• employers or recruitment partners;
• publicly available sources where lawful.

We do not require sensitive personal data unless it is necessary and lawful for a specific purpose.

Sensitive data may include information relating to health, biometrics, religion, ethnicity, political views, trade union membership, criminal records, or other data protected by law.

Please avoid submitting sensitive data unless it is specifically requested for a lawful reason.

We may use personal data to:

• provide and operate the Services;
• create and manage accounts;
• publish and display profiles, resumes, and job posts;
• connect employers and candidates;
• process payments and subscriptions;
• send notifications, updates, and support messages;
• prevent fraud, abuse, spam, and unauthorized access;
• personalize content and improve user experience;
• analyze usage and performance;
• comply with legal obligations;
• enforce our Terms and protect our rights.

Where required by law, we rely on appropriate legal bases such as:

• your consent;
• performance of a contract;
• compliance with a legal obligation;
• our legitimate interests, such as operating and securing the platform;
• other lawful bases recognized under applicable data protection laws.

We may share personal data with:

• employers, recruiters, or candidates when you choose to apply, post, or communicate through the platform;
• service providers that help us run the Services, such as hosting, analytics, payment, email, support, and security vendors;
• professional advisers, auditors, or legal counsel;
• regulators, law enforcement, or courts where required by law;
• third parties in connection with a business transfer, merger, reorganization, or sale of assets.

We do not sell personal data in a way that would conflict with applicable law or our published commitments.

Because NaijaRemoteJobs is a job board, certain information may be visible to others by design.

For example:

• your candidate profile may be visible to employers if you choose to make it discoverable;
• your job post may display company information and contact details;
• messages you send to employers may be visible to the recipient;
• application details may be shared with the relevant employer.

Please only upload information you are comfortable sharing with prospective employers or candidates.

We may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to:

• keep you signed in;
• remember preferences;
• measure traffic and usage;
• improve performance;
• support security and fraud prevention;
• enable certain embedded or third-party services.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features.

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may depend on:

• account activity;
• subscription or billing needs;
• legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory requirements;
• dispute resolution;
• fraud prevention and platform safety.

When data is no longer needed, we will delete, anonymize, or archive it securely where appropriate.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, such as access controls, encryption where appropriate, logging, monitoring, backups, and administrative safeguards.

However, no online system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Because our users, employers, service providers, or infrastructure may be located in different countries, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside your own.

Where required, we take appropriate steps to support lawful cross-border transfers and appropriate safeguards.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• access your personal data;
• request correction or update of inaccurate data;
• request deletion in certain circumstances;
• object to or restrict certain processing;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• request a copy of your data in a portable format where applicable;
• lodge a complaint with a regulator.

To exercise your rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

We may send you service messages, newsletters, product updates, job alerts, or promotional emails.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in the message or by contacting us. We may still send non-marketing messages related to your account, payments, security, or legal notices.

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties.

We encourage you to review their privacy policies before using them.

Our Services are not intended for children below the age where they can lawfully enter into the relevant service relationship without consent, unless a parent, guardian, or legally responsible adult is involved as permitted by law.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without the required legal basis. If you believe a child has submitted data to us unlawfully, contact us so we can review and act appropriately.

You may be able to:

• edit your account details;
• hide or delete your profile information;
• manage email preferences;
• control cookies through your browser;
• close your account;
• request deletion or export where legally available.

Some information may remain in backups, logs, or records where required for legitimate business or legal reasons.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version and update the effective date. Continued use of the Services after the update means you accept the revised Policy.
