Our Commitment to Your Privacy
At Everyday Vacancies, protecting your personal information isn't just a legal requirement—it's fundamental to how we operate. Whether you're a job seeker sharing your CV or an employer posting opportunities, we've built our platform with security and privacy at its core.
Security Standards We Follow
- International data protection best practices
- GDPR-aligned privacy principles
- POTRAZ and Zimbabwe Data Protection Act compliance
- Industry-standard encryption protocols
How We Protect Your Data
Encryption
All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security). This means your login credentials, personal details, and uploaded documents are scrambled during transfer, making them unreadable to anyone who might intercept them.
Secure Infrastructure
Our platform runs on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with multiple layers of protection:
- DDoS Protection: Automatic mitigation of denial-of-service attacks
- Web Application Firewall: Blocks malicious requests before they reach our servers
- Rate Limiting: Prevents automated attacks and abuse
- Geographic Filtering: Blocks suspicious traffic patterns
Access Controls
We implement strict access controls to ensure only authorized personnel can access system data, and even then, only on a need-to-know basis. All administrative access is logged and audited.
Regulatory Compliance
GDPR Principles
We follow GDPR-aligned practices for all users, not just those in Europe. This includes:
- Clear consent for data collection
- Purpose limitation—we only use data as described
- Data minimization—we collect only what's needed
- Right to access, correct, and delete your data
Zimbabwe Compliance
As a Zimbabwe-focused platform, we comply with local regulations:
- POTRAZ: Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority guidelines
- Data Protection Act: Zimbabwe's data protection legislation
- Cyber Security Act: National cybersecurity requirements
Account Security Features
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
We strongly recommend enabling MFA on your account. With MFA enabled, even if someone obtains your password, they cannot access your account without the second verification factor.
- Email verification codes — Simple, no app required
- Authenticator apps — Industry-standard TOTP for maximum security
Password Security
We enforce strong password requirements and never store passwords in plain text. Passwords are hashed using modern, secure algorithms, making them virtually impossible to reverse even if our database were compromised.

What We Don't Do

- Store unnecessary data: We regularly purge data we no longer need
