How we collect, use and protect your information.
Last updated: 13 June 2026
Afrorama ("Afrorama", "we", "us" or "our") operates afrorama.org, a platform connecting Africa's talent and Afro-optimists with social impact opportunities, community and career development resources. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and the choices and rights you have. If you have any questions, contact us at hello@afrorama.org.
When you create an Afrorama account, we collect your name, email address and password. Authentication is handled by our database provider, Supabase, which stores your password securely (we never see it in plain text). If you complete your profile, you may also provide your LinkedIn URL, location, job-type and sector preferences, whether you are actively looking for opportunities, and your email alert preferences.
If you use the CV Booster, the contents of the CV you upload (up to 5MB) are sent securely to our AI provider, Anthropic, for the sole purpose of generating feedback. We do not retain the uploaded file itself. We do save the resulting score, and a short history of your scores, to your profile so you can track your progress over time.
If you post, comment or react in the Community section, that content is linked to your account and visible to other members. Please do not share sensitive personal information in public posts or comments.
If you submit a role via "Post a Role", we collect the organisation's details, your name and contact email, and the job description and requirements you provide, so that we can review, publish and respond to the listing.
Salary submissions are anonymous. We do not collect or store any information that identifies you alongside a salary data point, and we never share individual submissions.
Paid features (Membership, CV Boost, Office Hours and paid job listings) are processed by Stripe. We do not see or store your full card details. Stripe handles payment information directly in line with industry security standards (PCI-DSS). We retain a record that a payment was made, its amount, and the product purchased.
We use your browser's local storage (not third-party advertising cookies) to keep you signed in and to remember things like in-progress job posts, saved listings and CV Booster results. See "Cookies and local storage" below.
Where UK and EU data protection law applies, we rely on the following legal bases: performance of a contract (to provide the account and features you sign up for), your consent (for example, when you opt in to email alerts or submit a CV for analysis), and our legitimate interests (for example, keeping the platform secure and improving our services), balanced against your rights.
We share personal data only with the service providers ("processors") that help us run Afrorama, and only to the extent necessary:
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety and security of Afrorama, our members or the public.
Afrorama currently uses only essential browser local storage to operate the site, for example, to keep you signed in, remember your in-progress job post, saved opportunities, and your CV Booster history. We do not currently use third-party advertising or analytics cookies. If this changes in future, we will update this policy and request your consent where required by law.
We retain your account and profile data for as long as your account remains active. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within a reasonable period, except where we are legally required to retain certain records (for example, payment records for tax and accounting purposes).
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@afrorama.org. If you are in the UK or EU and are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office).
Afrorama serves members across Africa, the UK, Europe and beyond. Our service providers may process and store data in countries other than your own. Where this involves a transfer outside the UK or European Economic Area, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as our providers' standard contractual clauses and security certifications.
Afrorama is intended for working professionals, students and jobseekers aged 16 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and database-level security policies (row-level security) that restrict who can read or modify your data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information appropriately.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for legal reasons. We will update the "Last updated" date above, and where changes are significant, we will take reasonable steps to notify you.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, contact us at hello@afrorama.org.
