Hostiko (hostiko.co.ke) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect and use your personal information.

1. Information We Collect

We collect your name, email address, Kenyan phone number (for M-Pesa payments), and billing information when you register or purchase services. We also collect server logs, IP addresses, and usage data for security and performance purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used to provide and improve our services, process M-Pesa payments via KopoKopo, send service notifications and invoices, and provide customer support. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. M-Pesa Payments

Payment processing is handled by KopoKopo (Safaricom M-Pesa partner). Your M-Pesa transaction data is processed by KopoKopo under their own privacy policy. Hostiko stores only transaction confirmation references.
