INTRODUCTION
We value the trust our users and customers place in us when they give us access to their personal data. The Privacy Policy describes how we work to maintain that trust and protect that information.
In particular, this Privacy Policy details our collection, use and disclosure of personal and non-personal data you give to Indeed when you access or use http://haystackafrica.com (the “Site”).
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
– “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
– “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
– “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, phone number and any other information collected by our payment gateway. We refer to this information as “Order Information”.
We may also collect information from you when you create an account, such as: your curriculum vitae/resume, your university transcripts, your university degrees, your date of birth, your employment history, or other information we may ask from time to time. We refer to this information as “Other Information”.
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information, Order Information and Other Information.
LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES
The Site may make available links to other websites. When you click on such links, you may leave our Site. The Site may also make available Company Pages, which may contain information provided by third-party Employers.
WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INFORMATION COLLECTION, USE, DISCLOSURE OR OTHER PRIVACY PRACTICES OF ANY THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING OUR AFFILIATES, THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, ANY EMPLOYERS (INCLUDING ANY EMPLOYER THAT PROVIDES A COMPANY PAGE), ANY THIRD-PARTY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM, ANY THIRD PARTY MAKING AVAILABLE THE DEVICES OR OPERATING SYSTEMS FOR WHICH THE SITE IS AVAILABLE, AND ANY THIRD PARTY OPERATING ANY WEBSITE TO WHICH THE SITE CONTAINS A LINK. YOU MAY HAVE RIGHTS DIRECTLY ENFORCEABLE AGAINST THESE THIRD PARTIES SO YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THEIR PRIVACY POLICIES TO LEARN MORE.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
1) Communicate with you;
2) Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
3) When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
We may use the Other Information to help:
1) provide our services, products and features to you, to help job seekers find jobs and employers find candidates;
2) to measure and improve those services, products and features; and
3) to protect our users and provide them with customer support.
When you give our Site contact information (such as your name and email address) and other forms of Personal and Non-Personal Data, you agree that we may utilize this information for the purposes outlined above, to the extent applicable. In particular, you agree that we may, as part of our services to you, communicate with you, or initiate communication with you on behalf of a third party, through your account or through other means such as email, telephone (including mobile phone), or postal mail, including through the use of contact information that you may provide to us or that we may otherwise obtain from third-party resources.
Your information, including Personal Data, gets placed on our Site when you upload or edit a resume. We reserve the right to charge third parties a fee for accessing your information, including Personal Data, as part of our services. At your direction, we may also send your resume to third parties if you choose to apply for a job listing. The extent to which your information is made available to third parties depends on the privacy settings you choose on our Site, in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
MATCHING JOB SEEKERS TO EMPLOYERS
You acknowledge that we may determine whether the words of your resume or any other individuals’ resume match the words of certain job descriptions, and vice versa, in order to improve the Site or any other of our products or services (including by displaying or otherwise making available potentially relevant job descriptions and resumes to Job Seekers and Employers).
We may also provide information collected pursuant to this Privacy Policy, including Personal Data, to Employers that may be interested in contacting you. By applying to a job, answering screener questions, providing your contact information to show interest in a job, or by replying to a message from an Employer, you agree to the disclosure of your information to that Employer. We may also provide the results of any of our assessments you complete on our Site to Employers, where you agree to such provision at the time of taking such as assessment. We may also use information provided to us to pre-populate application information for you and for similar purposes.
If you have an account on our Site, you agree that we may contact you or suggest you to Employers that might be interested in a person who matches your qualifications.

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use WooCommerce and DPO to power our online store.
