4. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION We may share personal information collected through the Feasts Agri-Jobs Platform only in the limited and lawful circumstances described below. All disclosures comply with the Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019, the Employment Act, worker-protection standards, and any other applicable Ugandan regulations.
Sharing is conducted strictly for the purpose of delivering recruitment services, protecting Users, ensuring compliance, and enabling lawful business operations. We do not sell personal information to third parties outside the functional recruitment ecosystem.
Sharing Information with Employers When a Job Seeker is matched to an Employer through our algorithm or when an Employer purchases a permitted access plan, we may share limited Job Seeker information that is strictly necessary for recruitment purposes.
Information Accessible Before Contact Unlock Before an Employer pays to access the Job Seeker’s contact details, they may view only a restricted profile, which may include:
• Skills, work experience, and relevant qualifications • General performance results or scores from the verification or assessment process • Job preferences such as preferred salary range, availability, and work type • High-level behavioral or communication attributes assessed during verification (e.g., communication score, reliability indicators) The following sensitive information is never shared at this stage:
• Photographs or facial images • National ID numbers or sensitive identification details • Full residential address • Next-of-kin information • Any information irrelevant to job suitability • Internal safety or risk notes maintained by Feasts Consultants International This restricted view ensures that Employers can assess suitability but cannot access sensitive or unnecessary personal data.
Information Accessible After Contact Unlock (Paid Access) If an Employer lawfully pays for contact access through a service plan (Direct Connect, Smart Match, Instant Connect Pass, etc.), we may disclose:
• The Job Seeker’s primary phone number • Any additional contact details designated for workplace communication Such disclosure is accompanied by a disclaimer clarifying that:
• Phone numbers may be temporarily unreachable • Job Seekers may no longer be available for work at the time of contact • Feasts does not guarantee employment readiness or responsiveness Information Provided Through Messaging Features The Platform includes internal messaging and notification systems. Employers may receive messages or automated updates when:
• A Job Seeker applies for a role • The matching algorithm identifies a suitable candidate • Feasts communicates system notices, safety alerts, or account updates These communications may include Job Seeker profile elements relevant to the specific interaction.
Sharing Information with Job Seekers Job Seekers may receive Employer information that is required to evaluate the legitimacy of a job opportunity, which may include:
• Employer name, business description, and farm or agribusiness details • Job title, responsibilities, working conditions, and location • Payment range or remuneration details • Employer-provided contact details, when disclosed through a permitted connection pathway • Safety notices or disclaimers associated with the job We do not disclose sensitive Employer records, internal risk assessments, or proprietary business information.
Sharing With Service Providers We may share limited personal information with carefully selected third-party service providers that support Platform operations. These providers may include:
• Cloud hosting and infrastructure providers • Payment processors • Fraud-detection and account-security tools • Customer support systems • Email and communication delivery services • Data-storage and analytics providers • Platform maintenance and system-monitoring contractors All service providers are contractually bound by strict confidentiality, data-protection, and restricted-use obligations and are not permitted to use personal information for their own purposes.
Sharing for Legal, Safety, and Regulatory Compliance We may disclose personal information when necessary to:
• Comply with a lawful request, court order, warrant, or statutory obligation • Respond to labour-related inquiries from competent authorities such as:
o The Ministry of Gender, Labour & Social Development o Uganda Police Force o Anti-trafficking or worker-protection agencies o Local government labour officers • Protect the safety, rights, or security of Users or the public • Investigate or prevent suspected fraud, exploitation, human trafficking, unsafe recruitment, or violations of our Terms • Assist authorities in locating or supporting vulnerable persons at risk Such disclosures are made with caution and only to the extent required by law or necessary to protect legitimate interests.
Sharing During Business Transfers If Feasts Consultants International undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, asset sale, or similar corporate transaction, personal information may be transferred to the succeeding entity. Any such transfer will:
• Follow lawful procedures • Uphold existing privacy commitments • Maintain or exceed the protections described in this Policy Users will be notified where required by law or where such changes materially alter how their data is processed.
5. YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES The Feasts Agri-Jobs Platform is designed to collect, process, and utilize the information you provide in order to deliver employment-matching and recruitment- related services. By creating an account and submitting information on the Platform, you acknowledge that such data becomes part of the operational database through which our matching algorithms function.
While we respect and uphold user rights in accordance with applicable Ugandan data- protection and digital-service standards, the following rights and choices apply specifically to the manner in which the Platform operates:
Right to View and Monitor Your Profile Information You may, at any time, log into your account to view the information you submitted during registration. Because the Platform’s matching and verification systems depend on accurate data, we maintain continuous access to such information for operational purposes.
Right to Correct or Update Your Information Users have the right under Section 16 of the Data Protection and Privacy Act to correct or update their personal information at no cost. You may freely edit your profile details including skills, qualifications, and employment history at any time directly through the Platform.
Verification fees apply only where a User requests Feasts Consultants to verify the accuracy of the updated information. Verification is an optional, value-added service that involves independent assessment to confirm the truthfulness of submitted data. Fees are therefore charged for the verification service, not for correcting the data itself.
Right to Delete Your Account or Request Erasure In accordance with Section 25 of the Data Protection and Privacy Act, Users have the right to request deletion of their account and the erasure of personal data, except where retention is required by law or necessary for safety, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or compliance with labour or recruitment regulations.
Upon receiving a valid erasure request: • We will delete or anonymize personal data that is no longer legally or operationally required.
• Certain records may be retained where mandated by Ugandan law (e.g., financial records, fraud-prevention logs, anti-trafficking documentation, or legally required recruitment audit trails).
No Right to Restrict or Object to Core Processing Activities Because the Platform’s core functionality relies on analyzing submitted information to match employers and job seekers, users cannot restrict, limit, or object to the processing of data that is essential to:
• candidate matching, • contact sharing where authorized through paid access, or • Regulatory compliance obligations.
Right to Decline Browser Notifications Users may disable or refuse browser-based notifications at any time through device or browser settings. This choice does not affect your access to the Platform.
Right to Withdraw from Marketing Communications Where optional promotional messages or marketing updates exist, you may opt out at any time by following the instructions in the communication or by contacting us directly.
How to Exercise Your Rights Any request relating to updates, corrections, or account-associated concerns may be submitted through the following channels:
Email: admin@feasts.co.ug Website Contact Page: https://feasts.co.ug/contact/ Requests will be addressed within the response timeframe permitted under applicable laws and operational guidelines.
6. DATA RETENTION The Feasts Agri-Jobs Platform retains personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including recruitment operations, verification, safety protection, legal compliance, and the maintenance of accurate platform records. Retention periods are therefore determined by operational needs, regulatory obligations, and legitimate business requirements, but not in perpetuity.
Operational Retention of User Data Personal information provided by Job Seekers and Employers is kept for as long as the User maintains an active account and continues to use the Platform’s services.
Because our matching algorithms, verification systems, and recruitment workflows rely on the integrity of historical data, profile information forms part of an ongoing operational record for the period in which it remains necessary for the delivery of our services.
This may include identity details, contact information, employment history, skills, verification results, placement records, and communication logs generated through Platform activity.
Verification, Accountability, and Fraud-Prevention Retention Retention of certain records may continue for a defined period after a User ceases using the Platform, where such records are still required to:
• Support traceability of recruitment decisions, • Prevent or investigate fraud, misrepresentation, or unsafe behavior, • Manage complaints submitted under the one-month replacement guarantee.
• Enforce Platform rules and obligations, • Maintain accurate audit trails for dispute handling and user protection.
Such information is retained only for the duration necessary to satisfy these legitimate purposes.
Retention for Legal and Regulatory Compliance The Platform may retain information for a specified period to comply with obligations imposed by Ugandan law, including labour-related investigations, anti-trafficking assessments, or lawful requests from regulatory bodies and law-enforcement agencies.
