Privacy Policy

Last Updated 30 June 2021

Protecting your privacy is as important to us as it is to you. This privacy notice explains why and how we collect, use and store your personal information. If you have any questions please contact us on 011 791 4353.

The Protection of Personal Information Act protects you.

The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI) is aimed at protecting your personal information and prescribes what we must and must not do with it. POPI created an Information Regulator who checks that companies like Procore Group manage personal information in a responsible manner that respects your privacy.

Where we refer to “process”, it means how we collect, use, store, make available, destroy, update, disclose, or otherwise deal with your personal information. As a general rule we will only process your personal information if this is required to deliver or offer a service, provide a product or carry out a transaction.

We may combine your personal information and use the combined personal information for any of the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy.

In this document any reference to “we” or “us” or “our” includes Procore Group and any of its subsidiaries.

If you use our services, goods, products and service channels you agree that we may process your personal information as explained under this Privacy Policy. Sometimes you may provide us with consent to process your personal information. Read it carefully because it may limit your rights.

Procore Group can change this Privacy Policy from time to time if the law or its business practices requires it.

The version of the Privacy Policy displayed on our website will apply to your interactions with us.

We want you to understand who you are sharing your information with, what kind of information we are collecting and how we use the information.

There are two ways in which you are able to submit your information to us.

Enquiring for further information of our services.
Submitting your CV for potential employment.

Enquiring for further information

A consultant will use the information provided to contact a customer to either provide additional detail about the company/assist with any queries.

Once the query has been dealt with, all information related to the query is processed and store on a secure cloud database, should the need arise to refer back to the query.

Submitting your CV for potential employment

Should you be interested in applying for a position within our company, we request that you fill in a questionnaire and upload your CV.

By submitting the questionnaire and uploading of your CV, you are giving Procore Group and its affiliate companies permission to view, store and submit your CV on to any of our existing or prospective Clients for employment purposes.

By submitting your CV, you give permission for Procore Group to store your information on record until you request that we delete your profile from our secure CV database.

When you apply for a job advertised on our social media platforms and this site, you give Procore Group and its affiliate companies permission to transfer your profile information to the employer advertising the role for them to consider you for the role.

Procore Group does not guarantee the accuracy or availability of a job advertised on the site and while we make best efforts to vet adverts placed on behalf of our clients or potential clients, we cannot guarantee that every job represents an actual job vacancy.

Procore Group does not guarantee that when applying for a vacancy you will be considered for the role. It is at the discretion of Procore Group in consultation with existing/prospective Clients.

Therefore all provisions of this privacy notice must be treated as being qualified, to the extent necessary, to ensure that the provisions of POPI and such other laws are complied with.

No provision of this privacy notice:

does or purports to limit or exempt us from any liability (including, without limitation, for any loss directly or indirectly attributable to our gross negligence or wilful default or that of any other person acting for or controlled by us) to the extent that the law does not allow such a limitation or exemption;
requires you to assume risk or liability for the kind of liability or loss, to the extent that the law does not allow such an assumption of risk or liability; or

General

You agree that this privacy notice, our relationship and any dispute of whatsoever nature relating to or arising out of this privacy notice whether directly or indirectly, shall be governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa without giving effect to any principle of conflict of laws.

You agree that we may, at any time, transfer, cede, delegate or assign any or all of our rights and obligations under this privacy notice without your consent.

As far as the law allows, if any provision of this privacy notice, or part of a provision, is found by a court or authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable (including, without limitation, because such provision is inconsistent with the laws of another jurisdiction), it must be treated as if it was not included in this privacy notice and the rest of this privacy notice will still be valid and enforceable.
