act on its behalf.

9. EMPLOYER VERIFICATION INFORMATION

To protect Job Seekers and reduce fraudulent recruitment activity, we may request or review information intended to verify an Employer, recruiter or representative.

This may include:

  • company-registration information;
  • business contact information;
  • business email domains;
  • publicly available company information;
  • websites;
  • proof of authority to recruit;
  • recruitment-agency credentials;
  • identification or verification information where reasonably necessary; and
  • information concerning previous activity on the Platform.

Verification information will be processed only to the extent reasonably necessary for legitimate verification, fraud-prevention, legal or Platform-safety purposes.

10. SCREENING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Employers may add screening questions to Job Listings.

When a Job Seeker answers screening questions, those answers may be stored by The Job List and made available to the relevant Employer.

Screening responses may be used by Employers to assist in reviewing applications.

Employers are responsible for ensuring that screening questions and their use comply with applicable employment, equality and privacy laws.

The Job List does not guarantee that screening questions or any associated filtering accurately determine a candidate's suitability for employment.

11. SPECIAL PERSONAL INFORMATION

A Job Seeker may sometimes voluntarily provide information that constitutes or could reveal Special Personal Information under POPIA.

Depending on the information supplied, this could include information concerning:

  • race or ethnic origin;
  • health or disability;
  • religious or philosophical beliefs;
  • trade-union membership;
  • political persuasion;
  • sexual life;
  • biometric information; or
  • criminal behaviour or alleged criminal conduct.

Job Seekers should not provide Special Personal Information unless it is reasonably necessary for a legitimate recruitment purpose or is lawfully requested.

Where The Job List processes Special Personal Information, we will do so only where permitted by POPIA or other applicable law.

Employers receiving Special Personal Information are independently responsible for ensuring that they have a lawful basis and appropriate safeguards for processing it.

12. PERSONAL INFORMATION OF CHILDREN

The Platform is primarily intended for people seeking employment and persons involved in recruitment.

Where Personal Information relating to a child is processed, The Job List will process that information only where permitted by POPIA and other applicable law.

We may restrict, remove or request verification concerning an account where we reasonably believe that Personal Information of a child is being processed unlawfully.

A parent, guardian or competent person may contact us regarding Personal Information of a child where legally entitled to do so.

13. INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY

When you use the Platform, certain technical information may be collected automatically.

This may include:

  • IP address;
  • browser type;
  • device type;
  • operating system;
  • approximate location derived from technical information;
  • pages viewed;
  • links clicked;
  • referral information;
  • date and time of visits;
  • login activity;
  • session information;
  • error and diagnostic information; and
  • other technical information reasonably necessary to operate, secure and improve the Platform.

This information may be used for security, fraud detection, analytics, troubleshooting and Platform improvement.

14. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

The Platform may use cookies and similar technologies to operate website functionality, maintain sessions, remember preferences, improve security, measure website activity and understand how the Platform is used.

Cookies may include:

  • essential cookies required for login, security or core functionality;
  • preference cookies that remember User choices;
  • analytics cookies used to understand Platform usage; and
  • other cookies that may be introduced as Platform features develop.

Where consent is legally required for a particular cookie or technology, we will seek appropriate consent.

Users may be able to control cookies through browser settings. Blocking certain essential cookies may affect Platform functionality.

15. SOURCES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may collect Personal Information:

  • directly from you;
  • from information you enter into the Platform;
  • from documents you upload;
  • from your use of Platform functionality;
  • from Employers or Job Seekers interacting through the Platform;
  • from payment providers;
  • from service providers supporting the Platform;
  • from publicly available sources when reasonably necessary to verify an Employer; and
  • from lawful fraud-prevention, security or verification sources.

Where POPIA requires Personal Information to be collected directly from the Data Subject, we will comply with that requirement unless an applicable exception permits collection from another source.

