4 Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies to operate the site and improve your experience. The types we use:

  • Analytical cookies — help us understand how visitors use the site.
  • Functionality cookies — remember your preferences.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the site may not function correctly without them.


5 Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as necessary to provide our Services. Transaction records are kept for the period required by Kenyan tax and accounting regulations. You may request deletion of your account data at any time (subject to legal retention requirements).

To exercise any right, contact us at the details in Section 10.


7 Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures — including encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls, and regular security reviews — to protect your data from unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. No transmission over the Internet is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.


8 Children's Privacy

Our Services are not directed to individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
