Privacy Policy

Umuco Wacu helps people discover and share Rwandan culture, places, learning resources, events, and marketplace offerings. This policy explains what information may be handled when you use our website and how it is used.

Last updated: October 14, 2026

1. Information you provide

Depending on the features you use, you may provide account and profile details such as your name, email address, username, and password; seller application or business details; and content you submit, such as posts, comments, event listings, or messages. Please avoid including sensitive personal information in public content.

2. Information collected through use

The service may receive technical and usage information such as device and browser details, pages or features used, approximate timestamps, and diagnostic data. The site uses Vercel Analytics to understand website traffic and improve the service. Your browser may also store authentication information and local application state to keep you signed in and make features work.

3. How information is used

We use information to provide and maintain accounts and platform features, display user-submitted content, process seller applications, respond to requests, protect the service from misuse, troubleshoot issues, and understand site performance. We may also use it to meet legal obligations and enforce our terms.

4. Sharing and visibility

Profile information and material you choose to publish may be visible to other users. We share information with service providers that help operate the website, such as hosting and analytics providers, and where needed to protect rights or safety, comply with law, or complete a transaction or business transfer. We do not describe a specific advertising or data-sale program in this policy.

5. Retention and security

We retain information for as long as reasonably needed to provide the service, maintain business records, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information, but no website or method of transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

6. Your choices

You can keep your account information accurate, choose what you publish, and stop using the service at any time. You may ask us about access, correction, or deletion of personal information, subject to applicable law and legitimate recordkeeping needs. Some information may remain in backups or public contributions after an account is closed.

7. Children

The website is not intended for children who are not permitted to use online services under the laws that apply to them. If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, contact the Umuco Wacu team so the matter can be reviewed.

8. Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the service changes. The updated version will be posted here with a revised date. For privacy questions or requests, contact the Umuco Wacu team through the contact details provided on the website.
