1) Who We Are

nayiiplug.xyz is an independent information platform. We aggregate and publish curated opportunities and career resources. We are not a recruitment agency and we do not conduct hiring on behalf of employers. When we link to official application portals, those sites have their own privacy and security policies.

  • Operator name: Nayiiplug (trading as “Nayiiplug”)
  • Jurisdiction: South Africa
  • Contact email: kevinruthless686@gmail.com

2) Scope of this Policy

This policy covers information we process when you:

  • Visit our website or mobile versions.
  • Read posts, search categories (jobs, internships, learnerships, bursaries), or use site features.
  • Subscribe to newsletters or job alerts.
  • Submit a contact form or email us.
  • Interact with ads (served by Google AdSense) or analytics tools.

This policy does not cover third-party websites, employer career portals, or external services we link to. When you leave our site, please review the privacy policy of the destination website.

3) Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information. Some of this is collected automatically, some directly from you, and some from third parties (e.g., ad and analytics partners).

3.1 Information you provide directly

  • Contact information: name, email address, and any information you include when you subscribe to newsletters/job alerts or send us a message via forms or email.
  • Job alert preferences: categories of interest (e.g., sector, province, qualification level).
  • User-generated content: comments (if enabled), feedback, survey responses, or testimonials.
  • Content submissions: if you submit a job tip or correction.

We do not request sensitive identifiers (e.g., ID numbers) for browsing our site. If you choose to email documents (like CVs), we will only use them for the purpose intended (e.g., replying to your query) and urge you not to send sensitive documents unless necessary.

3.2 Information collected automatically

  • Device & usage data: IP address, device type, browser type/version, operating system, language, referring/exit pages, timestamps, approximate location inferred from IP (country/region), page views, scroll depth, and on-site actions.
  • Log data: server logs for performance and security.
  • Cookies & similar technologies: please see Section 5.

3.3 Information from third parties

  • Advertising data (AdSense): impression and click metrics, ad rendering performance, and whether ads are personalized based on your activity.
  • Analytics data: aggregated statistics from our analytics provider(s).
  • Security/anti-abuse: signals to prevent spam, fraud, or misuse (e.g., Google reCAPTCHA).

We do not knowingly combine third-party data in a way that would uniquely identify you without a lawful basis and, where required, your consent.

4) How We Use Your Information (Purposes & Legal Bases)

We process personal information for the following purposes and, where GDPR/UK-GDPR applies, under these legal bases:

  1. Provide and operate the website (legitimate interests / contract where applicable).
  2. Publish content (posts about jobs, internships, learnerships, bursaries, application guides).
  3. Communicate with you (respond to queries, send newsletters/job alerts you requested).
  4. Improve and personalize content (legitimate interests; consent where required for personalization).
  5. Display advertising via Google AdSense (legitimate interests; consent for personalized ads in regions where required).
  6. Measure performance, debugging, and security (legitimate interests; legal obligation where applicable).
  7. Compliance with laws, legal requests, or to protect rights, safety, and integrity (legal obligation/legitimate interests).
  8. Consent-based processing where explicitly required (e.g., personalized ads in EEA/UK; certain analytics cookies depending on jurisdiction).

You may withdraw consent at any time using the cookie/consent manager (see Section 18), without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

5) Cookies, Pixels & Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Keep the site functional and secure.
  • Remember preferences (e.g., selected categories).
  • Analyze traffic and performance (aggregated).
  • Support advertising and limit repeated ad displays.

Types of cookies:

  • Strictly necessary: required for core functionality and security.
  • Performance/analytics: help us understand how the site is used.
  • Functional: remember choices to enhance your experience.
  • Advertising: used by Google AdSense and partners to deliver ads, including personalized or non-personalized ads depending on your consent/region.

How to manage cookies:
On your first visit, you’ll see a consent banner. You can accept, reject, or customize categories. You can also revisit your choices at any time (see Section 18). You may set your browser to block cookies; however, parts of the site may not function properly.

6) Advertising & Google AdSense

nayiiplug.xyz displays third-party advertisements provided by Google AdSense. AdSense uses cookies and/or mobile identifiers to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Depending on your location and choices:

  • Personalized ads may be shown using your interests and previous interactions.
  • Non-personalized ads use contextual information (e.g., page content) but still rely on cookies for frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting, and combating fraud/abuse.

Key points:

  • We do not sell your personal information to advertisers.
  • We do not control which specific ads you see.
  • AdSense and its partners may collect or receive information from your browser/device to provide, measure, and improve ads.
  • You can manage AdSense personalization at any time via the consent manager on our site and your Google Ads settings.

Ad labels: We clearly mark advertising placements. Ads are from Google AdSense and/or its certified partners.

