Privacy Policy

At The Human Edge, we are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information responsibly. As the specialist technical recruitment division of EHI Africa, we process personal information in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 4 of 2013 (POPIA). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and safeguard the information you provide when using our website or engaging with our recruitment services.

​

When you contact us, submit an enquiry or apply for a position, we may collect personal information including your name, email address, telephone number, employment history, qualifications, curriculum vitae (CV), professional references and any other information you choose to provide. We may also collect limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type and website usage data through cookies and similar technologies to help improve your experience on our website.

​

Your personal information is collected for the purpose of providing recruitment and talent acquisition services, responding to enquiries, matching candidates with suitable employment opportunities, maintaining our candidate database, communicating with you throughout the recruitment process, improving our services and complying with applicable legal and regulatory obligations. We only process personal information where there is a lawful basis for doing so and only for purposes that are relevant to our business.

​

As part of our recruitment services, we may share your information with prospective employers or clients where it is necessary to assess your suitability for a position. We may also share information with trusted service providers who support our operations or where disclosure is required by law. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. While every effort is made to safeguard the information entrusted to us, no method of transmitting or storing data electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

​

Your personal information will only be retained for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal obligations or to consider you for future employment opportunities. If you no longer wish to remain in our candidate database, you may request that your personal information be updated or removed, subject to any legal or regulatory requirements that require us to retain certain records.

​

In accordance with POPIA, you have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate information, object to certain processing activities where applicable, withdraw consent where consent forms the basis of processing, or request the deletion of your personal information. We are committed to responding to such requests in accordance with applicable legislation.
