Privacy Policy
Effective date: 1 November 2026 | Adway Africa Careers Page
Who We Are
ADWAY Africa is a storytelling digital marketing agency located in No. 24, Agoro Street, Omole Phase 1, Lagos, Nigeria. This policy describes how we handle personal information submitted through our Careers Page and during related recruitment activities, in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.
Information We Collect
We may collect applicants’ names, contact details, location, CVs, portfolios, qualifications, employment history, skills, application responses, interview notes and other information voluntarily supplied during recruitment. Please do not provide sensitive personal information unless specifically requested and necessary.
Purposes and Lawful Bases
We use applicant information to review applications, assess suitability, contact candidates, arrange interviews, conduct appropriate verification, make hiring decisions and meet legal obligations. Depending on the activity, processing may rely on steps taken at an applicant’s request before entering into a contract, legitimate interests where appropriate, consent where required, or legal obligations.
Google Sheets and Access
Applications submitted through the Careers Page may be transmitted to Google Sheets and associated Google services for recruitment administration. Access should be limited to authorised HR personnel and hiring decision-makers. Google or other authorised service providers may process information on our behalf, potentially outside Nigeria, subject to applicable transfer safeguards.
Disclosure and Security
We may share relevant information with authorised hiring personnel, recruitment support providers, verification providers and competent authorities where necessary and lawful. We do not sell applicant information. We use reasonable organisational and technical safeguards, including access restrictions and secure account management, but no system is completely risk-free.
Retention
Applicant records are kept only for the period necessary to complete recruitment and meet applicable legal requirements.
Applicant Rights
Subject to applicable law, applicants may request access to, correction or deletion of their information, object to or seek restriction of certain processing, withdraw consent where relevant, and exercise other applicable data protection rights. Applicants may complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.
Updates and Contact
We may update this policy when recruitment practices or legal requirements change. The latest version will appear on the Careers Page. For privacy questions or requests, contact ADWAY Africa at [email protected].
