4. Sharing information

We do not intend to sell personal information to advertisers.

We may disclose information where required by law or reasonably necessary to protect users, MtaaHelp, property or platform security. Payment processing may require information to be sent to the relevant payment provider. MtaaHelp does not need your M-Pesa PIN.

5. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or alteration. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

6. Retention and deletion

We retain information as reasonably necessary to operate accounts, maintain transaction and support records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements and meet legal obligations. Where appropriate and subject to law, users may request deletion or delete their account using available controls.

7. Your privacy rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to be informed, access personal information, request correction, object to certain processing, request deletion/erasure where applicable, and exercise other rights provided by law.

Contact MtaaHelp using the official support/contact details published on the platform. We may verify requests before acting on them.

8. Children and minors

MtaaHelp does not encourage children to provide personal information independently. Where law requires parental or guardian involvement, MtaaHelp will follow those requirements.

9. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology or legal obligations change. The latest version will show a revised date.

10. Contact

For privacy questions or requests, contact MtaaHelp through the official support/contact details published on the platform.

Before launch, replace this with MtaaHelp's official legal name, privacy email, physical address and designated privacy contact where required.

Important: This is a practical MtaaHelp policy draft. Before a public commercial launch, have the final version reviewed by a qualified Kenyan legal/privacy professional.
