Last updated: 8 November 2026. This notice explains how Elite Staffing handles personal information submitted through the website at elite-staffing.co.za. It covers general website enquiries and the initial receipt of candidate applications sent by email. Separate recruitment, employment or client notices may provide additional detail.
Who is responsible for the information?
Elite Staffing operates this website. For questions about website enquiries or the personal information you have submitted, use the Contact Us page and indicate that the message concerns privacy or personal information.
Information you provide
When you complete our website enquiry form, you may provide your name, email address, telephone number, company, type of enquiry and message. Please do not submit identity numbers, banking information, payslips, medical details or confidential employee records through the general contact form.
Why the information is used
Information submitted through the enquiry form is used to understand the request, respond to you, assess potential services and handle related correspondence. If you become a client or candidate, further information may be requested through a separate process with an appropriate explanation.
Candidate applications received by email
When you apply for an advertised vacancy, your application is sent using your email service rather than through a website upload form. We may receive your contact details, CV, work experience, qualifications and cover letter, and other information you choose to provide. Information may be used for recruitment administration, suitability assessment and communication. Sharing an application with a prospective employer should take place in accordance with the recruitment process and applicable privacy requirements. Please avoid sending identity documents, bank details or other particularly sensitive records unless the recruiter has confirmed a legitimate need and a secure method.
How the enquiry form works
The website form sends the enquiry to an Elite Staffing contact mailbox. The custom form does not intentionally store the full message in a WordPress submissions database. Email systems, hosting services and website security systems may retain messages or technical records, and authorised personnel may have access as needed to respond.
Security, cookies and service providers
The website uses HTTPS to protect information in transit. WordPress and related hosting, security and cookie-management tools help operate and protect the website. Some tools may use cookies or collect technical information. Your cookie choices are managed through the site’s cookie notice where available. No internet transmission or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Sharing information
Enquiries may be accessible to authorised Elite Staffing personnel and service providers who operate the website or business email systems. Information may also be disclosed where required by applicable law. We do not offer visitor enquiry details for sale.
How long information is retained
Enquiry emails and related records are kept only for as long as reasonably needed to respond, administer a relationship, meet applicable obligations or resolve a matter. The precise retention periods depend on the records involved and should be confirmed in the business’s internal retention policy.
Your choices and privacy enquiries
You may ask for access to, correction of or deletion of personal information we hold about you, or raise a concern about its use, subject to applicable legal requirements. Send a request using the Contact Us page and provide enough information to locate your enquiry. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Updates to this notice
We may update this notice when our website or data-handling practices change. Any material changes should be reflected here. This notice is general website information and does not replace a complete recruitment candidate or client data-processing policy.
