Privacy notice

What we collect, and why

• Joining the movement: name, phone number, area/estate, optional email, the role you choose and, if you give it, your national ID number. We use these to organise volunteers and keep you informed about the campaign. Your ID number is never stored as the number: we keep a one-way code to check the IEBC register and tell you your polling station.
• Reporting a ward issue: the category, location, description, optional photo, optional location from your phone and optional WhatsApp number, to follow up the issue with the county and update you.
• Voting on ideas: your phone number, only to make sure each number votes once.
• Contributions: name, phone, amount, payment reference and optional email, because campaign-finance rules require us to record contributions.
• Phone checks: we send a one-time code by SMS. We store only a scrambled form of the code, for 24 hours.

Our legal basis

Your consent, which you give with the checkbox on each form and can withdraw at any time, and our legal obligations for contribution records.

The voter register

The campaign holds a copy of the IEBC register for this ward to confirm supporters' registration and plan where to campaign. It is encrypted, seen only by the campaign manager, every look at it is logged, it is never used for bulk messages and never shared, and it is deleted 30 days after the general election.

Messages

We only message people who gave us their number on this website or in person and agreed to be contacted. Reply STOP or tell any team member to stop messages.

Who sees your data

Only the campaign team members who need it, by role. Our SMS provider (Africa's Talking) delivers codes and messages. We do not sell or give your data to anyone else, and we do not publish it. Ideas show only the idea, estate and pillar, never your name or number.

How long we keep it

Until three months after the 2027 general election, then we delete it, except contribution records, which we keep as long as the law requires.

Your rights

You may ask to see, correct or delete your data, or object to its use, by contacting us. You may also complain to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (odpc.go.ke).
