Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Nyota Fund Kenya ("the App") helps users in Kenya plan budgets and manage personal finances. We prioritise your privacy — this policy explains how the App handles data.

2. No data transmission

Short answer: The App does not send your personal data to our servers or to third parties. All data remains on your device unless you explicitly choose to share or export it.

3. Local storage & backups

All information you enter (budgets, transactions, notes, categories, settings) is stored locally on your device using the device's private storage. Important details:

• Data is not uploaded automatically to cloud services by the App.
• If your device is configured to back up app data to cloud backup services (for example, Android or iCloud backups), those backups may include Nyota Fund data depending on your device settings. To prevent this, adjust your device backup preferences.

4. Optional exports and sharing

If you use export or share features (for example, exporting a CSV or sharing a report), the App will ask for permission and you will choose the destination. Any sharing or export action is initiated by you and is under your control.

5. Permissions

The App may request permissions for optional features. For example:

• File access for exporting/importing budgets.

Permissions are requested at the time the feature is used. Denying permission disables only the related feature and does not affect core budgeting functions.

6. Third-party services

By default, Nyota Fund Kenya does not include analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking. If we introduce optional integrations (for instance, a cloud backup provider), the App will clearly describe what data is shared and ask for your consent before any transmission occurs.

7. Security

We implement reasonable practices to protect data stored on your device. Because data is local, your device's security (PIN, password, biometrics, device encryption) is essential. Keep your device software up-to-date and protect it from unauthorized access.

8. Children's privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has used the App to provide personal data, contact us for guidance.
