Amalgamated Union of Kenya Metal Workers (AUKMW) is a Trade Union constituted by trade unions rules in Kenya. Our product is a trade union app that helps you connect with the trade union to ease membership management and ease of access to union information
When you use the app, you’ll share some information with us. So we want to be upfront about the information we collect, how we use it, whom we share it with, and the controls we give you to access, update, and delete your information.
That’s why we’ve written this Privacy Policy. And it’s why we’ve tried to write it in a way that’s blissfully free of the legalese that often clouds these documents. Of course, if you still have questions about anything in our Privacy Policy, just contact us.
There are two basic categories of information we collect:
Here’s a little more detail on each of these categories.
When you interact with our services, we collect information that you provide to us. For example, most of our services require you to set up an account, so we need to collect a few important details about you, such as your name, username, password, email address, phone number, and date of birth. We may also ask you to provide us with some additional information that will be publicly visible on our services, such as a profile picture or Bitmoji avatar. Other services, such as commerce products, may require you to provide us with a debit or credit card number and its associated account information.
When you contact customer support or communicate with us in any other way, we’ll collect whatever information you volunteer or that we need to resolve your question.
When you use our services, we collect information about which of those services you’ve used and how you’ve used them. We might know, for instance, that you updated your profile details, reported an incidence etc. Here’s a fuller explanation of the types of information we collect when you use our services:
