Privacy Policy

Draft for customization. Review against Kenya’s Data Protection Act, 2019 (and any other laws that apply) before public launch.

1. Who we are

Windawazi operates this website and is the controller of personal data collected through it. Contact details will be published here when the service goes live.

2. Data we collect

Account data (email, password hash, display name), profile data (age range, gender, country, bio), messages you send or receive, reports and blocks, technical data such as session information and approximate IP used for security rate limits, and age-confirmation timestamp at registration.

3. How we use data

To create and manage accounts, publish approved listings, provide messaging, moderate the community, prevent abuse, and improve safety and reliability of the service.

4. Messages

Message content is stored on our systems so you and the other person can read the conversation. It is not end-to-end encrypted. Moderators may access data where needed for safety or legal reasons.

5. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may use infrastructure providers (hosting, email delivery) who process data on our instructions. We may disclose information if required by law.

6. International processing

Servers may be located outside Kenya (for example in Europe). Where required, we will take appropriate steps for cross-border transfers.

7. Retention

We keep data while your account is active and as needed for security, disputes, and legal obligations. Self-deleted accounts free the email for possible re-use; admin removals may retain the email to prevent re-registration.

8. Your choices

You may update limited account settings, delete your profile (where the product allows), or contact us about access or correction requests as required by applicable law.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical measures (including hashed passwords and session controls). No online service is perfectly secure.

10. Changes

We may update this policy and will post the revised version on this page.
