Privacy policy

Who this policy covers

This policy explains how Nira Talent Co. (“Nira,” “we,” “us”) handles personal data collected through niratalent.com. Nira is a South African company. Its business-support professionals are based in South Africa; its clients are businesses located worldwide. That combination shapes the rest of this page — South African law governs how we handle data, and we describe below what that means when a client is based elsewhere.

What we collect

The site runs three forms: a general enquiry form, a talent application form, and a quote request form. Between them, the personal data we collect is limited to what those forms ask for — typically name, email address, and optionally company name, country and a message describing what you need. The talent application form additionally accepts a CV upload from applicants. We do not collect anything beyond what a form field asks for, and we do not run tracking scripts that build a profile of visitors independent of a form submission.

How we use it

Form submissions are emailed to Nira’s team and used to respond to the enquiry, application or quote request that generated them — to get in touch, assess a role or a candidate, or prepare the information asked for. We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes. Submissions are retained only for as long as is reasonably needed to handle the request and any engagement that follows from it.

Where it’s processed

Because Nira’s team and infrastructure are based in South Africa, data submitted through these forms may be processed and stored there, and the site itself is hosted on Cloudflare’s global network. If you are submitting data from outside South Africa — including from the UK or the EU — this means your data crosses a border to reach us. We take reasonable steps to keep it secure in transit and at rest, in line with the obligations described below.

The law that applies

Nira handles personal data in accordance with South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA), which is the law that governs how a South African company processes personal information. Where a client or visitor is themselves subject to the UK GDPR or the EU GDPR — because they are based in the UK or EU — we recognize that those frameworks give you rights over your own data, and we aim to honor requests made under them in substance, even though Nira is not a business established in the UK or EU. Nothing on this page should be read as a claim that Nira holds a certification of compliance with POPIA, UK GDPR or EU GDPR; it is a description of what we actually do.

Your rights

• Ask what personal data we hold about you
• Ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Ask us to delete data we no longer need to hold
• Withdraw consent for us to hold your data, where consent is the basis for holding it
• Ask a question about how your data has been used

To exercise any of these, contact us at hello@niratalent.com. We do not have a named information officer to publish at this stage; the same address reaches the team responsible for handling these requests, and further detail is available on request.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data submitted through our forms against loss, misuse and unauthorized access, including relying on Cloudflare’s infrastructure for the site itself. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we can’t guarantee absolute security — but we do treat what you send us as something worth protecting, not as a throwaway data point.

How long we keep it

We keep form submissions for as long as reasonably needed to respond to the enquiry, application or quote request, and for any period after that during which an engagement growing out of it is being discussed or delivered. Where a submission doesn’t lead anywhere — an enquiry that goes unanswered, an application we don’t take forward — we don’t have a reason to keep it indefinitely.

Children’s privacy

This site and its forms are intended for businesses and working professionals. We don’t knowingly collect personal data from children, and the forms aren’t directed at them.

Cookies

This policy covers form data specifically. What the site sets in your browser is covered separately on the cookie policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site or the forms it runs change. The date at the top of this page reflects the version currently in effect.

This page is provided for information and does not constitute legal advice. Where a client’s signed service agreement addresses data handling differently from what is described here, the signed agreement governs that engagement.
