Privacy Guidelines
Practical privacy guidance for contributors and users of the platform
These guidelines explain the privacy expectations contributors should follow when sharing content on Dzaleka Online Services.
Protect personal information
Take extra care when sharing:
- full names
- phone numbers and email addresses
- home or exact location details
- information about children or vulnerable people
- health, legal, or case-related details
Get consent before sharing
Consent is especially important for:
- photos of identifiable people
- personal stories
- audio or video recordings
- group activities where individuals may be sensitive about being published
If you are not sure whether consent is clear, do not publish the material yet.
Be careful with sensitive content
Do not upload content that:
- puts someone at risk
- reveals confidential case details
- exposes protected cultural knowledge without permission
- shares private data that is not needed for the public record
If you need something corrected or removed
Use one of these support routes:
Include the page link and explain what needs to be reviewed.
Good privacy practice for contributors
- use only the details needed for public understanding
- avoid unnecessary personal identifiers
- double-check names, dates, and image captions
- ask before uploading someone else’s photo or story
