Privacy
What we collect, why, and the control you have over it. Written in plain language.
Who we are
HireHabesha runs a curated jobs and talent network for Ethiopia, based in Addis Ababa. When this page says "we", it means the HireHabesha team.
What we collect
When you create a profile or apply for a role, we collect what you give us:
- your name, email address and, if you add them, phone number and LinkedIn profile
- your profile: title, experience, skills, location, a short bio and, if you upload them, a photo and CV
- the roles you save and apply for, and messages you send us
We also collect basic technical information needed to run the site securely, such as your browser type and the pages you visit.
How we use it
- to run your account and show you roles that fit
- to send your application to the company you apply to
- to introduce you to a company, only after you accept the intro
- to reply when you contact us
- to keep the service secure and working well
Who can see your profile
Your phone number and email address are never shown on your public profile. The public version of your profile shows your first name and initial, title, skills and a short bio. Signed in members and companies our team has checked can see more of your profile, unless you switch visibility off in your dashboard.
Who we share it with
We share your application with the company you apply to. We use trusted service providers to host the site, store data, handle sign in and send email, and they only process data on our instructions. We do not sell your personal data.
How long we keep it
We keep your profile while your account is open. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete your profile and CV, except where we need to keep a record for legal reasons.
Your choices
- see, correct or download the data we hold about you
- hide your profile at any time from your dashboard
- ask us to delete your account
To do any of these, contact us.
Changes
If we change how we use your data in a meaningful way, we will tell you by email or on this page before the change takes effect.
