Protection of Personal Information (POPIA) – South Africa
At All Care Centre, accessible at www.allcarecentre.com, we are committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 4 of 2013 (POPIA) of South Africa. This page explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data when you interact with our platform. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy, even thou we always encourage users to read and fully understand how their information is handled.
POPIA was introduced to promote the protection of personal information processed by public and private bodies. It establishes conditions that ensure personal information is handled responsibly, transparently, and securely. As a platform that connects job seekers with employment opportunities, All Care Centre recognizes the importance of maintaining trust and ensuring that your personal data is treated with care and respect at all times.
1. What is Personal Information
Personal information refers to any information that can identify you as an individual. This may include your name, surname, contact details, email address, phone number, identity number, and any other information you may provide when contacting us or interacting with the website. In some cases, it may also include information related to your employment history or job preferences if you choose to share such details with us.
We aim to only collect information that is necessary for the purpose it is intended for, and we do not collect excessive or irrelevant personal data.
2. How We Collect Personal Information
All Care Centre may collect personal information in the following ways:
- When you contact us via email or WhatsApp
- When you submit inquiries through our website
- When you interact with any forms available on the platform
- When you voluntarily provide your information for communication purposes
It is important to note that we do not require users to create accounts or submit CVs directly on our website. Most job applications are conducted through third-party platforms or employers, and therefore, any personal information submitted during job applications is handled by those external parties.
3. Purpose of Collecting Personal Information
We collect and process personal information for the following purposes:
- To respond to your inquiries and provide support
- To improve our website and user experience
- To communicate important updates or information when necessary
- To maintain proper records of communication
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Your data is used strictly for the purposes outlined above.
4. Sharing of Personal Information
All Care Centre does not share your personal information with third parties except in the following circumstances:
- When required by law or legal processes
- When necessary to protect our legal rights
- When you have given explicit consent
Since we act as a platform that redirects users to external job listings, you may be required to provide personal information directly to employers or third-party websites. We do not control how those third parties handle your information, and we strongly advise users to review their privacy policies before submitting any personal data.
5. Data Security
We take reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal information against loss, unauthorized access, misuse, or alteration. While we strive to protect your data, no system is completely secure, and users should also take precautions when sharing personal information online.
We encourage users to avoid sharing sensitive information such as banking details or identity numbers unless absolutely necessary and only with verified and trusted entities.
6. Data Retention
Personal information is only retained for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. Once the information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or destroyed in accordance with applicable laws and best practices.
7. Your Rights Under POPIA
As a data subject, you have the following rights under POPIA:
- The right to access your personal information
- The right to request correction or deletion of your data
- The right to object to the processing of your personal information
- The right to withdraw consent at any time
- The right to lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa
