We share an expert's profile with a company only when the expert is shortlisted for that company's project. We use trusted service providers to run the service: Vercel (hosting), Neon (database), Resend (email) and, once payments open, licensed payment providers. They process data only on our instructions.

Our database is hosted in the United Kingdom and our site runs on Vercel's global network. Where data moves across borders, we use providers with recognised safeguards and follow the data protection laws that apply to us and to the countries we serve, including Kenya's Data Protection Act, Nigeria's Data Protection Act, South Africa's POPIA, Ghana's Data Protection Act and Egypt's Personal Data Protection Law.

Enquiries we cannot act on are deleted within 24 months. Records linked to contracts and payments are kept for as long as the law requires. You can ask us to delete your information at any time, unless we must keep it by law.

You can ask to see, correct, export or delete your information, object to how we use it, or withdraw consent. Email hello@vukazi.com and we will reply within 30 days. You can also complain to the data protection authority in your country.

If we change this notice in a way that matters, we will update the date above and tell registered users by email.
