Updated 9 September 2026. This Privacy Statement explains how ProdigiNet collects, uses, stores, processes, and protects personal information submitted through the recruitment platform in accordance with applicable South African legislation.
We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy and personal information. By using this website, submitting information, applying for vacancies, purchasing services, or interacting with the platform, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Statement. This statement is intended to align with POPIA, PAIA, and applicable regulatory and recruitment-related requirements.
ProdigiNet is an online recruitment portal focused on connecting employers, recruiters, and jobseekers within the information technology, telecommunications, digital, and related professional sectors. We aim to provide a professional, secure, and quality-controlled recruitment environment.
We may collect jobseeker, employer, recruiter, and technical information when users register, upload CVs, apply for jobs, buy recruitment services, use video or telephonic services, complete online forms, or interact with the website.
Personal information may be processed to facilitate recruitment services, publish job advertisements, process candidate applications, support communication between employers and candidates, provide customer support, administer accounts, conduct verification, prevent fraud, monitor security, improve services, and comply with legal obligations.
The platform may facilitate the vetting and verification of candidate certifications and qualifications. Such verification is conducted only for shortlisted candidates and strictly with their explicit consent.
Verification is performed by validating credentials directly with recognized certification bodies and training institutions. Employers acknowledge that verified credentials are based on information provided by external certification authorities, and the platform facilitates this process without assuming liability for the accuracy of third-party records.
In compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and guidance from the Information Regulator, all personal data collected for verification purposes will be securely deleted once the verification process is complete and results have been communicated. This ensures that candidate information is not retained beyond its lawful purpose, safeguarding privacy and reinforcing responsible data management practices.
To maintain platform integrity and candidate trust, employers may undergo verification before advertisements are approved. Verification may include company registration confirmation, website verification, contact detail confirmation, and industry-related validation. We may reject or remove advertisements that appear misleading, unlawful, fraudulent, discriminatory, or inconsistent with platform standards.
We are committed to responsible processing aligned with POPIA principles including accountability, lawful processing, transparency, information quality, security safeguards, and responsible data handling. Reasonable technical and organisational safeguards are used to help protect personal information against unauthorised access, misuse, loss, disclosure, or unlawful processing. We do not sell personal information to third parties.
Information may be shared between employers and candidates for recruitment purposes, with authorised service providers, where legally required, or where necessary to protect the platform, users, or legal rights. By applying for vacancies or submitting information, users acknowledge that relevant information may be shared with prospective employers or recruiters.
Jobseekers remain responsible for keeping CV and profile information accurate and current. The website may use cookies or similar technologies to improve functionality, analyse usage, and support performance. Information may be retained for operational purposes, recruitment administration, legal compliance, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, record keeping, and quality assurance. Retention periods may vary based on legal and operational requirements.
Where applicable, telephonic conversations, support interactions, and video interview services may be recorded or monitored for quality assurance, training, verification, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, operational administration, security, and service improvement. Video interview services may involve processing audio, video, communication content, and interview-related information for legitimate recruitment and operational purposes.
Users are responsible for maintaining account credential confidentiality, providing accurate information, protecting login details, and using the platform responsibly. The platform may link to third-party websites or services, but we are not responsible for external privacy practices, content, or data handling policies.
While reasonable efforts are made to protect information, no electronic platform can guarantee absolute security. We may amend this Privacy Statement at any time, with updates becoming effective on publication. This Privacy Statement is governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Privacy-related enquiries may be submitted through the official communication channels provided on the website.
Profile and hiring data is used to operate recruitment and job matching features.
