Privacy Policy

Penta Motor Group ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA) and all applicable South African data protection legislation. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you visit careers.pentamotorgroup.co.za or apply for a role through this site.

By using this website or submitting a job application, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

Penta Motor Group operates a network of dealership brands and branches across South Africa. This careers portal is used to advertise open positions and manage applications across those brands and branches.

We may collect the following categories of personal information:

• Full name and contact details (email address, phone number)
• Account credentials (your password is stored in encrypted form and is never visible to us)
• Your CV and any information it contains, such as employment history, qualifications, and skills
• Job preferences, such as branch and role type
• Application history, including the roles you have applied for and their status
• IP address, browser type, device information, and referring website, collected automatically when you visit our site

We use your personal information to:

• Create and manage your candidate account
• Process and review your job applications
• Match you with open roles across Penta Motor Group's brands and branches
• Communicate with you about your application status
• Respond to enquiries and support requests
• Comply with our legal and regulatory obligations
• Improve our website and recruitment process

When you apply for a role, your application and CV are shared with the hiring team at the specific Penta Motor Group brand and branch advertising that role, so they can review your candidacy.

We may also share your information with service providers who help us operate this site, such as our cloud storage and hosting providers, subject to confidentiality obligations. We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to any third party for their own marketing purposes.

This site uses one strictly necessary cookie to keep you signed in to your account. This cookie does not track you across other websites and does not require consent under POPIA, as it is essential to providing the service you have requested. We do not currently use analytics or marketing cookies on this site.

We implement reasonable technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, loss, or destruction. Data transmitted through this website is encrypted in transit, and CVs are stored securely with our cloud storage provider.

While we take appropriate precautions, no method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

As a data subject, you have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete information
• Request deletion of your information, subject to our legal retention obligations
• Object to the processing of your information for direct marketing purposes
• Lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa (inforeg.org.za) if you believe your rights have been violated

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at careers@pentamotorgroup.co.za.

We retain your personal information, including your CV and application history, only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected — including considering you for future roles — or as required by applicable law. Thereafter, it is securely deleted or de-identified.

This website is not intended for use by children under the age of 18, in line with standard employment eligibility, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at careers@pentamotorgroup.co.za and we will make reasonable efforts to delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable legislation. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last updated.
