Kazi Webasa (Piece Jobs): Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 November 2026
This policy explains what personal information Kazi Webasa uses when you visit https://kaziwebasa.com or use the Kazi Webasa app, why we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and the rights you have. We have tried to keep it short and plain. If anything is unclear, email us at help@kaziwebasa.com.
1. Who we are
Kazi Webasa (Piece Jobs) is run by Aaron Tech Solutions, a sole trader in the United Kingdom, trading as Kazi Webasa ("we", "us", "our").
We are the "controller" of your personal information under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018). This means we decide how and why it is used.
Contact for privacy questions and requests: help@kaziwebasa.com
2. What Kazi Webasa is
Kazi Webasa is a neighbourhood noticeboard for piece jobs. People post small jobs for free. Helpers can browse jobs for free, and use tokens to see a job's contact details and chat. People who offer services can also list a profile in Find a pro. We do not check or vet people or jobs. We do not collect or check right-to-work documents, visa details or DBS certificates. Please do not upload them to a job post, profile, review or chat.
3. The information we use
The app is new, and much of it still runs on your own device. Please read this section carefully, because it explains what we hold and what we do not.
a) Information kept only in your browser
Until signed-in accounts are available, your job drafts, the jobs you post, your chats, alerts choices, settings (such as your country, town and display currency) and your app activity are stored in your web browser on your device, using a feature called "local storage".
- This information stays on your device. We do not receive a copy of it, so we cannot recover it for you.
- If you clear your browser data, use a private window, change device or uninstall the app, it may be lost.
- Anyone who uses your device may be able to see it. You can delete it at any time with Reset data on this device in the app, or by clearing your browser data for kaziwebasa.com.
- Reports you make about a job with the job Report button are currently kept on your device only. If something is urgent or serious, please also email us (see section 9).
b) Information our servers hold
Some features need our servers. For these we hold:
- A random app ID. The app creates a random identifier for your browser. It does not contain your name. We use it to link your token balance, purchases and unlocks to your device.
- Your account record. We keep a short record of each app user on our servers: your random app ID, the first name you enter, whether you use the app to post jobs, find work or as a pro, the country you chose, the date you joined, when you last used the app, how many jobs you posted, your token and highlight totals, and whether your access has been suspended. Your email is included only if you made a pro profile. Our staff can see this record to run and protect the service.
- The country you are in. Our hosting provider tells us which country your internet connection is in. We use it to decide whether paid features apply and to make sure jobs are posted in the country you are in. We keep only the two-letter country code, not your IP address or precise location, and we do not use your phone's GPS.
- Tokens and purchases. Your token balance, a record of each token added or used (for example, which job or pro you unlocked and when), your free monthly credits, the country and currency you chose at checkout, and the outcome of each payment (such as paid or refunded). We do not receive or store your full card details.
- Highlights. Which job was highlighted, for how long, and the payment record.
- Pro profiles (Find a pro). If you create a pro profile, we hold what you enter: your name, trade and category, short bio, town or area (for example the first part of your postcode), the distance you will travel, the days you work, your rates, your phone number and email address, and any profile or work photos you add. Your first name and initial, trade, area, days and rate are shown to everyone. Your full name, phone number and email are shown only to people who spend tokens or credits to contact you.
- Reviews and reports about pros. Reviews you leave (star rating and comment), and reports you make about a pro, a review or a photo.
c) Information you send us
If you email help@kaziwebasa.com, we receive your email address, your name if you give it, and whatever you choose to tell us or attach. This includes refund requests, complaints, safety reports and privacy requests.
d) Payment information (Stripe)
Payments for tokens and highlights are processed by Stripe. When you pay, you leave our site and enter your details on Stripe's own secure checkout page. Stripe collects your card details, billing details and email address, and may use information about your device to prevent fraud. Stripe tells us whether the payment worked and gives us basic details such as the amount, date, currency and a payment reference. We never see or store your full card number.
Stripe also uses your information for its own purposes, such as fraud prevention and meeting its legal duties. For those purposes Stripe is a separate controller. See Stripe's privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.
In some countries paid features are currently switched off and the service is free. There, no money is taken, no card details are collected and you are not sent to Stripe.
e) Technical information
When you visit the site, the companies that host and deliver it (our hosting provider, Netlify) automatically process technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages requested and the date and time. This is needed to deliver the site, keep it secure and fix faults.
The site also loads a small script from our hosting provider that can show the provider's own site badge or toolbar. We do not use it to track you.
We do not use advertising cookies, analytics or tracking pixels. We do not build advertising profiles about you.
f) Photos on the site
Stock photos on the site come from Pexels and are used under the Pexels licence. They do not show our users.