16. WHY WE PROCESS PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may process Personal Information for purposes including:

  • creating and administering User accounts;
  • authenticating Users;
  • maintaining Job Seeker profiles;
  • storing or creating CVs and resumes;
  • enabling Job Seekers to search for and save jobs;
  • processing job applications;
  • making applications available to relevant Employers;
  • providing application-status functionality;
  • enabling Employers to post Job Listings;
  • enabling Employers to manage applicants;
  • enabling screening questions and applicant review;
  • providing job alerts and saved-search notifications;
  • processing purchases and maintaining transaction records;
  • providing customer support;
  • communicating with Users about accounts and services;
  • verifying Employers and recruiters;
  • detecting and preventing fraud, scams and abuse;
  • protecting Platform and User security;
  • investigating complaints;
  • enforcing our Terms and Conditions;
  • maintaining legal, accounting and operational records;
  • analysing and improving Platform functionality;
  • developing new Platform features;
  • complying with legal and regulatory obligations; and
  • establishing, exercising or defending legal rights.

17. LEGAL GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING

Depending on the circumstances, Personal Information may be processed where:

  • you have consented to the processing;
  • processing is necessary to perform a contract with you or take steps requested by you before entering into a contract;
  • processing is required by law;
  • processing protects a legitimate interest of the Data Subject;
  • processing is necessary for the proper performance of a public-law duty by a public body, where applicable; or
  • processing is necessary for pursuing the legitimate interests of The Job List or a third party to whom information is supplied, provided that the interests and fundamental rights of the Data Subject are appropriately considered.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent subject to applicable law and the consequences of withdrawal.

18. JOB ALERTS AND SAVED SEARCHES

Users may choose to create job alerts or saved searches.

To provide these services, we may process information such as:

  • preferred job titles;
  • keywords;
  • categories;
  • locations;
  • salary preferences;
  • employment types;
  • remote or on-site preferences; and
  • the email address or account to which alerts are sent.

Job alerts are service functionality requested by the User and are distinct from unrelated promotional marketing.

A User may disable or modify job alerts using available account functionality or unsubscribe mechanisms.

19. ACCOUNT AND SERVICE COMMUNICATIONS

We may send communications necessary to administer or provide the Platform, including:

  • account verification messages;
  • password or security notifications;
  • application confirmations;
  • application-status notifications;
  • job alerts requested by the User;
  • Employer applicant notifications;
  • transaction or payment confirmations;
  • changes materially affecting an account or service;
  • fraud or security warnings;
  • support responses; and
  • legally required notices.

Where reasonably necessary to provide a service requested by the User, these communications are not treated as optional promotional marketing.

20. DIRECT MARKETING

The Job List may send marketing or promotional electronic communications only in circumstances permitted by applicable law.

Where POPIA requires consent before electronic direct marketing, we will seek that consent.

Where applicable law permits marketing to an existing customer in relation to our own similar products or services, we may do so subject to the requirements of POPIA and the User's right to object.

Marketing communications will provide an appropriate means to opt out, unsubscribe or request that the communications stop.

A User may withdraw consent to direct marketing or object to direct marketing at any time.

Withdrawing from marketing does not necessarily stop account, transaction, job-alert or service communications that are reasonably required to provide services the User has requested.

21. HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not disclose Personal Information indiscriminately.

Personal Information may be shared where reasonably necessary with:

  • an Employer when a Job Seeker submits an application to that Employer;
  • authorised persons within an Employer account;
  • service providers that support Platform operation;
  • hosting and infrastructure providers;
  • email or communications providers;
  • security, fraud-prevention or verification providers;
  • payment providers;
  • professional advisers where reasonably necessary;
  • regulators, courts or law-enforcement authorities where required or permitted by law;
  • a purchaser, successor or relevant party in connection with a lawful business restructuring, merger or transfer; and
  • other persons where the Data Subject has consented or where disclosure is otherwise permitted by law.

We require service providers processing Personal Information on our behalf to handle it in a manner appropriate to their role and applicable law.

22. SHARING INFORMATION WITH EMPLOYERS

The Job List does not automatically make every Job Seeker's full application information available to every Employer.

Application information is generally made available to the Employer associated with the vacancy to which the Job Seeker has applied or where the Job Seeker has otherwise chosen to make information available through an applicable Platform feature.

