1. Introduction

We respect your privacy. This policy describes the categories of information we may collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices available to you. If you do not agree with this policy, please discontinue use of the site.

2. Who is responsible

Africa Jobs Network is the controller of personal data processed in connection with operating this website, subject to the role of any processors we appoint (for example hosting or analytics providers acting on our instructions).

3. Information we may collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may process:

  • Technical and usage data: such as IP address, browser type, device type, general location derived from IP, pages viewed, referring URLs, and timestamps.
  • Communications: if you contact us, we process the information you provide (for example name, email address, and the content of your message) to respond and to manage the relationship.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: as described in the section below.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies to create the most secure and effective website possible for our customers. Full details can be found in this policy and in your browser settings, which you can use to restrict or delete cookies where supported.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them for purposes such as remembering preferences, maintaining security, understanding how the site is used, and improving performance. We may use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a defined period or until deleted).

Examples of categories we may employ include:

  • Strictly necessary: required for core functionality and security.
  • Analytics and performance: to measure traffic and improve content and user experience.
  • Functional: to remember choices you make (such as language or region) where applicable.

Where required by law, we will obtain consent before using non-essential cookies and provide a way to withdraw consent.

5. How we use information

We use the information above to:

  • Provide, secure, and improve the website;
  • Understand usage patterns and diagnose technical issues;
  • Respond to inquiries and communicate with you where you have contacted us;
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect our legitimate interests, including fraud prevention and network security.

We rely on appropriate legal bases under applicable law, which may include consent (where required), performance of a contract, legitimate interests (balanced against your rights), or legal obligation.

6. Sharing and international transfers

We may share information with service providers who assist us with hosting, analytics, security, and communications, under contracts that require appropriate protection of personal data. We may also disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of AJN, our users, or others.

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where we transfer personal data across borders, we implement safeguards consistent with applicable data protection requirements.

7. Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law (for example record-keeping, dispute resolution, or enforcement of agreements).

8. Security

We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; we encourage you to use strong passwords and secure channels when contacting us.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, to object to certain processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise applicable rights, please contact us using the details on our Contact page. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

10. Children

This website is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect material changes, and we may provide additional notice where required by law. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