Only information strictly required for such compliance will be preserved, and it will be kept no longer than is necessary to meet the legal requirement.
Retention for Business and Contractual Requirements To preserve transparency and accountability in transactions where Users access paid contact information, the Platform may retain records documenting which data was accessed, by whom, when, and for what service. These records are preserved for a defined period that is sufficient to confirm the validity of transactions, protect Users, and resolve any disputes arising from recruitment activities.
Duration of Retention Unless a longer retention period is required by law or justified by an ongoing operational need, personal information will be retained for a reasonable period typically not exceeding two to three years after the last active use of the Platform. After this period, information will be securely deleted or anonymized, unless outstanding obligations, investigations, complaints, or safety considerations require a longer retention period that can be justified under applicable data-protection principles.
Secure Storage, Archiving, and Anonymization Where data is no longer required for identifiable operational, business, or legal purposes, it will be transitioned to secure archival storage for the remainder of the retention period, or irreversibly anonymized for statistical, analytical, or platform- improvement purposes. Anonymized data is stripped of identifying elements and cannot be linked back to any individual.
7. DATA SECURITY Feasts implements a multi-layered data-security framework designed to safeguard all personal information entrusted to the Platform. Because our services involve the exchange of sensitive employer and job-seeker information including contact details, work histories, verification outcomes, and transaction logs we prioritize strong protection measures aligned with industry standards for digital recruitment and online service platforms.
Technical Safeguards We employ a range of technical controls to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of user data. These include, but are not limited to:
• Encryption protocols that protect data transmitted between user devices and the Platform, as well as encryption applied to stored sensitive fields.
• Secure server environments, hosted on reputable cloud infrastructure with continuous security patching, hardened configurations, and redundancy mechanisms to prevent data loss.
• Role-based access controls (RBAC) that ensure only authorized personnel within Feasts can view or handle specific categories of data necessary for verification, system monitoring, support, fraud checks, or legal compliance.
• Automated activity monitoring and logging that track system interactions, suspicious behavior, access attempts, and abnormalities connected to account misuse or fraudulent activity.
• Regular vulnerability assessments and security reviews to continuously evaluate the Platform’s defences, identify potential weaknesses, and implement corrective measures in line with evolving cybersecurity standards.
Organizational Safeguards Beyond technical protections, Feasts maintains internal processes to ensure that data is handled responsibly throughout its lifecycle. These include:
• Strict confidentiality obligations for staff who administer, verify, or review platform data.
• Controlled internal workflows that limit the categories of staff who can access user information, particularly sensitive fields.
• Verification protocols that ensure data provided by job seekers and employers is reviewed responsibly and used only for legitimate recruitment and compliance purposes.
• Audit-trail preservation, ensuring that all access, modification, or release of data such as when contact information is purchased is traceable and stored securely.
User-Side Security Expectations While Feasts implements strong protective measures, no digital system can guarantee absolute security. Users are encouraged to take reasonable precautions to protect their own information, including:
• safeguarding passwords and account credentials, • avoiding the sharing of login details with third parties, • Exercising caution when responding to calls or messages outside the Platform, especially given the increasing cases of digital fraud targeting farmers and job seekers in Uganda.
External Threat Management Given the nature of our service and the sectors we serve, Feasts has developed mechanisms to identify and mitigate external threats such as impersonation, phishing, and fraudulent job postings. Suspicious activities are flagged for review, and where necessary, Feasts may suspend or investigate accounts to maintain platform integrity and user safety.
Security Incident Response In the unlikely event of a data breach or security compromise, Feasts follows a structured incident-response protocol that includes:
• immediate containment efforts, • internal assessment and logging of the event, • actions to prevent further unauthorized access, • And, where legally required, notification to affected users or authorities.
8. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS The Feasts Agri-Jobs Platform operates within a modern digital environment that may involve the controlled transfer or storage of personal information outside Uganda. This may occur where our cloud-hosting partners, communication systems, analytics tools, payment processors, or cybersecurity service providers maintain infrastructure in other jurisdictions. In such cases, your information may be processed in countries whose data-protection regimes differ from those in Uganda.
Feasts ensures that any cross-border transfer of personal data is conducted only where the destination country or service provider offers an adequate and lawful level of protection. To meet this obligation, international transfers occur strictly under safeguards that uphold the confidentiality, integrity, and security of User information. These measures include:
• Contractual protections, such as binding data-processing agreements requiring service providers to handle information only on Feasts’ documented instructions and for legitimate operational purposes;
• Technical and security controls, including encryption in transit and at rest, access-limitation protocols, and continuous monitoring to maintain protection regardless of the jurisdiction;
• Rigorous due-diligence assessments of third-party processors to confirm that their security posture, data-handling standards, and privacy frameworks provide a level of protection comparable to what Uganda’s data-protection principles require;
• Data-minimization practices that limit international transfer to only what is necessary for the specific service being delivered.
Where the law requires additional guarantees to validate the adequacy of protection, Feasts implements those safeguards before any transfer is allowed. Regardless of the country in which processing occurs, Feasts remains responsible for ensuring that the protection applied to User information meets the standards set out in this Privacy Policy and reflects our ongoing commitment to lawful, secure, and accountable data handling.
9. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY Feasts Consultants International is fully committed to protecting the privacy, dignity, and safety of children in accordance with the Uganda Data Protection and Privacy Act (DPPA) and Ugandan labour laws governing the employment of minors.
The Feasts Agri-Jobs Platform is strictly intended for use by adults aged eighteen (18) years and above. We do not knowingly permit individuals below the age of 18 to register, access, or use the Platform.
Under exceptional circumstances where Ugandan labour laws explicitly permit certain categories of minors (e.g., children aged 14–17 performing light agricultural work under supervision and with proper authorization), access to the Platform is only allowed when:
1. A parent or legal guardian provides verifiable, informed consent, and 2. All required approvals under applicable labour regulations have been met, and 3. Strict age and identity verification controls confirm the minor’s eligibility under the law.
Outside these narrow legal exceptions, no minor is permitted to use the Platform. Collection and Processing of Children’s Data Feasts does not knowingly collect, process, or store personal information from children without lawful authorization and parental consent. Our onboarding processes including identity verification, mobile number validation, and in-person skills assessment are designed to detect and prevent underage registration.
Actions Taken Upon Detection of Underage Use If Feasts becomes aware, whether through internal checks, user reporting, or third-party notification, that personal data belonging to a minor has been collected in violation of applicable laws or without proper consent:
We will take immediate corrective action, including: • Suspending and disabling the account, • Securely deleting all personal information associated with the minor, and • Notifying the parent/guardian or relevant authority where legally required.
User Responsibility We encourage all users to promptly report any suspicion or evidence that a minor has attempted to use the Platform without proper authorization. This enables Feasts to respond swiftly, protect the child’s privacy, and remain fully compliant with the DPPA and relevant labour laws.
10. COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES The Feasts Agri-Jobs Platform uses cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) to enhance user experience, support platform functionality, and collect analytical insights that inform system performance and operational improvements. These technologies are embedded in both the Platform’s web interface and supporting systems, enabling the Platform to provide a seamless, secure, and personalized experience for Employers and Job Seekers.
Purpose and Use of Cookies Cookies serve multiple operational and functional purposes on the Platform, including but not limited to:
• Enabling core platform functionality, such as maintaining session states during account login, facilitating the matching algorithm, and ensuring secure access to paid services like contact retrieval;
• Analyzing platform usage, including the tracking of page visits, feature interactions, and algorithmic outcomes, which allows Feasts to monitor and optimize the efficiency, responsiveness, and reliability of the Platform;
• Personalizing user experience, such as storing user preferences, tailoring job recommendations, and presenting contextual notifications, ensuring that the content displayed aligns with the skills, preferences, and account status of individual Users.
