Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Paysasa handles your information and safeguards your privacy.

Introduction

At Paysasa, we recognize the importance of privacy. This policy abides by the Data Protection Act and related legislation to safeguard your interests. It applies to all products and services offered by Paysasa and is governed by the laws of Kenya in relation to Data Protection.

Information Privacy

Paysasa products and services have security built-in, authenticating transactions from your website. By engaging with us, you consent to the use of your personal data and information required to facilitate user transactions.

Information You Provide

When you contact us about payment processing or other services, we may request personal information (such as your name, email address, or phone number). For certain services, you may have the option to opt out of combining such information. iPay does not process your payments directly nor store your credit card details. Paysasa will never ask you to share banking details by phone.

  • Processing transactions and sending transaction notices
  • Targeted marketing, service updates, and promotional offers
  • Occasional company news, updates, product, or service information

Your information is retained only as long as necessary for transactions, after which it is deleted, erased, anonymized, or pseudonymized.

Paysasa may present links in a way that enables us to track whether these links have been followed. This information helps us improve service quality, content, and advertising.
