Privacy notice
Last updated November 2026
We collect as little as possible. You can browse and save jobs without an account, we use no advertising trackers, and we set no cookies for visitors. This notice explains what we do collect.
Who we are
borderlessjobs.africa ("we") runs this website and decides how the information below is used. Contact us about privacy at hello@borderlessjobs.africa.
What we collect and why
Job alerts (only if you sign up)
Your email address, optional role or skill keywords, preferred job types, how often you want emails, when you consented, and whether you have confirmed or unsubscribed. We use this only to send the alerts you asked for. The legal basis is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Listing reports
If you report a problem with a listing we store the job, the reason and any note you write. We do not store who sent it. Please do not include personal details in the note.
Anonymous usage totals
We keep daily counts of job page views, apply-link clicks, searches and filter use, so we know which listings are useful. These totals contain no IP address, cookie, device or browser details, or the words you searched for, and cannot be linked to you. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in improving the service.
Technical logs
Like any website, our hosting provider processes your IP address and browser details to deliver pages, prevent abuse and keep the service secure. We do not use these to identify or profile visitors.
Cookies and browser storage
We set no cookies for visitors. Your browser's own storage keeps your theme choice, the country you picked and the jobs you saved; these stay on your device. To show saved jobs we look up their details by job number only. Signing in to the admin area (for our reviewers) uses essential session cookies.
Who processes data for us
- Supabase stores our database (jobs, alert subscribers, reports, usage totals).
- Vercel hosts the website.
- Resend sends confirmation and alert emails.
- Google (Gemini API) helps us assess job listing text. Only public listing text is sent, never visitor data.
These providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States and the European Union, under their own data protection commitments. We do not sell or rent personal data, and we do not share it with advertisers.
How long we keep it
- Unconfirmed alert signups and unsubscribed records: deleted after 30 days.
- Confirmed alert preferences: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them.
- Resolved listing reports: deleted after 6 months.
- Anonymous usage totals: deleted after about 13 months.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under Nigeria's Data Protection Act, Kenya's Data Protection Act, South Africa's POPIA or the EU GDPR), you can ask to access, correct or delete your data, object to or restrict its use, and withdraw consent. Every alert email has an unsubscribe link, or email hello@borderlessjobs.africa and we will respond within 30 days. You can also complain to your data protection authority, such as the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, Kenya's Office of the Data Protection Commissioner or South Africa's Information Regulator.
Children
The service is for job seekers and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect their data.
Security
Alert data is not readable through our public website or API, links in emails use single-purpose tokens, and access to our systems is limited to the people who run the service.
Changes
If we change this notice we will update the date above. Significant changes will be highlighted on the site.
