1. Scope of this Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the "ETNet Wallet" mobile application (Android package name com.etnet.wallet, and the iOS client). The App is designed for real-estate marketing professionals ("Marketers") and provides customer management, commission tracking and commission withdrawal features.

This Policy does not cover third-party websites or services that you may access via links from the App. The privacy practices of such third parties are governed by their own policies.

We collect only the information that is necessary to provide the App's features.

2.3 Commission Withdrawal

To settle commissions to your mobile-money account, we collect your M-Pesa phone number, which is verified by an SMS code before being linked. This number is used solely for commission payouts and is not used for any other commercial purpose.

2.4 Business Features (Customer and Building Management)

As a Marketer you may enter customer and building information. This data is entered by you, and you are responsible for it:

Before entering information about any third party (e.g. a customer), please ensure you have obtained their lawful consent and that the use is consistent with the App's business purpose.

We do not collect IMEI, Android ID, OAID, IDFA, advertising identifiers, MAC address, or device serial numbers, and we do not collect your contacts, photo gallery, photos, SMS contents, or browsing history.

Note: The App also declares visibility queries for tel: (one-tap call to customer service) and text-processing capabilities. These are system-level redirects and do not read your contacts or call logs.

4. Third-Party Services

To provide map and location features, we have integrated the following third-party services. These services may process your information in accordance with their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review:

ProviderPurposeInformation possibly processedPolicy
Google Maps SDK Map rendering and location display for building selection Device identifiers and location-related information Google Privacy Policy
Geolocator Obtaining device GPS location (only for map selection) Geographic coordinates Handled by the underlying OS location service
Important: Map and reverse-geocoding requests are routed through our own backend before reaching Google services (in order to protect the API key). Location data therefore passes through our servers during transmission.

We do not integrate any push, analytics, advertising, third-party sign-in, or instant-messaging SDKs.

5. How We Share, Transfer and Disclose Information

5.1 Sharing

We may share necessary information in the following situations:

We do not sell your personal information to any unrelated third party.

5.2 Transfer

We will not transfer your personal information to third parties. In the event of a merger, acquisition or asset transfer that requires the transfer of information, we will require the recipient to remain bound by this Policy; if the recipient changes the purpose of use, it must obtain your consent again.

5.3 Public Disclosure

We will only publicly disclose your personal information with your consent, or where required to do so by law.

5.4 Legal Requirements

To comply with applicable laws, respond to lawful requests from competent authorities, or protect the lawful rights and interests of us and our users, we may be required to disclose your information.

6. How We Store and Protect Information

Your personal information is stored on our own servers. Where cross-border transmission is involved (for example, map data processed by Google), we handle it in accordance with applicable laws.

6.2 Security Measures

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without prior parental consent, we will delete that information as soon as possible.

9. Data Retention

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business, technology, or legal requirements. For material changes (such as material changes to the types of information collected, the purposes of use, or third-party sharing), we will notify you through in-app prompts or other prominent means.
