Privacy Policy – WiFi Ya Nidday

Effective Date: 23 August 2026

WiFi Ya Nidday ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our Android app and web application (together, "the Apps"), including our WiFi access, advertising, and WiFi loan features. By using the Apps, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, and to our Terms of Service, which governs your use of the Services.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information to provide and improve our services:

a) Personal Information

Account details: your phone number and a securely hashed password.
Payment Information: MPESA mobile number and transaction details for processing payments, top-ups, and loan repayments.

b) Device & Usage Data

Device MAC address, used to manage internet access, session history, ad eligibility, and WiFi loan eligibility. On our Android app, this is obtained by querying your connected WiFi router directly, not by tracking your device's identity through other means.
Device details (e.g., model, OS version).
App usage logs to monitor and improve performance.
Location permission (Android only): Android requires location permission to detect WiFi network connection status. We request this permission for that reason only and do not collect, store, or use your precise geographic location.

c) Financial & Credit Data (WiFi Loans)

Payment history, usage patterns, and account tenure, which we use to calculate an internal credit score for the optional WiFi Loans feature.
Loan amounts, due dates, repayment status, and default history.

d) Advertising Data

If you watch in-app ads: a record of ads shown or watched, tied to your device MAC address, used to manage daily limits and reward eligibility.
If you create ads as an advertiser: your ad content (text, images, or video), payment details, and performance/impression statistics for your campaigns.

e) Notifications

On the web app, if you opt in to push notifications, we store the browser subscription details needed to deliver alerts (e.g., expiry warnings).
On the Android app, expiry alerts are scheduled and shown entirely on your device. We do not receive or store any notification data from the Android app.

2. How We Use Your Information

To process payments and grant internet access.
To manage account details and subscriptions.
To calculate credit eligibility and administer WiFi Loans, including collecting repayments from future top-ups.
To serve and measure the performance of ads, and to manage daily ad-viewing limits and rewards.
To send opt-in push notifications, such as expiry alerts.
To improve app functionality and service reliability.
To comply with legal obligations.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We only share it:

When required by law or legal processes.
With trusted service providers who help us operate the Apps, including MPESA (payment processing), our infrastructure and logging providers (for system monitoring and troubleshooting), and cloud storage used to host advertiser-uploaded ad media.
With aggregated, privacy-preserving analytics tools we use to understand app performance.

4. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, including password hashing. However, no method of data transmission or storage is completely secure. On the Android app, if you enable biometric login (fingerprint or face unlock), your login credentials are encrypted and stored only on your device using Android's secure hardware keystore; they are never transmitted to us.

5. Your Rights

Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
Delete your account at any time from the Account settings page in the app. Deleted accounts may be restored within a limited window before data is permanently removed.
Withdraw consent to data processing at any time.

6. Advertising & WiFi Loans

WiFi Ya Nidday includes an in-app advertising feature. Users may be shown ads and may choose to watch ads in exchange for free WiFi time; ad views are recorded against your device to prevent abuse. Separately, eligible users may access short-term WiFi access on credit ("WiFi Loans") based on an internally calculated credit score. Failure to repay a loan may result in a lower credit score and temporary suspension of the loans feature for your account. WiFi Loans are a convenience feature for internet access only, not a general-purpose financial product.

7. Third-Party Services

Our apps integrate MPESA for payments. Use of MPESA is subject to their own terms and privacy policy, which you should review separately. We also use third-party infrastructure providers for hosting, logging, ad media storage, and performance analytics; these providers process data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.

8. Children’s Privacy

The Apps are intended for users aged 13 and older. Users between the ages of 13 and 17 should only use the Apps, including payment and WiFi Loan features, with the involvement and consent of a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13, and any such data will be deleted upon discovery.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updates will be posted within the Apps, and continued use constitutes acceptance.