4. Why we use your information, and our legal reasons
UK data protection law says we must have a legal reason ("lawful basis") for each use. Ours are:
| What we do | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Run the app, keep your token balance, process unlocks, show pro profiles and contact details to people who unlock them, and deliver highlights you pay for | Contract: we need it to provide the service you asked for |
| Take payments and handle refunds through Stripe | Contract, and legal obligation for tax and accounting records |
| Answer your emails, complaints and requests | Legitimate interests (helping you and running our service), or contract where it is about something you bought |
| Keep the service safe: handle reports, remove content, suspend accounts, prevent fraud, chargeback abuse, scraping and misuse, and protect children and vulnerable people | Legitimate interests (keeping users and the service safe), and legal obligation where the law requires us to act |
| Keep the site working and secure (technical information) | Legitimate interests |
| Pass information to the police, local authority or other bodies when we must, or when someone may be at risk of harm | Legal obligation, or vital interests where someone's life or safety is at risk |
| Anything we ask your permission for, such as optional notifications | Consent, which you can withdraw at any time |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have weighed our interests against your rights. You can object (see section 9).
We do not use your information for automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.
5. Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising.
We share it only with:
- People who help us run Kazi Webasa, who may see personal information only where they need it to operate the service, handle refunds or reports, or keep users safe, and who must keep it confidential.
- Other users, as the app is designed to work. For example, a pro's full contact details are shown to someone who spends tokens or credits to unlock them, and a poster's contact details are shown to a helper who unlocks the job.
- Stripe, to take payments, issue refunds and prevent fraud.
- Our hosting and technical service providers, including Netlify, who run the website and our servers for us under contract and act on our instructions.
- Professional advisers, such as an accountant or lawyer, where needed.
- Authorities, such as the police, a local authority or HMRC, when the law requires it, or to protect someone from harm.
- A future owner, if Kazi Webasa is moved to a company or sold. We will tell you before that happens.
6. Information sent outside the UK
Some of our service providers, including Stripe and our hosting provider, may process information outside the UK, for example in the European Economic Area or the United States. When this happens, we rely on the protections UK law allows, such as UK "adequacy regulations" for that country, or approved contract terms (the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum to the EU standard contractual clauses). You can ask us for more detail at help@kaziwebasa.com.
7. How long we keep it
- Information in your browser: until you delete it, clear your browser data, or use Reset data on this device. Free monthly credits that you do not use expire at the end of each month.
- Account records: while you use the app, and for up to 2 years after you last use it, unless we need part of it longer for a safety concern or a payment record (see below).
- Pro profiles, reviews and photos: while your profile is live. If you ask us to delete your profile, we will remove it unless we must keep something for a safety or legal reason.
- Emails and reports: as long as we need them to deal with the matter, and then for a reasonable period in case it comes up again or we need it for a safety concern, complaint or legal claim.
- Payment, refund and token records: as long as UK tax and accounting law requires. This is usually 6 years from the end of the tax year they relate to.
- Technical logs: for the short period our hosting provider keeps them.
8. Children
Kazi Webasa is only for people aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect information about children from children.
Job posts, profiles, photos, reviews and chats must not include a child's name, photo, address, school, nursery or any other detail that could identify a child. We will remove anything that does.
If you think a child is using Kazi Webasa, or a child's details have been posted, please tell us at help@kaziwebasa.com. If a child is in immediate danger, call 999 (in the UK) or your local emergency number first.
9. Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
- Access: ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Rectification: ask us to correct information that is wrong or incomplete.
- Erasure: ask us to delete your information.
- Restriction: ask us to limit how we use it.
- Portability: ask for information you gave us in a format you can reuse.
- Objection: object to uses based on legitimate interests.
- Withdraw consent: where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
To use any of these rights, email help@kaziwebasa.com. Tell us what you would like, and include details that help us find your information, such as the date and amount of a purchase, your Stripe receipt, or the name on your pro profile. We may ask you to prove who you are. We will normally reply within one month. These rights have some legal limits, and we will explain if one applies.
Remember that information kept only in your browser is not held by us. You can see and delete it yourself on your device.
Complaints. If you are unhappy with how we use your information, please contact us first so we can try to put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK data protection regulator: https://ico.org.uk or 0303 123 1113.
10. Cookies, local storage and similar technology
- Local storage and app cache. The app stores your data, settings and a random app ID in your browser, and caches pages so the app works offline. These are essential for the app to work, so we do not ask for consent for them. You can delete them at any time.
- Stripe. When you go to Stripe's checkout page, Stripe may set its own cookies to process your payment and prevent fraud. See Stripe's cookie policy at https://stripe.com/cookies-policy/legal.
- No advertising or analytics cookies. We do not use them. If this changes, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first where the law requires it.
11. Keeping your information safe
We use reasonable steps to protect your information. The site uses an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, we do not store card details, and contact details in Find a pro are only released after an unlock. But no website or app is completely secure, and information stored in your browser is only as safe as your device. Please keep your device locked, and do not share more personal information in a job post or chat than you need to.
If we have a data breach that is likely to put you at risk, we will tell you and the ICO when the law requires it.
12. Changes coming soon
The app is still being built. We will update this policy before we launch:
- signed-in accounts;
- job alerts or notifications by email, text message or push notification;
- sending job reports or chats to our servers;
- any analytics, tracking or new service providers.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will change the "Last updated" date at the top, and if a change is important, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect.
