1. Information we collect
We collect account and contact details, booking information, service locations, payment status and references, support messages, reported issues, device and usage information, and information a Professional provides for onboarding and identity review.
Payment card and mobile-money credentials are handled by the displayed payment provider. Ryivy receives transaction references, payment status, amount and channel information needed to operate the booking and support refunds.
2. How we use information
We use personal information to create and secure accounts, verify customers and Professionals, calculate and manage bookings, process payments and refunds, match work, send service notifications, provide support, investigate safety reports, prevent fraud, improve the Platform and comply with legal obligations.
4. Safety and sensitive reports
Reports involving harassment, sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, threats, discrimination or violence are treated as sensitive. A report may be made about a Customer or a Professional. We limit access to people who need the information to review the matter, protect users, preserve evidence, respond to lawful requests or take account action.
Do not use the Platform for emergencies. Move to safety and contact local emergency services first where anyone is in immediate danger, then report the incident through the relevant booking or email [email protected].
5. Retention and security
We keep information only for as long as reasonably needed for bookings, payments, safety, dispute handling, fraud prevention and legal or accounting duties. Retention periods differ by record type. We use technical and organisational safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
6. Your choices and rights
You may ask to access, correct or delete eligible personal information, object to or restrict certain processing, or withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis. Some information may need to be retained for payment, fraud, safety, dispute or legal reasons. Contact [email protected] and we may need to verify your identity before acting.
7. Updates and contact
We may update this policy as the Platform, our providers or applicable requirements change. The effective date below identifies the current version. Questions or privacy requests may be sent to [email protected].
This policy reflects the current Ryivy product, but it should be reviewed by a qualified Kenyan advocate before public launch or reliance in a dispute.
