Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Zimbabwe Global Talent Network ("ZGTN," "we," "us," or "our") connects Zimbabwean professionals at home and around the world with jobs, mentorship, business opportunities, partnerships, investment, and national-development initiatives. Aramunj Group LLC supports ZGTN as a technology partner for website, data, automation, AI-readiness, and platform operations.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, phone number, country, city, profession, role, sector, profile details, skills, interests, profile photo or avatar, application notes, saved jobs, connection requests, posts, comments, messages, subscriptions, contact inquiries, and partner or organization information.

We may also collect basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring pages, access times, error logs, and general usage activity. This helps us keep the website secure, troubleshoot issues, understand performance, and improve the user experience.

3. How We Use Information

ZGTN uses information to create and manage accounts, maintain member profiles, help members discover relevant jobs and opportunities, support mentorship and volunteer matching, send requested communications, respond to inquiries, manage partner relationships, prevent misuse, improve the website, and operate administrative workflows.

We do not require users to submit highly sensitive personal information through general website forms. Please avoid submitting financial account numbers, government identity documents, medical records, or other sensitive information unless ZGTN specifically requests it through an approved secure workflow.

4. Profiles, Posts, and Network Activity

Information you add to your profile may be visible to other members, administrators, or partners depending on platform settings and future directory features. Posts, comments, connection activity, and profile information may be used to make the member dashboard and feed more useful.

5. Jobs, Applications, and Partner Opportunities

If you view, save, or apply for a job or opportunity through ZGTN, we may store that activity so you can manage it from your account. Some applications may redirect to an external employer or partner website. Information submitted on third-party websites is governed by that third party's privacy practices.

6. Subscriptions and Communications

If you subscribe to updates, we may use your name, email, and selected interests to send news, events, announcements, partner updates, and professional engagement opportunities. You may unsubscribe or contact ZGTN to update your communication preferences.

7. How We Share Information

We may share information with ZGTN administrators, approved operational partners, technology service providers, hosting providers, email providers, analytics providers, and authorized partners when needed to operate the platform or deliver requested services. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or to investigate misuse of the website.

We do not sell personal information as a core business practice.

8. Cookies and Analytics

ZGTN may use cookies, session storage, logs, and lightweight analytics to keep users signed in, remember preferences, measure page usage, improve performance, and understand which features are helpful. Browser settings may allow you to limit cookies, but some platform features may not work properly without them.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No website, database, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Data Retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably needed to operate ZGTN, maintain accounts, provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce terms, and support legitimate operational records. Users may contact ZGTN to request updates, deletion, or access to account information where applicable.

11. Your Choices

You may update your profile from your dashboard, unsubscribe from non-essential communications, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion of an account where feasible, or contact ZGTN with privacy questions. Certain information may be retained where needed for security, legal, audit, or operational reasons.

12. International Users

ZGTN may be accessed by users in Zimbabwe, the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Canada, Australia, and other countries. By using the platform, you understand that information may be processed in countries where ZGTN, its technology partners, or service providers operate.

13. Children

ZGTN is intended for professional, business, student, graduate, institutional, and partner use. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the platform grows. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
