SERA YA FARAGHA YA KITASA

Toleo: 1.0 · Tarehe ya kuanza kutumika: 02/10/2026

Kitasa ni huduma ya WesanDev (Geita, Tanzania; barua pepe: privacy@wesandev.com). Sera hii inaeleza taarifa tunazokusanya, kwa nini, na haki zako chini ya Sheria ya Ulinzi wa Taarifa Binafsi, 2022.

1. Taarifa tunazokusanya

  • Akaunti: namba ya simu, jina, picha ya wasifu (si lazima), lugha.
  • Upangaji: nyumba, vyumba, mahali (pamoja na GPS), majina na namba za simu za wapangaji walioalikwa, namba ya NIDA (si lazima), kiasi cha kodi, tarehe, amana.
  • Malipo: kiasi, njia ya malipo, namba ya kumbukumbu, picha za ushahidi (k.m. picha ya SMS ya M-Pesa au risiti ya benki), risiti na mikataba.
  • Bili na umeme: bili za maji, SMS za LUKU unazobandika (namba ya mita, tokeni, units, kiasi), vipimo vya mita.
  • Soko: matangazo, picha, bei, mahali, namba za simu na WhatsApp unazoweka hadharani.
  • Uthibitisho wa muuzaji: aina na namba ya kitambulisho, picha ya kitambulisho, picha yako (selfie).
  • Matumizi: vitendo ndani ya app (k.m. kufungua skrini, kubonyeza "Piga simu" au "WhatsApp" kwenye tangazo), aina ya simu, toleo la app, anwani ya IP, taarifa za hitilafu.

Hatusomi SMS zako. Kitasa inasoma tu maandishi unayochagua kubandika au kushiriki nayo. Hatusikilizi wala kurekodi simu au ujumbe wa WhatsApp; tunahesabu tu kwamba kitufe kimebonyezwa.

2. Kwa nini tunatumia taarifa hizi

Kukuingiza kwenye akaunti (OTP); kukuunganisha na nyumba uliyoalikwa; kuonyesha kodi, risiti na mikataba; kugawa na kufuatilia bili za pamoja; kukadiria matumizi ya umeme; kuonyesha na kukagua matangazo; kuzuia udanganyifu; kukutumia arifa; kuboresha huduma.

3. Nani anaona taarifa zako

  • Kodi na malipo ya kodi: wewe (mpangaji), mwenye nyumba, msimamizi wa nyumba hiyo, na wasimamizi wa Kitasa kwa ajili ya ukaguzi tu.
  • Bili za pamoja na LUKU: wanachama wote wa nyumba hiyo wanaona majina, kiasi na hali ya malipo ya bili hizo.
  • Matangazo: yanaonekana kwa umma baada ya kuidhinishwa, pamoja na namba ya simu uliyoweka.
  • Ukurasa wa kuhakiki risiti: unaonyesha jina la kwanza tu, kiasi, kipindi na namba ya risiti.
  • Watoa huduma: Beem Africa (kutuma SMS), Google Firebase (arifa na ripoti za hitilafu), mtoa huduma wa seva (hosting) nchini. Hatuuzi taarifa zako.
  • Mamlaka: pale tunapotakiwa na sheria.

4. Usalama

Tunatumia HTTPS, usimbaji fiche (encryption) wa namba za vitambulisho, faili za ushahidi zisizo za umma, na kumbukumbu zisizoweza kubadilishwa kwa malipo yaliyothibitishwa.

5. Muda wa kuhifadhi

Kumbukumbu za malipo, risiti na mikataba huhifadhiwa kwa muda wote wa huduma kwa sababu ni ushahidi wa kifedha kwa pande mbili; angalau miaka 7. Namba za OTP: siku 7. Takwimu za matumizi: miezi 12.

6. Haki zako

Kuomba nakala ya taarifa zako; kurekebisha taarifa zisizo sahihi; kuomba kufuta akaunti (taarifa za wasifu zitafutwa, lakini kumbukumbu za malipo zilizothibitishwa zitabaki kama ilivyoelezwa hapo juu); kupinga matumizi fulani; kulalamika kwa Tume ya Ulinzi wa Taarifa Binafsi (PDPC). Wasiliana nasi: privacy@wesandev.com.

7. Watoto

Kitasa si kwa watu walio chini ya miaka 18.

8. Mabadiliko

Tutakujulisha ndani ya app kabla mabadiliko makubwa hayajaanza kutumika.
