    Last Updated: 15 January 2026

    At Youth Opportunities Hub, accessible from [youthopportunitieshub.com], one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by us and how we use it, in compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) of South Africa.

    1. Information We Collect

    If you subscribe to our newsletter, apply for a listing, or contact us directly, we may collect the following:

    • Identity Data: Name, surname, and age (to ensure eligibility for youth programs).
    • Contact Data: Email address and phone number.
    • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and usage patterns via cookies.
    • Professional Data: CVs or educational background (if you upload them for specific applications).

    2. How We Use Your Information

    We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:

    • Provide, operate, and maintain our website.
    • Improve, personalize, and expand our website features.
    • Send you email alerts regarding new internships, bursaries, and apprenticeships.
    • Communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, for customer service or marketing.

    Youth Opportunities Hub’s Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites (like the companies offering the bursaries). We advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party sites. We cannot be held responsible for how external sites handle your data once you click an outbound link.

    5. Your Data Protection Rights (POPIA & GDPR)

    We want to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following:

    • The right to object to processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data.

    6. Protection of Minors

    As a hub for youth, we may interact with users under the age of 18. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13 without parental consent.
