Privacy Policy
Last updated: 19 June 2026
The Kampala Index (“we”, “us” or “our”) operates the website at kampalaindex.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our site, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using kampalaindex.com you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
- Information you give us. When you subscribe to job alerts or email updates, we collect the email address (and any name) you provide. When you email us, we receive the contents of your message and your contact details.
- Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically receive standard log and device data when you visit — such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, the referring page, and the date and time of your visit. This is used to keep the site secure and understand how it is used.
- Cookies and similar technologies. We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember your preferences, measure traffic, and serve advertising. See “Cookies and advertising” below.
How we use your information
- To operate, maintain and improve the website and its content;
- To send job alerts and email updates you have requested;
- To respond to your enquiries, corrections and feedback;
- To measure and analyse how the site is used so we can make it better;
- To display relevant advertising that helps keep the site free;
- To detect, prevent and address technical issues, fraud or abuse.
Cookies and advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertising on this site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies through their settings; note that some parts of the site may not function properly without them.
Email job alerts
Our email alerts are delivered using a third-party email service provider, which stores the email address you submit solely for the purpose of sending you the updates you requested. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. You may also email us at admin@kampalaindex.com to be removed.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with the service providers that help us run the site — for example, our hosting provider, analytics, advertising (Google AdSense) and email delivery partners — and only as needed for them to provide those services. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our rights, users or the public.
Third-party links
Job listings and articles often link to external employer websites, application portals and other third-party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies before sharing any information with them.
Data retention and security
We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information; however, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you, and you may unsubscribe from our emails at any time. To make a request, contact us at admin@kampalaindex.com.
Children’s privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
