Understand what happens when you read this site

When you open a page on this site, you are reading an independent editorial review of a broker for readers in Kenya. The site is not the broker, is not affiliated with the broker, and does not offer financial services, accounts, deposits, or advice. Because you may want to know what information is collected while you read, this policy explains the practical points in plain terms: what is recorded, why, where it sits, how long it stays, and what you can ask us to do about it.

You do not need to create an account or send money to read the reviews. Most of what is recorded is technical and is generated by simply loading a page, such as the type of device you use, the browser, the pages you visit, and the approximate region from which the request comes. If you choose to write to us through the contact form on this site, you decide what to include, and we use it only to reply and to keep a record of the correspondence.

The site does not ask for your trading credentials, your account numbers, your deposit details, or your identity documents, and you should not send them. If you ever receive a message that appears to come from this site and asks for such things, treat it as suspicious and do not respond.

Know your rights and how to use them

You have the right to ask whether we hold information about you, to see what it is, to have mistakes corrected, and to have it deleted where the law allows. You can also object to certain uses, ask us to restrict them, and ask for a copy of the information in a usable format. These rights are not absolute; for example, we may need to keep some records to meet a legal duty or to resolve a dispute, and we will tell you if that applies.

To use any of these rights, write to us through the contact form on this site and describe what you want. We do not publish a postal address, a phone number, or an e-mail address, so the contact form is the route to use. Please give enough detail for us to find the relevant record, such as the date you wrote and the page you were reading. We will respond within a reasonable period and will explain any step we cannot take.

If you are not satisfied with our reply, you can raise the matter with the data protection authority in Kenya. We will not charge you for exercising these rights, and we will not treat you differently because you asked.

See where the records sit and who receives them

The servers that host this site and its backups are located outside Kenya, and the people who maintain the site may access them from other countries. This means your information may be processed in a jurisdiction with different rules from those in Kenya. We take steps to ensure that any transfer is covered by appropriate safeguards, and we keep the number of recipients small.

We share information only with those who help us run the site: the hosting provider, the provider of the contact form, and technical support when something breaks. These recipients act on our instructions and are not allowed to use the information for their own purposes. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the site and its readers from fraud or abuse.

We never sell your information to anyone. We do not rent it, trade it, or pass it to the broker reviewed on this site for marketing. We do not share it with advertisers or data brokers. If you follow a link from this site to another site, that site will have its own policy, and you should read it before you provide anything.

Understand why we process information and on what basis

We process technical information because we have a legitimate interest in keeping the site secure, understanding which pages are read, and fixing errors. This interest is balanced against your rights, and we keep the data to the minimum needed. Where you send a message through the contact form, we process it because you asked us to respond, and because we have a legitimate interest in keeping a record of the exchange.

Where the law requires consent for a particular use, we will ask for it clearly and you can withdraw it at any time. We do not use your information to make automated decisions about you, and we do not profile you for advertising. We do not use the information to contact you unless you have written to us first.

We keep records only as long as needed for the purpose for which they were collected. Server logs are kept for a short period and then deleted or aggregated. Contact form messages are kept for as long as needed to handle your query and any follow-up, and then for a reasonable period to resolve disputes or meet legal duties. When the period ends, we delete or anonymise the records.

Check the age limits and how we treat children

This site is written for adults who want to read an editorial review of a broker. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you are under 18, please do not use the contact form or send us any information about yourself.

If we learn that we have recorded information about a child, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a child has sent information to this site, please tell us through the contact form on this site so that we can remove it.

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in the site or the law. The version published here is the one that applies, and the practical points above are the ones to rely on when you read the reviews.
