Comments, IP address, and device ID
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, feedback left by the user, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
When you access a Daraja UG website, Daraja UG receives as an essential technical requirement the Internet Protocol address (IP address) or the device ID of the device used to access the website. Without this information, you will not be able to establish a technical connection between your devices and the server infrastructure maintained by Daraja UG and therefore will not be able to access the websites of Daraja UG. Daraja UG only keeps this information for the time necessary to fulfil the request, namely for the duration of the browsing session.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies and third parties
Some websites of the Daraja UG use ‘first-party cookies’. These are cookies set and controlled by the Daraja UG, not by any external organisation. The Daraja UG’s websites within the daraja-africa-eu domain may provide links to third-party sites. In order to use third party content on our websites, you may need to accept their specific terms and conditions, including their cookie policies over which we have no control.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Your rights as a data subject over your data
You have the right to obtain access to the personal data held by the Daraja UG about you and to request its rectification or erasure, or restriction of processing or, where applicable, the right to object to processing or the right to data portability. Where the processing is based on your consent or explicit consent, you also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
For any request concerning the processing of your personal data, we invite you to contact the Daraja UG management (as identified in the privacy statement related to the specific processing activity or e-service).
Safeguarding information and who we share your data with
Collected personal data are stored by the Daraja UG.
The Daraja UG’s contractors are bound by a specific contractual clause for any processing operations of your data on behalf of the Daraja UG, and must guarantee the data protection and confidentiality level required by European Union, African Union, and Country of Operation regulations.
