Privacy Policy

This policy covers the Kifuli app and the kifuli.com website. It is published by Kifuli Apps. Questions: use the contact form on the Help page.

The app

Kifuli converts files on your computer. It never uploads, sends or stores your documents anywhere else. It has no account, collects no usage statistics and contains no advertising or tracking code.

To protect your licence, Kifuli contacts our licence server when you activate it and then every few days when the computer is online. It sends your licence ID, an anonymous code derived from the computer (not your name or files), the computer name and operating system so you can recognise it on your Kifuli page, and the Kifuli version. Our server records the time and a scrambled form of the IP address to stop abuse.

When you buy

We collect your name and email address to issue your licence and send it to you, and we keep a record of the order: the amount, currency, date, payment reference, the licence issued, and the affiliate code if you came through a partner. We keep these records for accounting and to resend your licence.

Paystack processes the payment and receives your payment details directly; their privacy policy applies to that information. We receive confirmation of the payment, the channel (for example card or mobile money) and the email address, never your full card number or M-Pesa PIN.

The website

This website uses no advertising or tracking cookies. We count page views with Vercel Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and does not identify you. If you arrive through a partner link or a campaign link, your browser remembers the partner code and campaign for 30 days so the right partner or post gets credit if you buy; we count the partner visit with a scrambled visitor code. The site is hosted on Vercel, which keeps standard access logs for security. Messages you send through the contact form are stored so we can reply.

Who else processes data

Paystack (payments), Vercel (website hosting), our database provider (orders and licences), our email provider (licence emails) and the file host that serves your downloads. They process data only to provide those services to us.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, through the contact form. Under Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019 you can also complain to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.
