Privacy policy

Last updated: 17 October 2026

This policy explains what personal data FursaTele collects, why, and your rights. We follow the Tanzania Personal Data Protection Act, 2022.

What we collect

If you only browse the website: we do not ask for any personal data. Our web host keeps standard server logs (such as IP address and browser type) for security.

If you subscribe to email alerts:

• your email address and, if you give it, your first name;
• the types of opportunities you chose and how often you want emails;
• if you fill them in, your education level, field of study or work, and years of experience;
• the date you gave consent and confirmed your email, and the IP address used to sign up (to prevent abuse);
• which opportunities we have already sent you, so we don’t send them twice.

If you get alerts on Telegram: we keep your Telegram chat number (a number Telegram gives our bot so it can message you), your first name as shown on Telegram, and your language. We do not see your phone number or your other chats. You can stop at any time by sending /stop to the bot.

If you use the chat helper: we keep the questions you type (for example "nursing jobs in Mwanza") for up to 6 months, without your name, to learn what people look for. Email addresses and phone numbers are removed before saving. Please don’t type personal details in the chat.

Why we use it

• To send you the opportunities you asked for, and only those that match your choices.
• To let you change your choices or unsubscribe.
• To protect the service from spam and abuse.

Our legal basis is your consent, which you give when you subscribe. You can withdraw it at any time.

What we never do

• We never sell, rent or share your data for marketing.
• We never send your details to employers or scholarship providers.
• We never ask for passwords, ID numbers or bank details.

Who processes it

Your data is stored on our web hosting server, emails are sent through our email service, and Telegram messages are delivered by Telegram. These providers handle the data only to run FursaTele.

How long we keep it

We keep your subscription while it is active. When you unsubscribe or send /stop, we stop those alerts immediately. If you ask, we delete your data completely.

Cookies and browser storage

• Language cookie: remembers whether you chose English or Swahili.
• Session cookie: used only on the subscribe form, to protect it from fake submissions.
• Saved opportunities: the ones you “Save” are kept only in your own browser, not on our server.

We do not use advertising cookies.

Your rights

You can ask to see the data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or object to its use. Use the “Change your choices” or “Unsubscribe” link in any FursaTele email, or write to us.
