Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

  • Name and contact information
  • Phone numbers for M-Pesa payments
  • Service category and location preferences
  • Professional credentials and verification documents
  • National ID and Police Clearance Certificate identifiers
  • Consent and audit records for provider evidence review
  • A provider's precise device location, GPS accuracy, heartbeat times, and continuity or integrity alerts while a paid job is marked in progress

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Process service bookings and payments
  • Review service provider credential submissions
  • Improve our services and user experience
  • Communicate with you about your bookings
  • Protect clients and providers, confirm operational continuity, and investigate safety, fraud, or service disputes

Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information, including:

  • Application-layer authenticated encryption of precise operational coordinates before database storage
  • Secure payment processing through M-Pesa
  • Access controls and authentication systems
  • Regular security assessments

Provider Operational Location

Precise location collection starts only after an approved provider explicitly consents and starts a paid operation. It continues through authenticated heartbeats until the provider records completion. Providers must keep the operations screen active because mobile operating systems may suspend browser tracking in the background.

  • Exact coordinates are not shown in the public provider directory
  • Exact coordinates are available only to authorized security administrators for safety and dispute handling
  • Stale, interrupted, low-accuracy, or physically implausible updates are rejected or recorded as security signals
  • Location records are retained only as needed for safety, fraud, dispute, legal, and regulatory purposes

Third-Party Services

We use third-party services to facilitate our operations, including:

  • M-Pesa for payment processing
  • Clerk for authentication
  • Offline consistency checks, automatic policy evaluation, and post-approval oversight for provider evidence

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal information
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your personal information
  • Opt-out of marketing communications
