Human Rights at OrgByte

Technology with a Local and Global Conscience

Respecting rights at home and everywhere we serve.

As a technology company operating in Nigeria and across Africa, we are acutely aware of the challenges that define our regional context ranging from systemic inequality and digital exclusion to inadequate data protection laws and limited civic space.

That’s why we build deliberately:

• To expand access to digital tools for underserved communities,
• To empower vendors, creators, and service providers through secure and transparent platforms,
• And to advocate for stronger digital rights protections in policy environments still evolving.

In Africa, we see technology not as a silver bullet, but as a lever for justice if guided by ethical innovation. Across the globe, our work reflects a deep respect for cultural context, social justice, and the right to dignity online and offline.

Leadership and Governance

Executive accountability with regional insight.

Our Human Rights and Ethics Council (HREC) includes representation from local and international teams, ensuring that our values are not abstract, they're actionable across borders. This council advises OrgByte’s leadership on civil rights, emerging tech ethics, and risk management, and regularly reports to our Board’s Governance and Impact Committee.

We recognize that leadership in human rights also means amplifying African voices and realities in the global digital conversation. As OrgByte grows internationally, our governance remains deeply anchored in the contexts we come from and those we serve.

Risk, Due Diligence & Local Impact

Responsible innovation tailored to reality.

OrgByte implements robust human rights due diligence, including:

• Product-specific risk assessments
• Bias and equity reviews
• Community impact analysis
• Third-party human rights audits

In regions like Nigeria, where legal protections and infrastructure can lag behind technological advancement, our diligence efforts are even more rigorous. We don’t wait for regulation, we lead with responsibility.

We assess how our platforms, including Taskdog and Keepdots, affect local users from data privacy to freedom of expression to economic inclusion.

Engagement: Local Voices, Global Impact

We listen before we build. We partner before we scale.

Human rights are not protected in isolation. We engage regularly with:

• Local communities
• Civil society organizations
• Human rights advocates
• Tech policy experts across Africa and globally

Their insights shape our policies, features, and responses. Whether it's verifying vendors in Lagos or rolling out AI tools with ethical guardrails, we ensure our decisions reflect real-world needs and vulnerabilities.

Transparency

Clear systems. Open policies. Honest reporting.

OrgByte is building a Transparency and Accountability Hub to provide clarity on:

• Data handling
• Government requests
• Content moderation
• Verification and inspection standards
• Algorithmic fairness

We are committed to explaining how our systems work, not just declaring that they do. Tools like Inside Taskdog's Review Engine and How Keepdots Verifies Vendors will break down the decisions that affect users, especially in countries where opaque digital governance is the norm.

We believe Africa deserves a new standard of transparency not borrowed, but built for its future.

Our Commitment

Innovation means nothing if it harms people.

In Nigeria, across Africa, and throughout the world, OrgByte is committed to shaping a digital future where technology is a force for inclusion, justice, and dignity.

We understand that innovation must meet inequality head-on. It must reckon with structural injustice. It must restore trust in the digital world.

We’re not just building for the future, we're building it with integrity, for everyone.
