Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 6, 2026

Elimu360 ('Elimu360', 'we', 'us') operates a marketplace connecting schools, suppliers, parents, and shoppers across Kenya and East Africa. This policy explains what information we collect through the platform — the website, the vendor and school portals, and related services — and how we use it.

1. Who this policy covers

This policy applies to everyone who uses Elimu360, regardless of account type: school administrators, teachers and parents managing a school account, vendors and suppliers listing products or fulfilling orders, individual shoppers, and platform administrators.

If you access Elimu360 on behalf of a school or a business, you confirm you’re authorized to share that organization’s information with us under this policy.

2. Information we collect

  • Account information: name, email address, phone number, password (stored hashed, never in plain text), and the account type you register as (school admin, vendor, parent, or shopper).
  • Business and school details: for vendors, business name, registration details, category, county/town, and website; for schools, institution type, student and staff count bands, modules used, and postal/physical address.
  • Verification (KYC) documents: business registration certificates, KRA PIN certificates, tax compliance certificates, and business permits submitted by vendors during onboarding, and school logos or supporting documents where applicable.
  • Marketplace activity: product listings, requests for quotation (RFQs), quotes, orders, shipments, reviews, and messages exchanged through the platform.
  • Payment and financing information: order values, payment references, and — if you apply for financing through one of our lending partners — the details you submit in that application. We do not store full card or bank account numbers ourselves; payment processing is handled by our payment and financing partners.
  • Social login data: if you sign in with Google or Facebook, the provider shares your name, email address, and account identifier with us to create or match your Elimu360 account. We never see or store your Google or Facebook password.
  • Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, and similar diagnostic information, collected automatically to keep the platform secure and reliable.

3. How we use your information

  • To create and manage your account, and to verify vendor and school identities.
  • To operate the marketplace — matching RFQs with vendors, processing orders, coordinating fulfilment, and handling reviews.
  • To share qualifying information with financing partners (currently Premier Credit, Momentum Credit, and Platinum Credit Ltd) when you choose to apply for financing through the platform.
  • To send transactional notifications — order updates, verification status, and account alerts.
  • To detect fraud, enforce our Terms of Service, and comply with legal obligations.
  • To improve the platform based on aggregated, anonymized usage patterns.

4. Who we share information with

We share information only where it’s needed to provide the service:

  • Other marketplace participants: a vendor sees the school/shopper details needed to fulfil an order; a school sees vendor and quote details needed to evaluate an RFQ.
  • Financing partners: only when you actively submit a financing application, and only the details relevant to that application.
  • Service providers: hosting, payment processing, SMS/email delivery, and analytics providers, bound by contract to protect your data.
  • Legal and regulatory bodies: where required by Kenyan law or a valid legal process.

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

5. Children’s privacy

Elimu360 accounts (school admin, vendor, parent, shopper) are intended for adults. We don’t knowingly collect personal information directly from children. Any student-related information a school chooses to manage within its own school-management tools is governed by that school’s own policies and its agreement with Elimu360, not by this consumer-facing marketplace policy.

6. Data retention

We keep account and transaction information for as long as your account is active, and for a reasonable period afterward to meet tax, accounting, and dispute-resolution obligations. KYC documents are retained for as long as required by applicable financial and regulatory record- keeping rules.

7. Your rights

Under the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information, and to object to certain uses of it. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below — we’ll respond within a reasonable time.

8. Security

We use industry-standard safeguards — encryption in transit, hashed passwords, and access controls — to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, and we encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to report any suspected unauthorized access immediately.

9. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how the platform is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect parts of the site that require you to be signed in.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the platform evolves. We’ll update the “Last updated” date above, and for material changes, we’ll notify you through the platform or by email.
