Privacy Policy

AfrikLink ("we", "us") is a market-entry and business operations platform that helps businesses enter African markets, establish operations, hire and employ talent, stay compliant, and collect payments locally. AfrikLink is responsible for the personal information collected through this website.

Information you give us. When you submit our contact or discovery call form, we collect:

• Your first and last name and email address
• Your job title, company name, and company website
• Details about your inquiry, such as the type of inquiry, the talent you need, the number of hires, and your message

If you email us directly, we receive your email address and anything you include in your message.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider records technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, the pages you request, and the date and time of your visit. We use this information to keep the site running, secure, and free of abuse.

We do not use advertising trackers or third-party analytics on this website.

We use personal information to:

• Respond to your inquiry, schedule discovery calls, and prepare proposals you ask for
• Send you a confirmation that we have received your inquiry
• Provide, maintain, and secure the website, including detecting and preventing spam and fraud
• Comply with our legal obligations and enforce our terms

We process this information because you asked us to (to take steps before entering into a contract with you), because we have a legitimate interest in operating and securing our business, or because the law requires it. We do not sell your personal information.

Public pages of this website do not set cookies for tracking or advertising. We use a single strictly necessary cookie to keep authorized AfrikLink staff signed in to our administration area. It is not set for regular visitors.

We share personal information only with service providers that help us run the website and respond to you, and only as needed for that purpose:

• Vercel — website hosting and file storage
• Resend — delivery of inquiry notifications and confirmation emails
• Neon — database hosting for website content

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights, safety, or property of AfrikLink or others, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case we will require the recipient to honor this policy.

Our service providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live, including the United States. Where we transfer personal information across borders, we take steps to make sure it remains protected in line with this policy and applicable data protection law.

We keep inquiry information for as long as needed to respond to you and manage our business relationship, and afterwards only as long as required for legal, accounting, or record-keeping purposes. Technical logs are kept for a limited period by our hosting provider. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls on our administration area, and reputable infrastructure providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
• Ask us to delete your information
• Object to or ask us to restrict certain processing
• Receive a copy of your information in a portable format
• Withdraw consent, where we rely on consent

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@afriklink.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Our website links to other services, including LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, the Apple App Store, and the AfrikLink talent platform at app.afriklink.com. Some badges on this site are loaded from third-party servers, which may receive your IP address when the page loads. Those services have their own privacy practices, and this policy does not cover them.

If you join the AfrikLink talent network through our app or platform, the information you provide there is handled under the privacy terms presented in that app or platform.

This website is intended for businesses and working professionals. It is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If we make significant changes, we will take reasonable steps to let you know.

If you have questions about this policy or how we handle your personal information, contact us at info@afriklink.com or through our contact page.
