3. Applicable Data Protection Law

Where applicable, we process personal information in accordance with the Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843) of Ghana and other applicable privacy and data-protection requirements.

The Ghana Data Protection Commission states that organisations processing personal data should implement appropriate safeguards, inform individuals about their data-processing activities, and respect applicable data-subject rights.

Where users access GhanaRecruitment.org from other jurisdictions, additional privacy laws may apply depending on the circumstances.

4. Information We May Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with GhanaRecruitment.org.

You may voluntarily provide information when you:

• Contact us;

We encourage users not to provide unnecessary sensitive personal information.

5. Job Application Information

GhanaRecruitment.org primarily provides recruitment and job-vacancy information.

Many vacancies may direct users to apply through an external:

• Employer website;
• Recruitment portal;
• Email address;
• Application form;
• Career website;
• Government portal; or
• Other third-party service.

When you submit an application directly to an employer or third-party website, GhanaRecruitment.org may not receive or control the information you submit.

Your personal information will instead be subject to the privacy policy and data-processing practices of the relevant employer, recruiter, or third-party platform.

We strongly encourage applicants to review the privacy practices of any organisation before providing personal information.

6. CVs, Résumés and Employment Documents

Unless a particular GhanaRecruitment.org service expressly allows users to submit CVs, résumés, certificates, application documents, or similar information directly to us, applicants should not assume that GhanaRecruitment.org receives or stores documents submitted to third-party employers.

If we introduce functionality that allows CVs or other recruitment documents to be submitted directly through GhanaRecruitment.org, those documents may contain information such as:

• Full name;
• Contact information;
• Employment history;
• Educational history;
• Professional qualifications;
• References;
• Skills; and
• Other information voluntarily included by the applicant.

Such information would be processed only for appropriate purposes connected with the relevant service and subject to this Privacy Policy.

We do not control the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.

You should review their privacy policies before submitting personal information.

• Email delivery providers;
• Security providers;

information associated with the website may be transferred as part of that transaction where permitted by law.

Any subsequent processing should remain subject to applicable privacy requirements.

The Ghana Data Protection Commission states that data controllers should take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal-data integrity and prevent unlawful or unauthorised access or processing.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can guarantee absolute security.

• Investigating the incident;

28. Your Privacy Rights

Subject to applicable law and relevant exceptions, you may have rights regarding personal information we hold about you.

Under Ghana’s Data Protection Act, data subjects have protections relating to access, correction, objection, consent, direct marketing, complaints, and certain forms of automated decision-making.

These may include:

Right to Be Informed

You may have the right to know what personal information is being collected and why it is being processed.

Right of Access

You may request information about personal data we hold concerning you.

Right to Correction

You may request correction of information that is inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or outdated.

You may object to certain processing activities where permitted by law.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent.

Withdrawal does not necessarily affect processing that lawfully occurred before consent was withdrawn.

Direct Marketing Rights

You may request that we stop using your information for direct marketing.

Right to Complain

You may raise concerns with us regarding our processing of your information and, where appropriate, lodge a complaint with the relevant data-protection authority.

29. Exercising Your Rights

To exercise an applicable privacy right, contact us using:

Email: [INSERT PRIVACY EMAIL]

Please include sufficient information to help us:

• Identify you;
• Understand your request; and
• Locate the relevant information.

We may request reasonable evidence of identity before disclosing or modifying personal information.

This helps prevent another person from improperly accessing your information.

Requests will be handled within the period required under applicable law.

30. Complaints to the Ghana Data Protection Commission

If you believe your personal information has been processed unlawfully or your data-protection rights have been violated, you may contact GhanaRecruitment.org first so that we can attempt to resolve your concern.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with Ghana’s Data Protection Commission (DPC).

The Commission identifies itself as the regulatory authority responsible for enforcing Ghana’s data-protection framework.

31. Children’s Privacy

GhanaRecruitment.org is primarily intended for people searching for employment and career-related information.

We do not knowingly seek to collect unnecessary personal information from children.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us improperly, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.

32. Sensitive Personal Information

We encourage users not to send sensitive personal information to GhanaRecruitment.org unless specifically necessary and supported by an appropriate service.

In particular, you should avoid unnecessarily sending:

• Passwords;
• Banking PINs;
• Credit or debit card PINs;
• One-time passwords;
• Authentication codes;
• Online banking passwords; or
• Other confidential account credentials.

GhanaRecruitment.org will never need your banking password or PIN in order for you to view a job vacancy.

Applicants should also be cautious if an unknown recruiter requests unusually sensitive personal or financial information.

33. Recruitment Fraud

Fraudsters may sometimes impersonate genuine employers, recruiters, organisations, or job websites.

We encourage users to carefully verify recruitment communications before providing personal information.

Be particularly cautious about requests involving:

• Unexpected recruitment fees;
• Payments to private individuals;
• Bank-login information;
• OTP codes;
• Credit or debit card PINs;
• Transfers of money;
• Suspicious identity-document requests; or
• Offers that appear misleading or unusually unrealistic.

If you identify a potentially fraudulent listing on GhanaRecruitment.org, please contact us so that we can investigate.

34. Social Media

GhanaRecruitment.org may maintain accounts or pages on platforms such as:

• Facebook;
• LinkedIn;
• Telegram;
• WhatsApp;
• X;
• Instagram; or
• Other social platforms.

When you interact with us through third-party platforms, those platforms may independently process personal information according to their own privacy policies.

We do not control the data-processing practices of those platforms.

35. Embedded Content

Pages on GhanaRecruitment.org may occasionally contain embedded content from third-party websites.

Examples could include:

• Videos;
• Social-media posts;
• Maps;
• Application forms;
• Documents; or
• Other interactive content.

Embedded content may behave similarly to visiting the third-party website directly and may collect information according to the third party’s privacy practices.

36. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers provide “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signals.

Because there is not necessarily a single universally implemented standard governing all such signals, our response may depend on the technologies, providers, and applicable legal requirements involved.

Users can also manage cookies and advertising preferences through their browser and relevant third-party settings.

37. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in:

• Our website;
• Services;
• Advertising arrangements;
• Technology;
• Data-processing activities;
• Security practices;
• Legal requirements; or
• Regulatory guidance.

When this Privacy Policy is materially updated, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will be revised.

We encourage users to review this page periodically.
