Privacy policy
How we collect, use and protect personal information.
This policy explains how Saarve AI ("Saarve", "we", "us"), a company based in Nairobi, Kenya, collects and uses personal information through saarve-ai.com and in running our business. We handle personal data in line with Kenya's Data Protection Act, 2019, and we respect the rights of people in other countries whose data we handle, including under the EU and UK GDPR where they apply.
1. Information we collect
When you request a pilot or quote
Your name, company (optional), work email address, and the details you share about your project.
When you apply to join our team
Your full name, email, phone or WhatsApp number, city and country, roles of interest, annotation experience, tools used, languages, available hours, equipment and internet, any profile link you share, and anything else you tell us in your application.
When you email or message us
Your contact details and the content of your messages.
Technical information
Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically processes basic technical data such as IP address, browser type and request logs to deliver the site and keep it secure. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels on this website.
2. How we use it
- To respond to pilot and quote requests and to provide our services.
- To assess job applications, contact applicants, and onboard people who join our team.
- To run, secure and improve our website.
- To meet legal, tax and accounting obligations.
We rely on your consent (when you submit a form), on steps you ask us to take before entering a contract, on our legitimate interest in running our business, and on legal obligations. We never sell personal information.
3. Who we share it with
We share personal information only with service providers that help us operate, and only as far as needed:
- Website hosting: Vercel, which hosts saarve-ai.com.
- Email delivery and mailboxes: Resend, which delivers form submissions to our team, and our email providers.
- Fonts: Google Fonts, which serves the typefaces on this site and may receive your IP address.
- Professional advisers and authorities where the law requires it.
Some of these providers process data outside Kenya, including in the United States. Where that happens, we rely on the safeguards those providers offer for international transfers.
4. How long we keep it
We keep pilot and sales enquiries for as long as we have a business relationship or for up to two years after our last contact. We keep job applications for up to 12 months so we can consider you for future projects, unless you ask us to delete them sooner. We keep records needed for legal or tax reasons for as long as the law requires.
5. Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your personal information, object to or restrict how we use it, withdraw consent, or ask for a copy in a portable format. To make a request, email joseph.mwanzia@saarve-ai.com. We'll respond within the time the law allows. If you're not satisfied, you can complain to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner in Kenya, or to the data protection authority where you live.
6. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, including restricted access and secure, encrypted connections to this website. No system is perfectly secure, so please don't send sensitive personal data through our website forms.
7. Children
Our website and services are not directed at children, and applicants must be 18 or older.
8. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
