Privacy & Consent Policy
WorkRef NG is built on Nigerian data protection principles. Your data, your control.
Our Data Protection Commitments
Lawful Basis & Consent
All data processing is based on explicit employee consent. Employees must confirm onboarding and approve every verification request.
Transparency
Employees see every record attached to their employment. No hidden flags, no secret databases.
Data Minimization
Only employment-relevant data is collected. No biometric data. No unnecessary personal details.
Access Control & Audit
Every action is logged. Employees can request their audit trail. Rate limiting prevents abuse.
Right to Challenge
Employees can dispute any record. Disputes trigger a resolution workflow. Incorrect records can be corrected or flagged.
What We Will Never Do
No Blacklists
We do not operate as a blacklist database. No secret negative lists.
No Secret Searches
Employers cannot search by name alone. A valid reference code is always required.
No Old Code Tracking
Previous reference codes expire. Old employers cannot continuously track former employees.
No Subjective Labels
No free-text misconduct accusations. Only structured, evidence-backed statuses.
