Version 1, in force from 11 November 2026.
TPIA Talent Pool and Practitioners Network: privacy notice
Who we are
The Tanzania Poultry Industry Association (TPIA), Temeke Veterinary, P.O. Box 3978, Dar es Salaam, is responsible for your information. TPIA is registered with the Personal Data Protection Commission. Contact: info@tpia.or.tz.
What we collect, and why
1. To register you and keep in touch: your name, email address, phone number and region. We confirm your email address with a one-time code.
2. For the Talent Pool, so member companies can find you: the roles you want, your skills, the sectors you want to work in, career level, when you can start, whether you would relocate, the working conditions you accept, your education, your jobs in the last 5 years with their duties, a VCT registration number if you give one, and your CV.
3. For the Practitioners Network: your role and highest qualification.
4. Optional, only with the separate reporting consent: your gender and age band, used only to count registrations for reports to partners.
5. Records we keep to show what you agreed to: which version of each consent you accepted, when, and the network (IP) address it was sent from.
6. While you fill in the form, your answers are saved as a draft so you can finish later. Unfinished drafts are deleted after 30 days.
Required fields are marked on the form. We do not ask for your date of birth, ID number, marital status, religion, tribe or referees.
Our reason for using it
Your consent, given on the form for each service separately. You can withdraw it at any time.
Who sees it
- Talent Pool: signed-in staff of TPIA member companies see your profile without your name, phone, email or CV. Those go to one company at a time, only when it asks and TPIA approves; we tell you each time. Member companies agree to use them only to recruit, to keep them to authorised staff, not to pass them on, and to delete them within 6 months.
- Practitioners Network: TPIA staff only. The list is never shared.
- TPIA staff who run the service, and our hosting company, which stores the information for us.
- Partners receive totals only, never anyone's details.
Automated checks
Software compares your form and CV with the names of TPIA member companies, to find people who work for a member now (they cannot join the Talent Pool). It only raises possible matches. A TPIA officer makes every decision, and we tell you if a match puts your application on hold or if your profile will mention a past employer, so you can correct it.
Where it is kept
On servers of TPIA's hosting company, eUKhost, in the United Kingdom. TPIA sends your information outside Tanzania only in line with the Personal Data Protection Act and the conditions of the Personal Data Protection Commission. CVs are stored encrypted. For disaster recovery only, the hosting company also keeps backup copies on separate storage for a limited period. Deleted information disappears from those copies when they expire, and nothing in them is used for any other purpose. To ask where the backups are kept and for how long, write to info@tpia.or.tz.
How long
- Talent Pool: listed 90 days at a time, renewable. Your CV is deleted when you leave, when TPIA removes your registration, or after 12 months without activity.
- Practitioners Network: until you leave; we check once a year.
- If a TPIA officer finds that you hid a current member employer, your registration is removed and, for 12 months, TPIA keeps only a matching code made from your email and phone number, and the reason, to stop a new registration.
Your rights
You can ask to see your information, to correct it, or to delete it, and you can withdraw a consent or object to how it is used. To leave the Talent Pool or the Network, or remove everything, use the link in any email from TPIA or the "Manage my registration" page. For anything else write to info@tpia.or.tz. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Personal Data Protection Commission.
Changes
If this notice changes, the new version is published here with its date. If a change widens what you agreed to, we ask you again.