Control and Management of Cookies Users retain a measure of control over Cookies through their browser or device settings.
Browsers typically allow Users to: • Block or delete Cookies, • Receive notifications when a Cookie is set, or • Restrict certain types of tracking.
However, Users are advised that restricting or disabling essential Cookies may limit access to specific Platform functionalities, including the operation of the matching algorithm, in-app messaging, and the secure display of job postings and contact details.
Third-Party Cookies and Tracking The Platform may also deploy Cookies or other tracking technologies through trusted third-party service providers, such as analytics, cloud infrastructure, email services, payment gateways, and fraud-prevention tools. These third parties are bound by contractual and confidentiality obligations to process the data solely for purposes consistent with the Platform’s operations, including security, performance monitoring, and service optimization. Feasts does not control how third-party vendors use these Cookies outside the scope of the services we provide.
Transparency and Access Feasts is committed to transparency regarding the use of tracking technologies.
Detailed information about the specific types of Cookies, their purpose, lifespan, and operational impact is available in a separate Cookie Policy, which may be requested by Users at any time. Users are encouraged to review this Policy to make informed decisions about their online activity while using the Platform.
Compliance with Legal Standards All Cookies and tracking activities are implemented in accordance with applicable Ugandan digital laws and international best practices regarding data protection, user consent, and privacy. While certain operational Cookies are essential for the functioning of the Platform, Users’ ability to manage non-essential tracking reflects Feasts’ commitment to responsible data stewardship and user autonomy.
11. THIRD-PARTY LINKS The Feasts Agri-Jobs Platform may contain links, references, or integrations to external websites, platforms, or services that are not owned, managed, or controlled by Feasts Consultants International (“Third-Party Sites”). These links are provided solely for convenience and do not constitute any endorsement, approval, or guarantee of the third party’s content, products, or services.
Although the Platform may rely on certain external tools or services such as cloud hosting, analytics, payment processors, or communication systems Feasts does not control how these Third-Party Sites collect, process, store, or secure personal information. Users are strongly advised to review the privacy policies, terms of service, and data-handling practices of any external site before sharing personal information or engaging with those services.
Feasts expressly disclaims all responsibility and liability for the privacy practices, security standards, accuracy of content, or legal compliance of any Third-Party Site. Any interaction between a User and a third party including issues such as data misuse, security breaches, or fraudulent conduct occurs solely at the User’s own risk and outside Feasts’ responsibility.
Where possible, Feasts limits the automatic exchange of information with Third-Party Sites, and any necessary integrations operate under contractual, technical, and confidentiality safeguards. However, Users acknowledge that once personal information is transmitted to or processed by a Third-Party Site, Feasts cannot guarantee that the same protections provided within the Platform will apply.
12.

Such updates may be prompted by enhancements to the Platform’s functionality, the introduction of new services, changes in Ugandan law or applicable international data-protection frameworks, or adjustments to our partnerships with third-party service providers.
Any material changes to this Privacy Policy will be prominently communicated to Users through notifications on the Platform, email alerts, or in-app messaging, where technically feasible. Non-material changes may be applied immediately and published directly on the Platform without individual notification, but will remain accessible for Users’ review at all times.
The effective date of any update or revision is indicated at the top of this Privacy Policy. Continued access to or use of the Feasts Agri-Jobs Platform following the posting of any revised Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of and agreement to the updated terms.
Users who do not agree with the modifications are encouraged to discontinue using the Platform and, where necessary, take appropriate steps to secure or withdraw their personal information in accordance with the rights and procedures outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Feasts strongly encourages all Users to periodically review this Privacy Policy to remain informed about how their personal information is collected, used, and shared, as well as any modifications to the Platform’s practices that may affect their rights or obligations.
