Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 15, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Jobz Kenya collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal data when you use https://jobz.co.ke. It is intended to help users understand our data practices under Kenya’s Data Protection Act, 2019 and related regulations. 

1. Who We Are

Jobz Kenya operates a Kenyan jobs website that publishes job opportunities, job-related information, and tools that help users prepare job applications. For privacy enquiries, contact us at privacy@jobz.co.ke or admin@mwangy.com.

2. Personal Data We May Collect

  • Contact details you submit, such as name, email address, phone number, and message content.
  • Newsletter subscription details, such as email address and subscription preferences.
  • Job-application support information you submit to our AI cover-letter or application-assistance tools.
  • Technical and usage data, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring pages, approximate location, cookies, and analytics events.
  • Security and anti-spam data generated when you interact with forms or the website.

3. Why We Process Personal Data

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the website.
  • To publish and organise job listings and related content.
  • To respond to enquiries and support requests.
  • To provide requested tools such as sample cover letters or application guidance.
  • To send newsletters or updates where a user has subscribed or otherwise consented.
  • To measure site performance, detect abuse, improve security, and prevent spam.
  • To show advertising and understand advertising performance where permitted by law and user choices.
  • To comply with legal, regulatory, and record-keeping obligations.

4. Lawful Basis

Depending on the activity, we may process personal data based on consent, performance of a requested service, legitimate interests in operating and securing the website, or compliance with legal obligations. Where consent is required, users may withdraw it, subject to lawful retention requirements.

5. AI Cover-Letter and Application Tools

If you use our AI or application-assistance tools, the information you submit may be used to generate a sample cover letter, application guidance, or related content. Do not submit sensitive personal data unless it is necessary for the requested output. We will update this policy with specific processor details before publication if third-party AI services are used.

6. Sharing Personal Data

We may share limited personal data with service providers that help us host, secure, analyse, advertise on, or operate the website. These may include website hosting providers, analytics providers, email providers, advertising networks, anti-spam/security tools, and AI service providers. We do not sell job-seeker personal data to employers or third parties.

7. International Transfers

Some service providers may process data outside Kenya. Where personal data is transferred outside Kenya, we aim to rely on appropriate safeguards, lawful transfer mechanisms, contractual protections, or user consent where required.

8. Cookies and Advertising

We use cookies and similar technologies for website functionality, analytics, security, and advertising. Advertising partners may use cookies, scripts, or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads. See our Cookie Policy for more details.

9. Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required by law, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, or security. Suggested retention periods are: contact enquiries for 6-12 months, newsletter data until unsubscribe or withdrawal, AI tool submissions for a short operational period unless longer retention is clearly stated, and technical logs for the shortest practical period.

10. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to your personal data, correction, deletion, restriction, objection to processing, withdrawal of consent, or information about how your data is processed. You may submit requests through our Data Request page or by emailing privacy@jobz.co.ke.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No website can guarantee absolute security, but we work to reduce risks through access controls, secure hosting, HTTPS, plugin updates, and monitoring.

12. Children

Our website is intended for job seekers and employers, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without appropriate consent or lawful basis.

13. Complaints

If you have concerns about our data practices, contact us first at privacy@jobz.co.ke. You may also contact Kenya’s Office of the Data Protection Commissioner where applicable.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page with the updated date.