7) Analytics, Measurement & reCAPTCHA

We use analytics to understand aggregate site usage (e.g., page views, reading time) and improve content quality. Metrics are typically de-identified and reported at an aggregate level.

We may also use Google reCAPTCHA or similar tools to protect forms from spam and abuse. These tools may collect device and usage information strictly for security and anti-abuse purposes.

8) Newsletters, Job Alerts & Contact Forms

If you sign up for newsletters or job alerts, we will store your email address and preferences (e.g., sector, province, qualification levels). We will use this information only to send you the content you requested and essential administrative messages. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails or by contacting us.

Contact forms & email:
When you send us a message, we process the information you provide to respond. Please avoid sending sensitive personal documents unless necessary.

9) Comments, User-Generated Content & Community Features

If comments or community features are enabled, your display name, comment content, and timestamp may be publicly visible. We moderate to reduce spam, abuse, and misinformation, but we are not responsible for content posted by users. Do not publish personal or confidential information in comments. We may remove content that violates our site rules.

10) Data Sharing & International Transfers

We share data only as needed to operate and improve our services:

  • Service providers/processors: hosting, content delivery network (CDN), email service, analytics, security, and advertising (e.g., Google AdSense). These providers act on our instructions and implement appropriate safeguards.
  • Legal compliance & protection: we may disclose information when required by law, lawful requests, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
  • Business transfers: in the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, data may be transferred under appropriate safeguards.

International transfers:
Your information may be processed in countries outside South Africa. Where applicable (e.g., GDPR/UK-GDPR), we rely on lawful transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or other permitted safeguards.

11) Data Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls, and secure hosting. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If we become aware of a data incident affecting your information, we will act in accordance with applicable laws and best practices.

12) Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law (e.g., tax, compliance, security). Examples:

  • Newsletter/job alerts: kept until you unsubscribe or your email bounces repeatedly.
  • Contact queries: typically retained for up to 24 months for reference and quality.
  • Analytics logs: retained per provider’s default aggregated windows.
  • Server logs/security: retained for a limited period for security and troubleshooting.

When information is no longer needed, we securely delete, anonymize, or aggregate it.

13) Your Privacy Rights (POPIA, GDPR, CCPA/CPRA)

Depending on your location, you may have some or all of the following rights:

  • Access: request confirmation whether we process your information and obtain a copy.
  • Correction (Rectification): request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Deletion (Erasure): request deletion where there is no overriding lawful basis to retain it.
  • Restriction: request temporary suspension of processing under certain circumstances.
  • Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.
  • Portability: receive certain information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
  • Consent withdrawal: withdraw consent at any time (e.g., for personalized ads).
  • California (CCPA/CPRA): know, access, delete, correct, opt out of “sale or sharing,” and limit use of sensitive personal information (we do not seek to collect sensitive categories for browsing our site).

To exercise your rights, contact kevinruthless686@gmail.com with your request, and provide enough information for us to verify your identity (we may ask for additional verification to protect your data). We will respond within legally required timelines.

POPIA requests & complaints: You may also lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (South Africa).
EU/UK residents: You may contact your local supervisory authority.

14) Children’s Privacy

Our content is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the age of digital consent in your country).

15) Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” (DNT) or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. Our site honors consent preferences communicated via our cookie/consent tool. Where required by law, we will treat recognized GPC signals as a request to opt out of certain tracking or data “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising.

16) Third-Party Links & External Job Portals

We frequently link to official employer portals, government pages, or third-party job systems for applications. These external sites are not controlled by us. When you click an external link, your interactions are governed by the destination site’s privacy policy and terms. Please review them carefully. We are not responsible for third-party practices.

17) “Do Not Sell or Share” (California)

For purposes of CCPA/CPRA, we do not “sell” personal information for money. Certain advertising activities—such as cross-context behavioral advertising by Google AdSense may be considered “sharing” under California law. California residents may opt out of “sharing” by adjusting preferences in our consent manager (see Section 18) and/or by enabling a recognized GPC signal in your browser.

We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for any purpose that would require a “Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information” link under CCPA/CPRA.

18) Managing Your Choices (Consent & Preferences)

  • Cookie/consent banner: On your first visit, you can choose which categories of cookies/processing you consent to (e.g., personalized advertising). You can revisit your choices anytime via the “Cookie Settings” link in our footer.
  • Ad personalization: You can disable personalized ads on our site via the consent tool. You can also manage Google ad settings in your Google account.
  • Browser controls: Block or clear cookies; note that some features may not work without them.

19) Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date and may provide additional notice (e.g., a banner or email for subscribers). Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.

20) How to Contact Us

If you have questions, requests, or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact:

If you are in South Africa and believe your query was not resolved, you may lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (South Africa). EU/UK residents may contact their supervisory authority.
