Trust & Safety

Privacy & Safeguarding

DYT works with thousands of young people. This page explains how we protect their data, their media, and their wellbeing.

How we handle entries and personal data

  • Entries are submitted publicly on social media using #DiscoverYourTalent — anyone on that platform can see them, in line with that platform's rules.
  • We only collect personal details (name, email, phone) through forms on this website, and only to contact you about the program you applied for.
  • We never sell personal data, and we never republish a submission without checking it first.
  • If we record or broadcast the Talent Show or training sessions, we ask for permission before we publish anything that identifies you.

Consent for children and young people

  • If you are under 18, involve a parent or guardian before you post your entry or register for a program.
  • We require a parent/guardian's consent before featuring media of a minor on DYT's own platforms or at events.
  • DYT works alongside youth-focused partners to keep our events and platforms safe and supervised.

Reporting a concern

  • If you see something that worries you — bullying, harassment, unsafe content, or anything involving a minor that concerns you — tell us.
  • Email info@dyt.org.rw with the subject line 'Safeguarding concern' and include what you saw and where.
  • We take every report seriously, respond within 7 days, and involve safeguarding partners where needed.
