It applies to customers, prospective customers, business partners, and other individuals whose data we maintain. This policy does not apply to third-party websites with their own privacy policies.

We collect both mandatory and non-mandatory information. Mandatory information includes name and contact details, account information, security information, device and browser data, and location data. Non-mandatory information includes user contributions, usage and browsing history, demographic information, and inferences from personal information. For job applicants, we may collect career, education, and government identification details. We may also collect phone numbers and email addresses for the purpose of sending a One-Time Password (OTP) via SMS, WhatsApp, voice, email, or authenticator apps to verify your identity. In particular, we recognize that the information collected under Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) is crucial and sensitive, and we are committed to protecting its confidentiality.

We collect personal information through direct interactions (e.g., registration forms), user contributions, automatic collection (e.g., cookies), and third-party or publicly available sources.

We use personal information to fulfill our contractual obligations, including to register your account and provide our Services. We use personal information to fulfill contractual obligations, communicate about our services, obtain consent for specific purposes, improve and personalize our services, ensure security, detect fraud, and manage internal operations. We may also send personalized marketing communications, with opt-out options. All data processing aligns with Sharia principles, and particularly, the data collected under NDAs is used strictly for business and legal service processing.

We may share personal information with affiliates within our group of companies and third-party business partners (e.g., analytics providers, advertising and marketing agencies). Data may also be shared with governmental agencies, third parties involved in business transactions (e.g., mergers), and to comply with legal obligations or protect rights and safety. As a global organization, personal information may be transferred and stored in multiple countries. We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect the security of personal information. We employ https protocols and ensure the data is encrypted during transmission. The security of your information also depends on you: you are responsible for using unique, strong usernames and passwords for each of your accounts, and for keeping those usernames and passwords confidential. We take all the steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Personal information is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law.

Users have the right to access, correct, and delete their personal information, subject to legal limitations. This policy adheres to the Data Protection Act, 2019 of Kenya and the Islamic principle of Amanah (trust). Data processing is conducted in a manner consistent with Sharia principles, emphasizing confidentiality, ethical data usage, data minimization, and purpose limitation.
