Hiring247.co.za may contain links to third-party websites, including:

  • Employer websites;
  • Recruitment platforms;
  • Government websites;
  • Training providers;
  • Social media platforms;
  • Advertising partners; and

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, policies, or data practices of third-party websites.

When you leave Hiring247.co.za, we recommend reviewing the privacy policy and terms of the website you visit.

A link to an external website does not necessarily mean that Hiring247.co.za endorses, controls, or operates that third-party website.

10. Job Applications and Third-Party Employers

Hiring247.co.za may publish or share information about job opportunities.

In many cases, applications are completed directly through an employer, recruitment agency, government department, or another third-party organisation.

When you click an application link or submit information directly to a third party, that organisation may collect and process your information under its own privacy policy.

Hiring247.co.za is not responsible for how an independent employer, recruiter, company, or external application platform processes information submitted directly to that organisation.

Job seekers should carefully check the destination website before submitting personal information.

11. WhatsApp, Social Media and Communication Platforms

If you contact Hiring247.co.za through WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, email, or another third-party platform, information may also be processed by that platform.

Those services operate under their own privacy policies and terms of service.

We recommend that users avoid sending highly sensitive personal information through public comments or unsecured communication channels.

12. Information Sharing

We may share information in limited circumstances, including:

  • With service providers that help operate our website;
  • With technology, hosting, security, analytics, or communication providers;
  • With advertising and measurement partners where permitted;
  • Where required by law, court order, or lawful government request;
  • To protect the rights, safety, security, and property of Hiring247.co.za or others;
  • To investigate suspected fraud, abuse, security incidents, or unlawful activity; or
  • In connection with a business transfer, restructuring, merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

We do not sell personal information as a business practice.

13. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect information against unauthorised access, misuse, loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no website, online service, electronic communication, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should therefore take reasonable steps to protect your own information, including avoiding the submission of unnecessary sensitive information through public or unsecured channels.

14. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to provide services, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, protect our rights, or fulfil legitimate business purposes.

The length of time information is retained may depend on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

When information is no longer reasonably required, it may be securely deleted, anonymised, or otherwise disposed of where appropriate.

15. Children’s Privacy

Hiring247.co.za is not intentionally designed to collect personal information from children.

We do not knowingly request or intentionally collect personal information from children under the age of 13 for personalised advertising purposes.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that appropriate action can be considered.

Parents and guardians should supervise children’s use of the internet and online services.

Hiring247.co.za is an independent online employment information platform unless expressly stated otherwise.

Users should independently verify vacancies, employers, application instructions, closing dates, and any request for personal information.

Hiring247.co.za does not request users to provide passwords, banking PINs, or unnecessary financial information through this website.

If you encounter suspicious recruitment activity, fraudulent job advertisements, or requests for payment in exchange for employment, exercise caution and report the matter to the relevant organisation or appropriate authority.
