This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you access or use Thayu Market, a services and deals marketplace operating in Kenya.

By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

Thayu Market is designed to minimize barriers, including the need for user accounts. Therefore, we do not require users to register or log in to use most features of the platform.

However, we may collect limited information in the following ways:

When you submit a listing or interact with the platform, we may collect information such as your name, phone number, location, or any details you voluntarily provide in your listing or communication.

We may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited, for analytics and security purposes.

We may also use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and improve platform performance.

How We Use Information

The information we collect is used to operate, improve, and maintain the functionality of Thayu Market.

We use your information to display listings publicly, connect buyers and sellers, improve user experience, monitor usage patterns, prevent abuse, and ensure platform security.

We may also use aggregated, non-identifiable data to analyze trends and improve our services.

No Account Requirement and User Responsibility

Thayu Market does not require user accounts for posting or browsing. As a result, any information you choose to include in your listings becomes publicly visible.

Users are solely responsible for the accuracy and appropriateness of the information they provide. We strongly advise against sharing sensitive personal data beyond what is necessary for conducting transactions.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance functionality, analyze traffic, and improve performance.

Cookies may store preferences, enable certain features, and help us understand how users interact with the platform. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, although this may affect certain functionalities of the website.

Third-Party Services

Thayu Market may use third-party services such as analytics providers, advertising networks, or embedded content to support platform functionality.

These third parties may collect information in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for the practices of third-party services.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We may display advertisements through third-party advertising services such as Google AdSense.

These services may use cookies and tracking technologies to show relevant ads based on your browsing behavior. By using this site, you consent to the use of such technologies in accordance with applicable policies.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

However, we may disclose information where required by law, to comply with legal obligations, or to protect the rights, safety, and integrity of our platform, users, or the public.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information collected through the platform from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure.

However, due to the nature of the internet, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Users are encouraged to exercise caution when sharing information online.

User-Generated Content

All listings and content submitted to Thayu Market are considered user-generated content. By posting on the platform, you acknowledge that your content may be publicly visible and accessible to other users.

We reserve the right to review, remove, or moderate content that violates our policies or applicable laws.

Children’s Privacy

Thayu Market is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If such information is identified, we will take steps to remove it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or operational practices.
