We are a recruitment agency specialising in household and childcare placements for private, royal and VIP families, both locally in South Africa and across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

We are based across three offices: Pretoria, Potchefstroom and Cape Town, South Africa.

Contact us: admin@gooserecruits.com

Registered address: [TBC]

This notice applies to all personal information processed through this website, including information submitted via our contact form and position application form.

2. What information we collect and why

When you use our contact form or apply for a position through this website, we collect the following personal information:

• Full name (required)
• Email address (required)
• Phone number (optional)
• A message or cover note (required for applications)
• Your CV, in PDF or Word format (required for position applications; optional for general enquiries)
• Enquiry type, so we can direct your enquiry to the right team

We collect this information solely for the following purposes:

• Assessing your suitability for current or future household, childcare, nursing or related positions
• Responding to general enquiries from prospective employer households or families
• Maintaining a pool of qualified candidates for positions that arise over time

We do not collect this information for marketing, profiling, or any automated decision-making purposes.

The lawful basis for processing under the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA) is: your voluntary consent, given when you submit the form, and our legitimate interest in conducting our business as a recruitment agency.

3. How we store and protect it

Your CV and personal information are stored on a private, cloud-based platform operated on our behalf by our platform provider, Business in a Day (a trading name of DigiPhyte (Pty) Ltd, South Africa). See section 4 for more on this relationship.

The following technical and organisational measures are in place:

• CVs are stored in private object storage. They are never publicly accessible. Access is via signed, expiring links generated on demand for authorised users only.
• All access to submitted documents and personal information is logged and audited.
• Access is limited to Goose Recruits SA staff and, where strictly necessary, authorised platform personnel.
• Data is stored in the European Union on infrastructure that meets applicable data protection standards.

While no system is entirely without risk, we take reasonable steps to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration.

4. Who we share your information with

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only in the following circumstances:

Prospective employer households

If you are a candidate and we believe you may be suitable for a specific position, we may share your CV and relevant personal information with the prospective employer household. We will do this only when you have been shortlisted for a role, and we will make you aware before doing so.

Platform provider (data processor)

Business in a Day (DigiPhyte (Pty) Ltd) operates the platform that powers this site and processes submitted information on our behalf, under a data processing agreement. They act only on our instructions and do not use your information for their own purposes.

Other service providers

We may share limited information with other trusted service providers, such as email delivery services, who assist us in running our business. All such providers are required to process your information confidentially and only for the purposes we specify.

Legal requirements

We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or to protect our legitimate legal interests.

5. International transfers

Goose Recruits SA places candidates with households in the GCC (including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman). When a candidate is shortlisted for a GCC role, their information may be shared with a prospective employer in one of those countries.

In addition, the platform that powers this site stores submitted information on secure infrastructure located in the European Union (see the storage and security section above). Storing your information outside South Africa is itself a cross-border transfer.

South Africa's POPIA restricts the transfer of personal information outside South Africa unless an adequate level of protection is in place (section 72, POPIA). We handle such transfers by:

• Informing candidates before their information is shared internationally
• Sharing only the information reasonably necessary for the specific placement
• Requiring that receiving households treat candidate information in confidence
• Storing information only with processors who are contractually bound to protect it to a standard comparable to that required by POPIA

If you have questions about a specific international transfer, contact us at admin@gooserecruits.com.

6. Your POPIA rights

Under the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA), you have the following rights in relation to your personal information:

• Access: you may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction: you may ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion: you may ask us to delete your information, subject to any legal obligations we have to retain it.
• Objection: you may object to processing of your information in certain circumstances.
• Withdraw consent: where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, send a written request to admin@gooserecruits.com. We will respond within a reasonable time and in any event within 30 days.

7. Retention

We retain your personal information, including your CV, for a period of [TBC] from the date of submission. After that period, your information is permanently deleted from our systems. Deletion events are recorded in a full audit log.

If you are placed in a role, we may retain information for longer as required for contractual or legal purposes, in line with applicable law.

You may request early deletion at any time by contacting admin@gooserecruits.com.
