At Kayefi (kayefi.com), we believe in radical transparency—not just in the platforms we list, but in how we handle your data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide a better, more secure experience on our platform:
- Account Data: When you register, we collect your email address, username, and password.
- Profile & Listing Data: If you submit a platform to the directory, we collect the contact details, URLs, and descriptions you provide.
- User-Generated Content: Ratings, reviews, and moderation reports you submit.
- Technical & Analytics Data: We collect your IP address, browser type (User-Agent), and device information. We track interactions on the site, specifically pageviews and outbound clicks to third-party platforms, to generate accurate popularity metrics.
- Payment Information: If you purchase a premium listing, payment details are collected and processed directly by our secure payment gateway (e.g., Paystack). Kayefi does not store your full credit card numbers or bank details on our servers.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your data to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the Kayefi directory.
- Authenticate users to prevent fraudulent reviews and rating manipulation.
- Process transactions and send related billing notices.
- Analyze platform usage trends to rank listings based on genuine community interest.
- Respond to your support requests or inquiries.
3. Cookies and Tracking
Kayefi uses cookies and similar local storage technologies to:
- Keep you logged into your account.
- Prevent double-voting on platform ratings.
- Securely track unique pageviews and outbound clicks without invasive cross-site tracking. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but doing so may limit your ability to use certain features (like logging in or submitting reviews).
4. Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell your personal data. We only share your information in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: With trusted third-party vendors (like hosting providers, email delivery services, and payment processors) who assist us in operating the platform.
- Legal Compliance: If required by law, subpoena, or other legal processes, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Kayefi, our users, or others.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures, including encryption and secure database architecture, to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your Data Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request corrections to inaccurate data.
- Request the deletion of your account and personal data. To exercise these rights, please contact us from the email address associated with your account.
