This policy explains what Univibe ("we", "us") collects from users of the Univibe app and website, how we use it, and the rights you have under Kenya's Data Protection Act, 2019.
1. Information we collect
Account details: name, email address, school/university, profile photo and bio.
Student verification (optional): student ID photo and selfie, used only to approve verified-student status and reviewed by our team.
Your content: posts, comments, messages, group messages, market listings, event details and files you upload.
Technical data: device push token (to send you notifications), app usage needed for safety and abuse prevention.
2. How we use it
To run the app: accounts, feeds, chats, groups, market, events and crushes.
To keep campus safe: verification reviews, spam/abuse detection, report handling.
To notify you: pushes and emails you asked for (you can mute pushes anytime in Settings).
We never sell your personal data. We do not show your email or ID documents to other users.
3. Crushes stay secret
Crushes are anonymous by design. Another user learns your identity only if you crush each other back in the same week. Our team never reveals crushes.
4. Who else sees data
Service providers that run our infrastructure (database, file storage, push delivery), bound by confidentiality.
Authorities only where Kenyan law requires it.
Advertisers: the app may show ads. Ad networks receive only technical ad identifiers, never your name, email or messages.
5. Your rights (Kenya DPA 2019)
You may: access your data, correct it, delete your account (in-app: Profile → Settings → Delete Account; hidden immediately, permanently removed after 20 days), object to processing, and complain to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC). To exercise any right, contact us below — we reply within 30 days.
6. Children
Univibe is for users aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
7. Data security & storage
Data travels encrypted and is stored with access controls. Verification ID photos are used only for approval. No system is perfect — if a breach affects you, we will notify you as the law requires.
8. Changes
We may update this policy and will post the new date above. Continued use after changes means you accept them.
