Privacy Policy

1. Zero-Storage Client-Side Calculation Guarantee

The core design principle of Biashara Pros is data minimization. All interactive utilities on this platform, including our PAYE Calculator, 16% VAT Calculator, Turnover Tax Analyzer, Loan Repayment Calculator, and Business Invoice Generator, execute 100% inside your local web browser runtime.

2. Personal Information We Collect

We only collect personal information you choose to submit through a form on this site, and only after you tick the consent box on that form. The forms are:

• Requested email updates and tool notifications: your email address, and optionally which tool you are interested in.
• Business profile: business name, BRS registration number, KRA PIN, county, services, description, website, and the contact person’s name, role, phone and email.
• Partner applications: name, practice name, field, licence or membership number, experience, location, fee information, website, phone and email.
• Supplier, advisor and registration-check requests: what you need, your name, phone, county and optionally email.
• Event listings and founder stories: the details of the event or story and the organiser’s or contributor’s contact details.
• Invoice generator reminders: business name, email and optionally phone, only if you ask for deadline reminders. The invoice itself is created in your browser and is never sent to us.

With each submission we record the time of your consent, your IP address and browser type, to show when and how consent was given. The calculators run entirely in your browser and do not send us the figures you enter.

3. Why We Process It

Under the Data Protection Act, 2019, we rely on your consent, given on each form, to use your details for the purpose stated next to the consent box: replying to your request, checking and publishing a listing, matching you with a professional, or sending the briefing. We do not use form details for anything else, and we do not send marketing you did not ask for.

4. Your Rights

You can ask us at any time to show you the data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or stop using it, and you can withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect anything done before you withdrew it. Email [email protected] and we will respond within 14 days, free of charge. You may also complain to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC).

5. Who Sees Your Data

We never sell or rent personal data. Your details are seen only by:

• Our team at Aheri Systems, to handle your request.
• A business or professional you ask us to connect you with, and only the details needed for that introduction, after you have agreed to it.
• Cloudflare, which hosts this site and stores form submissions in its database service on our behalf.
• Google Analytics and Ahrefs Web Analytics, which receive anonymous usage data (pages visited, device type, approximate location). They do not receive anything you type into a form.
• Authorities, where Kenyan law requires it.

6. How Long We Keep It, and How It Is Protected

We keep briefing subscriptions until you unsubscribe, listing and partner records while the listing is active and for up to 12 months after, and other requests for up to 12 months after we have dealt with them. Then we delete them. Submissions are stored in an access-controlled database, all traffic to this site is encrypted, and access is limited to the people who handle your request.
