Privacy Policy

Who we are

Tamborin is a remote-hiring platform that connects people in Africa with employers around the world. It is operated by Work Life LLC, a company registered in Wyoming, United States ("Tamborin", "we", "us"). You can reach us about anything in this policy at careers@tamborin.io.

What we collect

Account details — your name, email and password (stored only as a secure hash). Profile — headline, skills, work history, country, CV and any video or photo you add. Activity — jobs you view, save or apply to, your screening answers, messages with employers, and invites you send or receive. Payments — wallet, payout and billing records (card details are handled by our payment processor and never touch our servers). Usage — pages visited and device information, only if you accept analytics cookies.

Account safety and review — authorised Tamborin reviewers can inspect your account email and confirmation status, profile, uploaded CV and video, company information, applications, retained sign-in events, and review correspondence. We record profile changes, job posts, applications, saved jobs and message-sending events for account safety. Optional page-visit tracking runs only when you accept analytics cookies; it records the page path, not URL query strings or message content. New accounts require approval before using marketplace actions; you can complete your profile and respond to information requests while a review is pending.

Why we use it

To run your account and show you relevant roles (our contract with you). To share your application with the employer you applied to, and — only when you have given consent — to let verified employers find you in the talent pool or to hand your application to a partner board such as micro1, Mercor or Turing. To send emails you asked for, such as application confirmations and job alerts. To keep the platform safe, prevent fraud and meet tax and legal obligations (our legitimate interests and legal duties).

Who we share it with

Employers you apply to receive your application, CV and screening answers. Employers searching the talent pool see only your first name, headline and skills — your surname and contact details unlock only when you accept their invite, and only if you have opted in to being discoverable. Partner boards (micro1, Mercor, Turing) receive your name, email, CV and location only when you apply to one of their roles and have given consent. Service providers who help us run Tamborin — hosting, email delivery and payment processing — receive only what they need, under contract. We never sell your personal data.

Your rights and controls

Your rights come from the data-protection law where you live — such as Nigeria's NDPA, Kenya's Data Protection Act, Ghana's Data Protection Act, South Africa's POPIA, Egypt's Personal Data Protection Law and Rwanda's data-protection law — and we apply the same standard to everyone. You can access, correct, export, restrict or delete your data. Most of this is self-service in your Privacy Centre: you can change consents, turn on stealth mode, see which employers have received your data, download everything we hold as a JSON file, and file export, correction, restriction or deletion requests. We respond to requests within 30 days. If you're unhappy with our answer you can complain to the data-protection authority in your country.

How long we keep it

Profile, saved jobs, job alerts and consent records: while your account is open. Applications, messages, invites and partner hand-offs: 2 years after last activity. Profile views and notifications: 1 year. Privacy requests: 3 years. Wallet, payout and verification records: 7 years, because tax law requires it. Copilot chats: until you delete them.

Cookies

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in, and optional analytics and marketing cookies only if you accept them. You can change your choice any time from the cookie settings link in the footer or the Privacy Centre.

Security and international transfers

We encrypt data in transit and at rest, restrict access to staff who need it, and enforce row-level access rules in our database so each account can only reach its own data. Because we are based in the United States and our providers may be elsewhere, your data is transferred internationally; we use contractual safeguards for these transfers.

Children

Tamborin is for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date above and, for significant changes, notify you by email or in the app. The current version is always at tamborin.io/privacy-policy.
