This notice covers applications and employer enquiries submitted to The Talent Desk. It is version 5, dated 20 October 2026.
What we collect and why
We collect your contact details, general area of residence, relevant work history and CV, licence class and experience, relevant driving record disclosures, availability, expected salary and screening answers to review your suitability and contact you about this vacancy. We also record the application reference and submission time. We do not request National ID scans, Certificate of Good Conduct uploads, photographs, health details, bank details or referee contact details at the initial stage. Please remove unnecessary personal information from your CV before uploading. CVs are stored privately with the application and are available only to authorised reviewers.
Who uses your information
Authorised recruitment reviewers use your information. Relevant application information may be shared with the confidential hiring client for this vacancy. The client’s identity and any later checks will be explained at the appropriate stage. Your application is not used for unrelated marketing or automatically added to a future talent pool.
Storage and retention
Applications and uploaded CVs are collected and stored through Tally, with access limited to authorised recruitment reviewers. If Google Sheets integration is enabled, responses are also copied to a private recruitment spreadsheet. We review initial application records for deletion after 180 days; a separate notice will explain any necessary employment record retention if you are hired. We do not use automated decision-making to shortlist candidates.
Your choices and rights
You may request access, correction, withdrawal or deletion and raise questions about how your information is handled. A withdrawal may mean we cannot continue your application. You may also raise a concern with Kenya’s Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.
For privacy requests, contact hello@talentdesk.co.ke, quoting your application reference where available.
Employer enquiries
For employer enquiries, we collect your organisation and contact details, hiring need, responsibilities, location, arrangement and timing, service interest, role status and any context or optional document you supply. We record submission time, a reference and the source page or referrer path where available, without retaining referrer query strings. We use this information to review your enquiry and contact you about the appropriate next step. Only authorised recruitment reviewers use these enquiry records; they are not published automatically or used for unrelated marketing. Enquiries and attachments are collected through Tally and may be copied to a private Google Sheet when that integration is enabled. Authorised reviewers manage access and any exports. We review enquiry records and attachments in Tally and any connected private spreadsheet for deletion after 180 days unless a separate agreed service requires a different record policy. You may use the privacy contact above to request access, correction or deletion. Please avoid including third-party personal information in an initial enquiry.
Before you apply
Only include information relevant to the role. Do not disclose another person’s contact details or private family information. Reference and background checks will be explained separately before they take place. Embedded forms are provided by Tally, which processes form responses and uploads. Please also read Tally’s privacy information. We do not add advertising trackers.