The specific Employer receiving an application may access, review and use that information for recruitment purposes.

Employers must not use applicant information obtained through The Job List for unrelated purposes such as selling data, identity theft, unlawful profiling or unrelated direct marketing without a lawful basis.

23. TALENT POOLS AND FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES

The Platform may allow Job Seekers to express interest in future opportunities or talent pools.

Where a Job Seeker chooses to join or respond to such an opportunity, the information submitted may be made available to the Employer associated with the relevant talent pool.

The Employer may retain and consider that information for future recruitment, subject to applicable privacy law, the purpose for which the information was collected and appropriate retention periods.

A future-opportunity submission does not guarantee that a vacancy will become available or that the Job Seeker will be contacted.

24. SERVICE PROVIDERS AND OPERATORS

The Job List may use third-party service providers or Operators to support functions such as:

  • website hosting;
  • database hosting;
  • cloud infrastructure;
  • email delivery;
  • security;
  • backups;
  • payment processing;
  • analytics;
  • technical support;
  • fraud prevention; and
  • other operational services.

These providers may process Personal Information only to the extent reasonably necessary to provide their services or as otherwise permitted by law.

Where a service provider acts as an Operator under POPIA, appropriate contractual and security obligations may be imposed as required by law.

25. PAYMENT INFORMATION

When an Employer or other User purchases a paid service, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment provider.

The payment provider may collect payment-card, banking or other payment information directly in accordance with its own privacy and security requirements.

The Job List may receive and retain transaction-related information such as:

  • payer or account information;
  • amount paid;
  • payment reference;
  • payment status;
  • package or service purchased;
  • transaction date; and
  • information needed for accounting, support, fraud prevention or reconciliation.

We do not require Users to send banking passwords, PINs or one-time passwords to The Job List.

26. WE DO NOT SELL CVs OR APPLICATION INFORMATION

The Job List does not sell Job Seekers' CVs or application information to unrelated third parties as a data product.

Information submitted for recruitment purposes may be made available to Employers as part of the recruitment functionality requested by the Job Seeker.

This does not prevent lawful processing by service providers acting on our behalf, disclosure required by law, or disclosure otherwise expressly authorised by the Data Subject.

27. CROSS-BORDER TRANSFERS

Some service providers, technology systems or infrastructure used to operate the Platform may process or store information outside South Africa.

Where Personal Information is transferred to a third party in another country, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the transfer complies with applicable requirements of POPIA, including where appropriate ensuring that:

  • the recipient is subject to a law, binding corporate rules or agreement providing an adequate level of protection;
  • the Data Subject has consented to the transfer where valid and appropriate;
  • the transfer is necessary for performance of a contract or implementation of pre-contractual measures requested by the Data Subject; or
  • another lawful ground for the transfer applies.

28. INFORMATION RETENTION

We retain Personal Information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and the reason it is processed.

Relevant considerations may include:

  • whether the User has an active account;
  • whether information is required to provide ongoing Platform functionality;
  • application and recruitment requirements;
  • contractual requirements;
  • accounting or tax obligations;
  • fraud-prevention requirements;
  • security requirements;
  • legal limitation periods;
  • dispute resolution;
  • regulatory requirements; and
  • the need to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

When Personal Information is no longer required and there is no lawful basis to retain it, it will be deleted, destroyed or de-identified in an appropriate manner.

29. ACCOUNT CLOSURE AND DELETION

A User may request closure of an account subject to applicable Platform procedures.

Account closure does not necessarily result in immediate deletion of every record associated with the account.

We may retain information where required or permitted for:

  • legal compliance;
  • accounting;
  • fraud prevention;
  • security;
  • dispute resolution;
  • enforcement of our Terms;
  • maintaining records of transactions;
  • legal claims; or
  • another lawful purpose.

Information already lawfully supplied to an Employer through a job application may also remain in that Employer's possession. The Employer is responsible for its own lawful retention and deletion practices.

30. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

The Job List takes reasonable and appropriate technical and organisational measures intended to protect Personal Information against:

  • loss;
  • damage;
  • unauthorised destruction;
  • unlawful access;
  • unauthorised disclosure;
  • unauthorised alteration; and
  • other unlawful processing.

Security measures may include access controls, authentication measures, software and infrastructure protections, backups, monitoring and other measures appropriate to the nature of the information and the risks involved.

No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. Users are also responsible for protecting their account credentials and devices.

31. PASSWORDS AND ACCOUNT SECURITY

Users must keep passwords and login credentials confidential.

You should not disclose your password to another person or use the same password where doing so creates unnecessary security risk.

If you believe your account has been accessed without authority, you should change your password where possible and contact The Job List promptly.

The Job List will never require you to disclose a banking PIN or one-time password in order to use your Job List account.

32. PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURITY COMPROMISES

If there are reasonable grounds to believe that Personal Information has been accessed or acquired by an unauthorised person, The Job List will investigate and take appropriate action.

Where required by POPIA, we will notify the Information Regulator and affected Data Subjects as soon as reasonably possible, subject to lawful restrictions on notification.

Any notification may include information reasonably required by law concerning the nature of the compromise and measures that affected persons may take to protect themselves.

33. YOUR RIGHTS UNDER POPIA

Subject to applicable law, a Data Subject may have rights including the right to:

  • be informed that Personal Information is being collected;
  • know whether The Job List holds Personal Information about them;
  • request access to Personal Information held about them;
  • request correction of inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or outdated information;
  • request deletion or destruction of Personal Information where the legal requirements are met;
  • object to certain processing;
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
  • object to direct marketing;
  • request information concerning third parties who have had access to Personal Information where applicable;
  • lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator; and
  • exercise other rights provided by POPIA or applicable law.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to lawful limitations, verification requirements and retention obligations.

34. REQUESTING ACCESS TO PERSONAL INFORMATION

You may contact us to ask whether we hold Personal Information about you and to request access where entitled to do so.

Access requests may be subject to identity verification and the procedures required by POPIA, the Promotion of Access to Information Act, 2000 ("PAIA"), or other applicable law.

We may refuse or limit access where legislation permits or requires us to do so.

35. CORRECTION OR DELETION REQUESTS

If Personal Information held by The Job List is inaccurate, irrelevant, excessive, outdated, incomplete, misleading or unlawfully obtained, you may request correction or deletion as permitted by POPIA.

We may ask for sufficient information to verify your identity and identify the information concerned.

Deletion requests may be limited where retention remains required or permitted by law, including for legal, security, accounting, fraud-prevention or dispute-resolution purposes.

36. RIGHT TO OBJECT TO PROCESSING

Where POPIA permits a Data Subject to object to processing on reasonable grounds relating to their particular situation, the Data Subject may submit an objection to The Job List.

Where an objection is valid and applicable, we will cease the relevant processing unless continued processing is otherwise permitted or required by law.

37. WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Withdrawal does not invalidate processing lawfully performed before consent was withdrawn.

Withdrawal may affect our ability to provide a feature or service where the relevant information is necessary to provide that service.

38. AUTOMATED PROCESSING AND DECISION-MAKING

The Platform may use automated functionality for purposes such as searching, sorting, filtering, alerts, matching, security or Platform administration.

Employers may also use screening questions or Platform tools to assist in reviewing candidates.

The Job List does not intend automated Platform functionality to make a legally significant employment decision on behalf of an Employer unless the functionality and safeguards required by applicable law are expressly implemented.

Employers remain responsible for their own recruitment and hiring decisions and for ensuring that any automated decision-making they use complies with applicable law.

39. ANALYTICS AND AGGREGATED INFORMATION

We may analyse Platform activity to understand usage, improve functionality, measure performance and develop services.

Where reasonably possible, information used for statistical or analytical purposes may be aggregated or de-identified so that it does not directly identify an individual.

Information that has been properly de-identified so that it can no longer reasonably identify a Data Subject may fall outside certain requirements applicable to identifiable Personal Information.

