JobInKenya (“we”, “us”) operates jobinkenya.co.ke. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you use the Site, why we collect it, and the rights you have under the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019 and its regulations.
1. Who is responsible for your data
JobInKenya is the data controller for personal data collected through jobinkenya.co.ke. Contact us about privacy at info@jobinkenya.co.ke.
2. What we collect
- Information you give us: your name, email address, phone number if you provide one, and the message or vacancy details you send when you email us, use the post-a-job form, order a paid service, or sign up for job alerts. For job alerts we also store the categories, county and frequency you choose, and your confirmation of consent.
- Information collected automatically: technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring website and the time of your visit, through server logs, cookies and similar technologies.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data, and the Site is not directed at children. Do not send us copies of identity documents or other sensitive files unless we have asked for them to complete an order you placed.
3. How we use your data
- to run, secure and improve the website;
- to publish or moderate job listings and employer orders you submit;
- to send job alerts you have confirmed, and to handle unsubscribe or change requests;
- to reply to messages and to confirm payments for paid ads or services;
- to meet legal obligations, including tax and record-keeping.
We process data on the basis of your consent (for job alerts and non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests in running the Site, performance of a contract when you place an order, and compliance with the law, as permitted by section 30 of the Data Protection Act, 2019. We do not add you to an email list without your consent. Unconfirmed job-alert sign-ups are deleted after 14 days.
4. Cookies and analytics
We use essential cookies needed for the Site to work, and may use analytics cookies that help us measure traffic in aggregate. You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.
5. Sharing your data
We do not sell your personal data and we do not share job-alert or applicant lists with advertisers. We share data only with service providers who help us run the Site (for example hosting, email delivery and security), when required by law, or to protect our rights and the safety of others. Where data is transferred outside Kenya, we take the steps required by the Data Protection Act, 2019 to keep it protected.
6. How long we keep data
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above. Contact and order messages are generally kept for up to two years. Active job-alert subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them. We keep payment confirmations as long as required for accounting.
7. Your rights
Under the Data Protection Act, 2019 you have the right to be informed of how your personal data is used; to access it; to object to processing; to have false or misleading data corrected or deleted; to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and to request data portability where applicable.
To exercise these rights, email info@jobinkenya.co.ke. We will respond within the time limits set by law. If you are not satisfied, you may complain to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) at www.odpc.go.ke. Job-alert emails include an unsubscribe link.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), to protect personal data. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
9. Links to other sites
Job listings and articles may link to employer or other websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their policies.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
