Biz Yangu is committed to protecting the personal data of our users and their customers in accordance with the Data Protection Act, 2019 of Kenya, and the regulations issued by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC).
Under this policy, personal data includes any information that identifies you or your customers, such as names, phone numbers, and transaction history recorded within the app.
We process personal data based on the following lawful grounds:
As a data subject under Kenyan law, you have the right to:
When you add your customers' names and phone numbers for credit tracking, you act as the data controller for that information, and Biz Yangu acts as a data processor on your behalf. You are responsible for ensuring you have appropriate consent from your customers to store and use their information within the app, including for SMS reminders.
We only collect data that is necessary to provide our services. We do not request information beyond what is needed for business management, OTP verification, payment processing, and customer support.
Where data is processed or stored using infrastructure located outside Kenya, we ensure such transfers comply with the Data Protection Act's requirements, including the use of providers with adequate data protection safeguards.
In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify the ODPC and affected users as required under Kenyan law, without undue delay.
For any data protection inquiries, concerns, or to exercise your rights as outlined above, please contact us via the support channels listed on our homepage.
