This Privacy Policy outlines how Tufike Technologies ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, stores, and protects the personal information of users ("you" or "your") who use the Tufike app.

1. Information We Collect

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Location (user-provided)
  • Business details and service preferences
  • Chat history within the app

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Match businesses with potential clients based on needs and interests
  • Facilitate communication between businesses and clients
  • Improve the performance and features of the app
  • Conduct internal analytics
  • Send updates and service-related notifications
  • Promote our own features or services (no third-party marketing)

3. Location Information

We do not collect GPS-based location data. Instead, users provide their country and specific area manually during sign-up or profile updates.

4. Third-Party Services

We currently use the following third-party services which may process limited user data:

  • Google Analytics (for usage analytics)
  • Firebase Cloud Messaging (for push notifications)
  • Supabase (for secure data storage and backend services)

5. Children’s Privacy

Tufike is accessible to users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal data, please contact us for deletion.

6. User Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access and update your personal information
  • Request deletion of your data at any time
  • Opt out of marketing communications (once implemented)

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as needed to provide our services. Upon user request for account deletion, all personal data is deleted immediately.

8. International Data Transfers

Our servers are hosted via Supabase, which may store data in regions outside Uganda. We aim to comply with data protection laws across Africa and internationally, including the GDPR, NDPR, and others.

9. Data Security

We use secure servers, encrypted connections, and best practices to protect your data. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
