Privacy Policy

Belagidds Community (“we”, “our”, or “the Collective”) is a grassroots movement committed to cultural sovereignty and economic empowerment. Respect for individual dignity, ancestral trust, and privacy is fundamental to our ethos.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect personal information that you intentionally provide when applying for membership, registering for community gatherings, submitting proposals, or participating in the Member Sanctuary.

This may include your name, contact email address, telephone number, residential locality, and statements of intent. We do not purchase, broker, or scrape external data about our members.

2. How Your Information Is Used

Your information is used strictly to:

• Verify and process community membership affirmations;
• Facilitate participation in community circles, events, and economic cooperatives;
• Transmit critical community announcements, governance votes, and notices;
• Safeguard platform infrastructure against malicious intrusions and abusive spam.

3. Public vs. Private Community Records

Member directories, chat logs within the Sanctuary, and private proposal drafts are protected behind server-side role-based authentication. Only approved members with active status have visibility into member-only spaces. Public directory listings (such as community institutions and businesses) are published only upon explicit submission and steward approval.

4. Data Sovereignty and Third Parties

We operate self-hosted infrastructure on private dedicated servers. We do not sell, rent, or license member data to commercial advertisers, data brokers, or monetization networks.

5. Cookies & Tracking

Our platform uses strictly necessary cookies for session authentication and interface preferences. For complete technical details, please consult our Cookie Policy.

6. Member Rights & Data Erasure

Every member retains the right to inspect, update, or request the permanent deletion of their personal profile and account records. You may initiate an audit or deletion request by emailing [email protected].

7. Inquiries & Governance

If you have questions regarding this Privacy Policy or wish to connect with our data stewards, please reach out directly at [email protected] or call +254 700 000 000.
