GDPR & POPIA Compliance

At Jobs With Derick, we are committed to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including:

  • The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) of South Africa
  • The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union (where applicable)

Although we operate primarily within South Africa, we recognise that visitors from other jurisdictions may access our website. We therefore aim to apply responsible data protection standards that promote transparency, fairness, and accountability.

  • Ensure personal information is accurate and updated where required
  • Safeguard personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, or disclosure
  • Retain personal information only for as long as necessary

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

Where personal data is collected (such as through contact forms or email communication), it is used strictly for communication and service-related purposes.

These third parties may collect data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of such providers.
