Last updated: June 2026
We collect account details you provide (name, phone, email), security credentials such as your MPIN hash, organisation profile data when applicable, and transaction records needed to operate wallets, loans, and repayments.
We use your information to create and secure your account, send verification codes, process payments, prevent fraud, meet legal and compliance obligations in Kenya, and improve product reliability.
We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited information with payment partners (for example M-Pesa), regulators, or service providers who help us operate the platform under confidentiality obligations.
We protect credentials with industry-standard hashing, restrict staff access, and monitor for suspicious activity. You remain responsible for keeping your password, MPIN, and device secure.
Signed-in users can manage privacy preferences, request a data export, or start account closure from Privacy & data in the app. Contact Support if you need help exercising these rights.