40. FRAUD PREVENTION AND PLATFORM SAFETY

We may process Personal Information to detect, investigate and prevent:

  • fake job listings;
  • recruitment scams;
  • identity theft;
  • phishing;
  • account compromise;
  • payment fraud;
  • unauthorised scraping;
  • abuse of applicant information;
  • unlawful Platform use; and
  • other security threats.

Where reasonably necessary, relevant information may be preserved or disclosed to law-enforcement authorities, regulators, professional advisers or other appropriate persons in accordance with applicable law.

41. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

The Platform may contain links to Employer websites, external application systems, payment providers, social-media platforms or other third-party websites.

The Job List does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.

When you leave The Job List or submit information directly to another service, that third party's own privacy policy and terms may apply.

Users should review the privacy practices of third-party services before submitting Personal Information to them.

42. EMPLOYER RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER POPIA

Employers using The Job List must handle applicant Personal Information lawfully.

An Employer receiving applicant information should, where applicable:

  • process it only for legitimate recruitment and closely related employment purposes;
  • restrict access to persons who reasonably require it;
  • protect it against unauthorised access or disclosure;
  • keep it accurate where necessary;
  • not retain it longer than lawfully required;
  • respect applicable Data Subject rights;
  • avoid unlawful discrimination or profiling;
  • not sell applicant information;
  • not use it for unrelated marketing without a lawful basis; and
  • comply with POPIA and other applicable legislation.

The Job List is not responsible for determining an Employer's independent legal obligations once the Employer processes applicant information for its own purposes.

43. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:

  • Platform functionality;
  • our processing practices;
  • technology;
  • legal requirements;
  • regulatory guidance; or
  • security practices.

The current version will be published on the Platform with an updated "Last updated" date.

Where a material change significantly affects how existing Personal Information is processed, additional notice may be provided where reasonably appropriate or legally required.

44. CONTACTING THE JOB LIST ABOUT PRIVACY

Questions, requests, objections or complaints relating to this Privacy Policy or the processing of Personal Information may be sent to:

The Job List Website: https://thejoblist.co.za/ Email: connect@thejoblist.co.za

When submitting a privacy request, please provide enough information for us to identify the relevant account, record or processing activity.

We may need to verify your identity before providing access to, correcting or deleting Personal Information.

45. INFORMATION OFFICER AND FORMAL POPIA REQUESTS

POPIA and PAIA provide for certain responsibilities to be performed by an organisation's Information Officer and, where applicable, Deputy Information Officers.

Formal POPIA or PAIA requests may be subject to prescribed procedures and forms.

Where The Job List publishes separate Information Officer details or a PAIA Manual, those details should be used for formal statutory requests where applicable.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits a Data Subject's right to use a legally prescribed process.

46. COMPLAINTS TO THE INFORMATION REGULATOR

If you believe that your Personal Information has been processed in a manner that infringes POPIA, you may raise the matter with The Job List so that we have an opportunity to investigate and respond.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa.

Current Information Regulator contact details include:

Information Regulator (South Africa) Woodmead North Office Park 54 Maxwell Drive Woodmead Johannesburg South Africa

Telephone: 010 023 5200 Toll Free: 0800 017 160 Email: enquiries@inforegulator.org.za Website: https://inforegulator.org.za/

The Information Regulator's contact details may change from time to time. Users should refer to the Regulator's official website for the latest information.

47. GOVERNING LAW

This Privacy Policy and the processing of Personal Information by The Job List are governed by applicable laws of the Republic of South Africa.

Relevant legislation may include:

  • the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013;
  • the Promotion of Access to Information Act, 2000;
  • the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, 2002;
  • the Consumer Protection Act, 2008; and
  • other applicable South African legislation.

48. ACCEPTANCE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

By using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have had an opportunity to read this Privacy Policy.

Where consent is legally required for a particular form of processing, use of the Platform alone will not replace any specific consent that applicable law requires us to obtain.

The Job List will process Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, applicable law and any additional privacy notice that applies to a specific Platform feature.
