Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 4, 2026 • Last Reviewed: September 4, 2026
Center Board is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the Kenya Data Protection Act (2019) and international data privacy best practices.

Table of Contents
Summary at a Glance: Center Board does not sell your personal data. We collect only what you voluntarily submit (such as contact inquiries or newsletter subscriptions). Our interactive career tools (AI CV Builder, Cover Letter Maker, and Tax Calculators) operate locally in your browser memory and do not store your private resumes or financial calculations on our servers.

Center Board ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website located at https://centerboard.co.ke (the "Platform"). Center Board is an established career, recruitment intelligence, and HR payroll information platform physically headquartered at:

Center Board
Marsabit Plaza, Ngong Road
Nairobi, Kenya
Email: info@centerboard.co.ke
Phone: +254 798 983 368

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Platform, access our career research guides, utilize our statutory tax and salary calculators, review job vacancies, or interact with our career advisory tools. This policy applies to all visitors, job candidates, and enterprise clients.

We adhere strictly to data minimization principles. We only collect personal information that is necessary for providing our services or communicating with you:

  • Voluntarily Provided Contact Data: When you reach out via our Contact form or send an inquiry to info@centerboard.co.ke, we collect your full name, email address, phone number (if supplied), subject, and the contents of your message.
  • Newsletter Subscriptions: When you subscribe to our hiring and career insights newsletter in the website footer or blog pages, we collect your email address solely to deliver relevant updates. You may unsubscribe at any time via the link in our emails or by writing to us.
  • Automated Technical & Server Log Data: Like most web servers, our infrastructure automatically records standard technical parameters when your browser requests a page. This includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser user-agent string, operating system, referring URLs, date and time stamps, and requested pages. This log data is used exclusively for technical diagnostics, network security, and server load balancing.

Transparency regarding our specialized interactive tools is paramount:

  • AI CV Builder & Cover Letter Maker: When you enter professional credentials, employment history, education, or contact details into our AI CV Builder (tool-cv-builder.html) or Cover Letter Generator (tool-cover-letter.html), that data is handled client-side in your local browser runtime. Center Board does not upload, harvest, or store your un-submitted resume drafts or personal biographies in a central database. When you request AI summary enhancement, only the prompt context you choose is transmitted via secured API to our AI generation provider (e.g., Google Gemini API) for instantaneous processing, after which you retain exclusive possession of your generated PDF or document.
  • Statutory Tax & Salary Calculators: When you input salary amounts, pension parameters, or mortgage figures into our Kenyan or international tax calculators, all arithmetic computations are executed in real time via JavaScript in your local browser. Your salary numbers are never transmitted, recorded, or linked to your identity.

Under Section 30 of the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019, we process personal data only when an authorized legal basis applies:

  • Consent: For newsletter subscriptions and direct contact inquiries where you explicitly provide your details.
  • Contractual & Pre-Contractual Steps: To evaluate recruitment partnership inquiries, enterprise HR consultations, or client service requests.
  • Legitimate Interests: To maintain website security, prevent fraud and malicious activity, protect intellectual property, and ensure consistent platform reliability.
  • Legal Obligations: Where disclosure is required by Kenyan regulatory authorities or applicable statutory laws.

We implement robust technical and organizational security safeguards to protect your personal data:

  • Encryption in Transit: All communication between your device and Center Board is secured using Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS).
  • Access Controls: Inquiries sent to info@centerboard.co.ke are accessible only by authorized Center Board personnel bound by strict confidentiality duties.
  • Data Retention: General contact correspondence is retained only as long as required to resolve your inquiry or support ongoing business relationships, after which it is securely deleted or anonymized.

Center Board utilizes carefully vetted external service providers to deliver an optimized user experience:

  • Google Fonts: Web typography is delivered via Google Fonts. When your browser requests fonts, Google may receive technical request metadata (such as IP address) to serve font files efficiently.
  • Google Maps: On our Contact page, we embed an interactive map displaying our Marsabit Plaza office. Interacting with the map may communicate location and device data to Google subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Social Media Links: Our website contains outbound links to our official social media channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and WhatsApp). We do not transmit your personal data to these networks; your interactions on external platforms are governed by their respective privacy terms.

Center Board is structured to provide transparent disclosure regarding advertising and tracking technologies:

  • Current State: The Platform does not currently deploy tracking cookies, behavior-profiling beacons, or commercial advertising scripts.
  • Future Advertising Partners: To keep our career guides, statutory tax calculators, and AI tools free and accessible for job seekers and professionals across East Africa, Center Board may integrate third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense, in the future.
  • Disclosure of Advertising Cookies: When advertising is implemented:
    1. Third-party vendors, including Google, will use cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet.
    2. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to Center Board and/or other sites on the Internet.
    3. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings or by visiting www.aboutads.info.
