This policy explains how celestinemawere.com (“this website”) collects and uses personal data. It is written with the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019 in mind. The website is operated by Celestine Mawere, Nairobi, Kenya. You can reach us at mawerecelestine@gmail.com.
What we collect
When you use the contact form we collect the details you enter, such as your name, email address and message. When you subscribe to articles we collect your email address and, optionally, your name. Like most websites, our hosting provider and security tools also process technical data such as your IP address and browser type.
Why we use it
We use contact details to reply to your enquiry. We use subscriber details to send you articles and updates, only if you have consented. We use technical data to keep the website secure and working.
Subscriptions
We use a double opt-in process: after you subscribe you will receive an email asking you to confirm. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can also ask us to remove you at any time.
Sharing
We do not sell your data. We share it only with service providers that help us run the website and send emails (for example our hosting and email delivery providers), who are required to protect it.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry messages for as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record-keeping. We keep subscriber details until you unsubscribe.
Your rights
Under the Data Protection Act, 2019 you have the right to know what data we hold about you, to ask us to correct or delete it, to object to or restrict its use, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, email mawerecelestine@gmail.com. You also have the right to complain to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner of Kenya.
