Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect:

• Account details such as your name, email, phone number, password, and chosen role (worker, employer, professional, merchant, or client).
• Verification records (government-issued ID documents such as NIN slip, driver’s licence, or international passport) submitted to unlock hiring, consultation, or merchant tools.
• Employment and marketplace data including job posts, applications, consultation session metadata, merchant media uploads, plan selections, and reviews.
• Payment references (transaction IDs, billing contact, Paystack tokens). We never store raw card numbers — all card data is handled exclusively by Paystack.
• Consultation session metadata: session duration, timestamps, and payment references. We do not record or store the content of consultation messages beyond your active session.
• Marketplace analytics events such as profile views, WhatsApp/Instagram clicks, browser type, and approximate location.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Verify your identity before you can post jobs, book consultations, or publish marketplace listings.
• Publish job ads, consultation profiles, merchant galleries, and manage the payments or refunds tied to them.
• Display aggregated analytics (views, WhatsApp taps, Instagram taps) to the merchant who owns that profile.
• Improve user experience, monitor fraud, and comply with NDPR/card-industry requirements.
• Send essential notifications about hires, consultations, marketplace plans, and policy updates. Marketing emails remain optional.

3. Data Protection

• All IDs, licences, and payout details are encrypted at rest and in transit.
• Only a restricted compliance team can view verification files; marketplace analytics are aggregated before display.
• We never sell personal information and retain data only while your account is active or for the statutory audit period.
• Merchant analytics can be reset or deleted once your campaign ends—simply email the privacy team.

4. Third-Party Services

We rely on vetted partners to deliver the platform:

• Paystack — all payment processing. Paystack is PCI-DSS compliant. Your card details are never transmitted to or stored by Sirius Jobs.
• Render / cloud hosting — backend API and database hosting.
• Vercel — frontend hosting.
• MongoDB Atlas — encrypted database storage.

Each provider operates under data processing agreements and only receives the minimum data required. We do not use Flutterwave or Stripe.

5. User Rights

You have the right to:

• Access, correct, or export the information we hold about you.
• Request deletion of your account, verification documents, or marketplace analytics (subject to legal retention rules).
• Opt out of marketing communication while still receiving essential platform updates.
• Email privacy@siriusjobsng.com for any data-related questions.

6. NDPR Compliance

Sirius Jobs adheres to the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR). We process data lawfully, keep detailed audit logs, and only transfer information outside Nigeria when equivalent protection is guaranteed.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Material changes will be announced via email or in-app notification before they take effect. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

8. Marketplace Analytics & Cookies

We use first-party cookies and local storage to keep you signed in, remember dashboard filters, and log marketplace interactions such as profile views, WhatsApp clicks, and Instagram clicks. These events are only tied to the vendor ID on your account. You can clear cookies from your browser at any time or request that we wipe historic analytics when a campaign ends.
