In line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act, 2023, we do not rely solely on automated processing to make decisions that would produce legal or similarly significant effects on you — such as a final hiring decision — without appropriate human involvement.

Where automated tools are used to support a recruitment or talent-matching outcome that affects you, you have the right to request human intervention, to express your point of view, and to contest that outcome. To exercise this right, contact us at info@jakeriley.org.

We may disclose personal data where required by Nigerian law, regulation, court order, or other valid legal process.

Professional and accrediting bodies
