Privacy notice

This notice explains how Wings Connect handles personal data, with Kenya's Data Protection Act, 2019 in mind.

What we collect

Your name, email, optional phone number, profile photo, academic details, the scholarship or alumni reference you give us, and any documents you upload to verify membership. If you choose to complete your profile, we also store your profession, employer, skills and links.

Why we collect it

To verify that you are a Wings to Fly alumnus or active scholar, to run your account, to let other verified members find you (only as your privacy settings allow) and to keep the platform secure. We do not sell personal data, and we do not collect national ID numbers.

Who can see it

Verification documents are seen only by authorised membership administrators and are stored privately. Your profile is visible to verified members, to your connections only, or hidden, as you choose in your profile settings. Your email and phone number are hidden unless you choose to show them.

Your rights

You can see and correct your profile at any time, download a copy of your data from Settings, and permanently delete your account from Settings. Deletion removes your profile, documents and connections. A record that an administrative action took place is kept in our audit log without your personal details.

Security

Passwords are stored as one-way hashes, administrators use two-factor authentication, and administrative actions are logged.
