Depending on how you use the service, we may collect information including your name, email address, province, professional role, CV and information contained in your CV, job-search preferences, application activity and information required to operate the service.

3. Google and Gmail Access

If you connect your Gmail account, ApplyWhileYouSleep may process the information and permissions necessary to perform the functionality you have requested, including assisting with job application workflows.

We do not sell your Google or Gmail information. Access is used only to provide the functionality of the service and is subject to the permissions granted by you.

We use personal information to create and operate your account, process your CV and preferences, identify relevant employment opportunities, facilitate application workflows, communicate with you about the service, maintain service security and improve ApplyWhileYouSleep.

5. Third-Party Services

ApplyWhileYouSleep relies on third-party infrastructure and service providers to operate certain parts of the platform. These may include cloud hosting, database, file-storage, authentication, email and other technology providers.

Information may therefore be processed by service providers acting on our behalf where necessary to provide the service.

6. International Processing

Some of our technology and service providers may process or store information outside South Africa. Where applicable, we take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is handled in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements.

7. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

8. Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to operate the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

9. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including rights to request access to, correction or deletion of personal information and to object to certain forms of processing.

South African users may have additional rights under the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA).
