4. Candidate Registration and Recruitment Database

AfroCareer may invite job seekers and professionals to register through online forms so that we can maintain a database of potential candidates.

Information collected may include contact details, location, education, work experience, skills, qualifications, and other information requested in the registration form.

We may use this information to assess professional profiles, identify potentially suitable candidates, and support recruitment activities.

Registering as a candidate does not guarantee employment, an interview, or placement.

Please ensure that the information you provide is accurate and that you have permission to share any third-party information included in your application.

5. Sharing Candidate Information with Employers

Where appropriate, AfroCareer may share relevant candidate information with prospective employers or authorised recruitment partners to assess suitability for a vacancy or recruitment assignment.

We aim to share information that is relevant to the recruitment purpose rather than unnecessary personal details.

Where required by law, we will obtain the necessary consent before sharing candidate information.

Submitting a registration form does not mean that your information will automatically be sent to every employer. Sharing should be limited to appropriate recruitment purposes and handled in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.

Employers who receive candidate information are responsible for handling it lawfully and using it for legitimate recruitment purposes.

We do not sell candidate personal information as a commercial product.

Please ensure that you are authorised to submit information on behalf of your organisation and that any personal information about other individuals is shared lawfully.

10. External Websites and Application Portals

Our website may contain links to employers, scholarship providers, educational institutions, online learning platforms, application portals, and other third-party websites.

When you click an external link, you leave AfroCareer and become subject to the destination website's privacy practices and terms.

We do not control how independent third-party websites collect or process personal information. Please review their privacy policies before submitting applications, uploading documents, creating accounts, or making payments.

11. How We Store and Protect Information

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.

Information may be stored using service providers such as Google Forms, Google Sheets, email services, and other tools used to operate AfroCareer.

Access to candidate and employer information should be limited to authorised individuals who need it for legitimate operational or recruitment purposes.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Please avoid sending confidential information through unsecured channels and notify us if you believe information submitted to AfroCareer has been misused.

12. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

For example, we may retain:

• Candidate records while they remain relevant to recruitment activities.
• Employer enquiries while we manage recruitment requests and related business records.
• Mailing-list information until you unsubscribe or the information is no longer required.
• Relevant records for legal, security, or administrative purposes where necessary.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

We will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise information when it is no longer required, subject to applicable legal obligations and legitimate recordkeeping needs.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information inappropriately, please contact us so we can review the situation and take appropriate action.

15. International Data Transfers

Where applicable, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that such processing complies with relevant data protection requirements and that appropriate safeguards are used when required by law.
