Privacy Policy

Your health is personal — and so is your data.

At Kulawise, we're building tools to help people eat better, spend smarter, and take control of their health with ease. To make that happen, we collect and use certain personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how you stay in control.

This policy applies to everyone who uses the Kulawise app, website, or interacts with us via channels like Telegram.

We aim to keep it clear, respectful, and honest.

1. Why We Collect Data

We collect data to:

  • Help you build personalized meal and wellness plans
  • Offer smart recommendations based on your pantry, budget, and preferences
  • Track your credits and rewards
  • Send helpful notifications and updates
  • Improve the app experience and fix bugs
  • Comply with applicable legal and security standards

2. What We Collect

Depending on how you use Kulawise, we may collect:

  • Account info: name, email, phone number
  • Health info: allergies, conditions, preferences (if you share it)
  • Location: to offer market-aware suggestions and pricing
  • Activity: steps walked, challenges joined (if you opt in)
  • Pantry data: what ingredients you've logged
  • Meal scans: images uploaded to get AI insights
  • Feedback: questions, reports, or survey responses

We only collect what's needed to give you the features you signed up for — and nothing more.

3. Cookies & Analytics

We use cookies and analytics tools to understand how people use the app and site, so we can improve it. You can disable cookies in your browser if you'd prefer.

4. How We Use Your Data

Here's how we use your data:

  • To suggest daily meals based on your preferences and goals
  • To recommend ways to reduce cost (e.g., using pantry or local prices)
  • To track progress (steps, credits, meal responses)
  • To personalize your dashboard, reminders, and rewards
  • To troubleshoot and improve Kulawise
  • To meet our legal and security obligations

We never sell your data.

5. Who We Share Data With

We only share your data with trusted partners that help us:

  • Host and secure your data (e.g., cloud storage)
  • Process payments (for premium features, if any)
  • Provide customer support tools
  • Run analytics and reporting

Everyone we work with signs data protection agreements.

6. Your Rights & Controls

You can:

  • View or update your profile
  • Request a copy of your data
  • Ask us to delete your data
  • Opt out of promotional messages anytime

To do any of the above, email us at [email protected].

7. Security & Storage

We use encryption, secure cloud services, and access controls to protect your data. Our systems are built to industry standards, and we never store payment details directly.

We also encourage you to use a strong password and never share it.

8. Data Retention

We keep your data for as long as you actively use Kulawise or as required by law. If you delete your account, we'll delete your data — unless we're legally required to keep it (e.g., for fraud prevention or tax compliance).

9. Updates to This Policy

If we ever make a major change to how we handle your data, we'll let you know via email or app notification.

You're welcome to check back here for the latest version.

10. Governing Law

This policy follows Nigeria's NDPR and NDPA regulations and any other laws that apply. Disputes will be handled under the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
