didact-one Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 26, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how JANT LLC ("didact-one," "we," "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the didact-one website and mobile applications (the "Platform").

1. Information We Collect

You provide directly

  • Account information: full name, email address, password (stored as a one-way cryptographic hash — we never store or can retrieve your actual password), and optionally a phone number.
  • Organization information: organization name, and if you provide it, a D-U-N-S® Number or other business-identity documentation.
  • Talent profile information: headline, bio, hourly rate, and skills, if you create a Talent Profile.
  • Tax information: if you are paid through the Platform, your legal name, address, and tax identification number (a US Social Security or Employer Identification Number, or a foreign tax ID), and your signed certification, so we can meet US tax-reporting requirements. The tax identification number is encrypted, and only its last four digits are ever shown back to you.
  • Payout details: the method you choose to be paid (for example a Wise or Payoneer account, bank details, or a mobile money number) and your payout history.
  • Documents and support requests: files you attach to a contract or dispute, and messages you send to our support team.
  • Content you create: project postings, proposals, messages between contract parties, and ratings/reviews.

Collected automatically or from third parties

  • Sanctions screening results: when an Organization is created, we compare its name against the U.S. Treasury Department's published sanctions lists on our own systems, and store the result (clear or flagged) and any matched entries. The name is not sent to a government service for this. It is a compliance requirement, not a marketing or profiling use of your data — see Section 6.
  • Usage data: standard technical logs (IP address, device/browser type, pages or screens visited, timestamps) generated by using the Platform.
  • Sign-in security data: the network addresses you sign in from, so we can tell you about a sign-in from a place we have not seen before, and whether two-factor authentication is on.
  • Error and performance data: reports from our error-tracking and hosting providers when the Platform fails, which can include technical details of your request.

We do not collect precise location data, biometric data, or payment card numbers directly. Where a third-party payment provider is used to process or disburse a payment, that provider handles such data under its own privacy terms (see Section 4).

2. How We Use Information

We use the information above to:

  • Create and maintain your account;
  • Operate the marketplace (matching clients and talent, facilitating proposals, contracts, messages, and ratings);
  • Screen Organizations against sanctions/denied-party lists before they can transact, as legally required;
  • Communicate with you about your account or transactions;
  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and violations of our Terms of Service;
  • Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Legal Bases (for users in jurisdictions that require this)

Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing (for example, the EU/UK GDPR), we process your information based on: performance of a contract with you (operating the marketplace), compliance with a legal obligation (sanctions screening, tax/financial recordkeeping), and our legitimate interests (fraud prevention, platform security), balanced against your rights.

4. Who We Share Information With

  • Other users, as part of how the Platform works: a Talent Profile's headline, name, skills, hourly rate, and ratings are visible to anyone browsing talent. A Project posting is visible to anyone browsing projects. Messages within a contract are visible only to that contract's client organization members and the talent.
  • Service providers who help us run the Platform: hosting and infrastructure providers, payment processors, identity/business-verification vendors, and email/SMS delivery providers we engage from time to time. These providers only receive the information needed to perform their function and are contractually restricted from using it for other purposes.
  • Government/regulatory bodies: we may disclose information where required by law, subpoena, or court order. Sanctions screening (Section 6) compares names against published lists on our own systems and does not send your information to a government service.
  • In a business transfer: if JANT LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Policy (or a successor policy you're notified of).

5. International Data Transfers

didact-one serves clients and talent across developing markets globally (Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia) as well as talent located anywhere in the world. Because of this, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries whose data protection laws may differ from those in your own country. Where required by applicable law, we take steps intended to provide an adequate level of protection for such transfers. A specific data-residency commitment for an institutional client's data can be arranged on request — contact us at [email protected].

6. Sanctions Screening Data, Specifically

When you create an Organization, its name is screened against the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals and Consolidated Sanctions Lists. We download those public lists regularly and compare names on our own systems, and we screen existing Organizations again periodically. We store the result of this screening (and, if flagged, the details of the matched entry) as part of our legal compliance obligations. This is not used for any advertising, profiling, or unrelated purpose.

7. Data Retention

We retain account and transaction information for as long as your account is active and as needed to comply with our legal, tax, and recordkeeping obligations after account closure. Sanctions-screening records are retained as part of our compliance recordkeeping.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond consistent with applicable law. Some information (for example, sanctions-screening and financial records) may need to be retained even after a deletion request, where required by law.

9. Children's Privacy

The Platform is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect information from, anyone under 18. If we learn we have collected information from someone under 18, we will delete it.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information (for example, passwords are hashed, never stored in plain text). No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make a material change, we will provide notice (such as an in-app notice or email) before the change takes effect.

12. Contact

Questions about this Privacy Policy, or requests regarding your personal information, can be sent to [email protected].
