Privacy Policy

Tech Opportunity is an early-stage opportunity platform and project for Tanzania’s emerging talent. It is not presented here as an incorporated company, and nothing in this policy claims a registration, office, or legal department that does not exist.

Tech Opportunity is designed for students and opportunity seekers, including secondary-school and university students, graduates, technology learners and builders, young professionals, and general opportunity seekers. Because younger students may use the service, we keep data collection minimal, collect no date of birth, keep profiles private by default, and never make talent activity visible to providers or other users.

• Account identity: your email address and an encrypted password, plus the technical session information needed to keep you signed in.
• Talent profile (all optional): education or career level, field or discipline, sectors of interest, preferred opportunity types, skills, region, experience level, and goals. You may leave any or all of these empty.
• Saved opportunities and Interested / Applying / Applied states you set, with timestamps.
• Deadline-reminder preference (on or off) for opportunities you track.
• Essential session cookies that keep you signed in, one install-prompt dismissal flag stored in your own browser, and a PWA cache of static app files for offline use. There are currently no analytics or advertising cookies and no third-party tracking on this site.
• Listing reports you send (reason, details, and your account identifier), stored so authorized staff can review reported problems. Reports are visible only to staff — never to providers or other users — and never change a listing automatically. Do not include passwords or sensitive personal information in a report.
• Privacy-safe aggregate counts (for example how many people saved an opportunity) used in provider reports. These contain no names, emails, or per-user lists.

• Operating your account and keeping it secure.
• Ordering your AI Match recommendations and explaining each suggestion.
• Keeping your saved list and application progress.
• Sending deadline reminders you explicitly enabled.
• Reporting honest aggregate engagement to opportunity providers.

• We do not sell private talent data — profiles, saves, and activity are never for sale.
• We do not give providers your raw profile or activity without your explicit consent; reports are aggregate counts only.
• Paid promotion can never bypass human verification.
• We run no advertising tracking or analytics on this site today.

• Supabase stores the database and handles sign-in (account data above).
• Vercel hosts the application (standard hosting logs only).
• Gemini and Groq are AI providers used only in staging and evaluation. Production AI is currently OFF, so these providers receive no Production user information today. Fonts ship with the application; no font provider receives your data when you use the site.

Explanations labelled AI-assisted may be enabled separately. They help you read verified facts faster and are always subordinate to them: deterministic verified information remains authoritative, AI never decides eligibility, and AI cannot guarantee selection. Only bounded, approved context is ever sent to an AI service — opportunity evidence plus selected profile fields. Your identity, contact details, activity history, CVs, and documents are never sent. AI features never run without you asking (for example by tapping an explanation button).

Your account data is kept while your account exists so the product keeps working. There are currently no fixed automatic deletion schedules beyond what you control below, and platform backups follow the hosting providers’ own cycles, so backup copies cannot be purged instantly on request. Anonymized listing reports (content kept, reporter removed) are retained for moderation and trust purposes. If fixed retention periods are introduced later, this policy will say so.

• Edit or clear any profile field at any time on the Profile page.
• Unsave opportunities and remove or change Interested / Applying / Applied states.
• Turn deadline reminders on or off.
• Sign out on any device to end the session.
• Delete your whole account yourself on the Profile page (Delete account, confirm by typing DELETE). This permanently removes your profile, saved opportunities, application activity, and reminder preferences, and signs you out. Listing reports you sent stay for moderation with your identity removed.
• Ask for anything else — a copy of your data or a correction — through WhatsApp (see Contact below).

Accounts are protected with encrypted passwords and access-controlled storage: your talent data is readable only by you, enforced by database access rules. These are reasonable technical safeguards for an early-stage service — not a certification, audit, or compliance claim.

If this policy changes materially, the effective date above will change with it. Continued use after an update means you accept the updated policy.
