Privacy Statement

Introduction
CarePay endeavours to process your personal data carefully, securely and confidentially. It is important to us that you have confidence in our organisation regarding the processing of personal data. This privacy statement is intended for visitors of the mtiba.com website and provides information about the processing of personal data through this website. Information on how we process personal data of users of the CarePay (M-TIBA) platform and the services and products delivered via our platform is provided by another means, for example our country-specific platform privacy statement and platform terms of service.

What is personal data?
Personal data are all data which can be traced back to a person. Examples include your name, address, telephone number and account number. Where we can, we pseudonymise your personal information so that it is no longer directly traceable to you as a person.

Which personal data do we process and why?
We process your personal data to enable and enhance your use of our website. To know whether our website can be visited properly, which pages are visited and which errors occur, we monitor website traffic and process your actions on the website (using cookies), IP address, location information and details of your device, in each case in pseudonymised form. This way we can provide website visitors a seamless experience, update the website where necessary and expedite solving technical errors, while limiting the impact on your privacy.

Which parties process personal data for us?
CarePay engages Google Analytics to provide insights on how you use our website and enable us to improve the website and your user experience.

What is the legal basis for processing?
The legal basis we use to process your personal data on the website is the legitimate interest of CarePay to run and improve its website. We take the following measures to mitigate the impact on the privacy of the website visitor:

  • Where it is not important for us to know exactly who the website visitor is, we process visitor data in pseudonymised form.
  • We offer you the opportunity upon visiting the website to opt out of the processing of your personal data by Google Analytics.
  • We use processors who have privacy/security policies and offer a data processing agreement with standard contractual clauses safeguarding data privacy.
  • The processors may only process your personal data to support us in running our website.

Who is the data controller for the processing of personal data?

Do we share your data with other parties?
Your personal data will be treated confidentially and will only be processed for the purpose of running and improving our website. Where necessary for this purpose, we share the data with our third-party processors as described in this statement and with other CarePay group entities. All CarePay group entities apply appropriate safeguards using commercially reasonable efforts and are a party to a data sharing agreement with clauses safeguarding data privacy. CarePay is sometimes obliged to provide personal data pursuant to legal obligations, such as public investigations.

How do we protect your data?
We collect your data in pseudonymised form as much as possible. We further use commercially reasonable efforts in applying various technical and organisational measures to prevent the personal data from being misused. These measures include for example the encryption of data and training our employees on data privacy.

Where is personal data processed and for how long?
We host our website on our private server in Kenya. Google Analytics processes data on their own servers in various locations. In each case, all processing is only done for as long as necessary for the purpose of running and improving our website.

Third-party websites and the internet
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these websites or policies. The transmission of information over the internet is not completely secure. If you provide us with information over the internet, any transmission is at your own risk. However, once we receive your information, we use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorised access to your personal data.

  • The right of rectification: if your personal data we process are not correct, you have the right to have them adjusted.
  • The right of erasure: if we no longer need your personal data for the purpose for which they were collected, you have the right to ask us to delete them. There are several exceptions to this, such as our obligation to retain certain data, for example for statutory legal or tax requirements.
  • The right to object: it is possible to object to the processing of your personal data, after which a balancing of interests will follow.
  • The right of restriction: during the period that we are in the process of determining whether your data should be rectified, determining the unlawfulness of data processing, determining whether data should be deleted or whether you have rightfully objected to the processing, you have the right to request a restriction of the processing.
