Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly and information generated as you use the Platform:

• Account information — your name, email address, password, country, and role (e.g. job seeker, employer, seller).
• Profile and listing content — details you add to your profile, job posts, marketplace listings, community posts, and messages.
• Verification information — documents or details you submit for identity or employer verification.
• Payment information — when you pay the one-time registration fee, payments are processed by our payment provider (Stripe); we do not store your full card details.
• Usage and device data — pages viewed, actions taken, IP address, browser type, and similar technical data collected automatically.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide, operate, and improve the Platform and its features.
• Create and secure your account and verify your identity where required.
• Match you with relevant jobs, listings, and community content.
• Process payments and send service-related communications.
• Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, and security issues.
• Comply with our legal obligations.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to run the Platform:

• With other users — profile, listing, job, and community content you choose to make visible.
• With service providers — such as hosting, analytics, email, and payment processing partners who act on our behalf under appropriate safeguards.
• For legal reasons — where required by law, regulation, or valid legal process, or to protect the rights and safety of our users.
• In a business transfer — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how the Platform is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect how the Platform works.

5. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Platform, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

7. Data Security

We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. International Transfers

DiasporaHub serves a diaspora community across multiple countries. Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we put appropriate safeguards in place for such transfers.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Platform is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version here and revise the “Last updated” date above. Significant changes may be communicated to you directly.
