PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: September 2026

Sokofugo (“we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use sokofugo.co.ke.

1. Information We Collect

  • Account Information: Phone number, email address, and name used to register or log in
  • Listing Information: Details you provide when posting an ad, including photos, descriptions, pricing, and contact details (phone/WhatsApp)
  • Usage Data: Pages visited, searches made, and general interaction with the site
  • Device Information: Browser type, IP address, and similar technical data

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

  • Create and manage your account
  • Display your listings to other users
  • Send SMS verification codes for phone login
  • Enable Buyers to contact Sellers regarding listings
  • Improve the functionality and safety of the platform
  • Respond to support requests or reports of abuse

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Your contact details (phone number/WhatsApp) included in a listing are visible to other users so that Buyers can reach you directly — this is a core function of the platform.

We may share information with:

  • Service providers who help operate the site (e.g., SMS gateway providers for login verification)
  • Authorities, if required by law or to protect the safety of our users

4. Phone Number and SMS Login

When you log in using your phone number, a verification code is sent via SMS through our messaging provider. This number is used only for login verification and, where you choose to display it, for Buyers to contact you about your listings.

5. Cookies

Sokofugo may use cookies to keep you logged in and improve your browsing experience. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no online platform can guarantee complete security. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential.

7. Your Choices

You may update or delete your account information at any time by logging into your account. You may also contact us to request removal of your data, subject to any legal retention requirements.

8. Children’s Privacy

Sokofugo is not intended for users under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from minors.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
