How Sahel Verify handles client and candidate information.
Notice
This page should be reviewed and finalised by appropriate Nigerian legal/data-protection counsel before the website goes live.
Information collected
We collect the information needed to respond to a verification request and to carry out an agreed verification. This may include client contact details and household location, and candidate details such as name, identification details, address information, employment history and referee contacts.
Purpose of collection
Information is collected to assess a request, agree a scope of work, carry out the verification steps included in the selected package and deliver a report to the client.
Candidate consent
Verification should not begin without the candidate's informed consent. The consent process explains the categories of information that will be checked and why.
Client information
Client identity and household details are treated as confidential and are not unnecessarily disclosed during verification activities.
Verification information
Findings are recorded with their source and status, distinguishing verified information from information that could not be independently confirmed.
Data minimisation
We aim to collect only the information relevant to the verification requested, and not to gather information beyond the agreed scope.
Data security
Information should be stored and handled securely, with access limited to those who need it for the verification purpose.
Retention
Information should be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the verification purpose and as permitted under applicable requirements, and then securely disposed of.
Data subject rights
Individuals may request information about personal data held about them, and may ask for correction of inaccurate information, subject to applicable law and the terms of the engagement.
Third-party processors
Where third parties support verification or information handling, they should be engaged on terms consistent with this policy and with applicable data-protection requirements.
