Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026 · To be reviewed by legal counsel before launch
Information We Collect
When you create an account, we collect your username, email address, and (optionally) phone number. We also store the content you post — discussions, comments, votes, reactions, and messages.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to operate the forum: authenticating your account, displaying your posts, sending notifications you've opted into, and maintaining platform security. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Anonymity and Pseudonymity
Your username does not need to reflect your real name. We encourage members who wish to discuss sensitive workplace experiences to choose a username that does not identify them. Verification badges (e.g., "Verified Current Employee") are processed privately and do not reveal your identity to other members.
Cookies
We use cookies to keep you logged in and to understand site usage in aggregate. Advertising partners may use cookies to serve relevant ads; you can manage ad preferences via your browser settings.
Data Retention
We retain account data while your account is active. If you delete your account, your profile is removed, but posts may remain (anonymised) to preserve discussion context for other members, consistent with our Terms of Service.
Your Rights
You may request a copy of your data or request deletion by contacting us via the Contact page. We comply with the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and align with GDPR principles for international members.
