We may also record your geographic location based on your IP address or GPS data if you grant permission on your mobile device.
Additionally, we collect information about how you interact with our platform. This includes pages you visit, the time you spend on each page, links you click, and your browsing patterns. If you contact our support team, we store records of that communication, including chat logs and email correspondence.
Cookies are small text files that our website places on your device when you visit. They allow us to recognize your browser and remember certain information about your preferences and activity. Without cookies, many features of our platform would not function properly.
We use several types of cookies to operate our website effectively:
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. However, if you choose to block certain cookies, some parts of the website may not work as intended. We recommend reviewing your cookie preferences regularly to ensure they reflect your current wishes.
We use your personal data to create and manage your account, verify your identity, and process transactions you initiate. Your contact details allow us to send you important notifications related to your account activity, such as confirmations or security alerts.
We also analyze usage data to improve our platform. By understanding how users navigate the website, we can optimize page layouts, fix technical issues, and develop new features. This data helps us tailor the experience so it works better for users in Uganda and other regions we serve.
Your information may also be used to comply with legal obligations. For example, we may need to verify your age, prevent fraud, or respond to requests from regulatory authorities. In some cases, we use your data to communicate promotional offers, but only if you have opted in to receive such messages.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. However, we may share it with certain trusted partners who help us operate our services. These include payment processors that handle your transactions, identity verification providers, and IT service companies that maintain our infrastructure.
We may also disclose your data to law enforcement or regulatory bodies if required by law or if we believe such action is necessary to protect our legal rights. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data could be transferred to the new entity, and we would notify you of any such change.
All third parties with whom we share your information are contractually obligated to protect it and use it only for the purposes we specify. We take reasonable steps to ensure they maintain adequate security standards.

Access to your personal data within our organization is limited to employees and contractors who need it to perform their duties. All such personnel are bound by strict confidentiality obligations. We also conduct regular training to ensure our team stays aware of current security practices.
While we take significant precautions, no method of transmitting data over the internet or storing it electronically is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously review and update our protective measures to address new threats as they emerge.
Yes, we may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the services we offer.
