Who we are
Our website address is https://jitimu.com. At JitimuTech Kenya Limited we provide professional and proved information on matters regarding career guidance, current news touching on the education sector, and hand-picked revision and teaching materials.

Definitions
- ‘Non-personal data’ (NPD) is information that is in no way personally identifiable.
- ‘Personal data’ (PD) means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Personal Data is in many ways the same as Personally Identifiable Information (PII). However, Personal Data is broader in scope and covers more data.
- A “visitor” is someone who merely browses our website. A “member” is someone who has registered with us to use or buy our services and products. The term “user” is a collective identifier that refers to either a visitor or a member.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

We may collect personal information like contacts, your name, and comments you make on our site. We do not share this information with anyone, but we aim to use this information to provide you with better services and to know your views about the same.
We may send you newsletters from time to time when you subscribe to receive updates on new topics and any other information that may interest you in regard to our services. You can opt-out of receiving newsletters by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in the email you receive. We shall not send you any newsletter when you unsubscribe from receiving newsletters.

Our website uses Google Analytics to collect information about the use of our website. Google Analytics collects information from users such as age, gender, interests, demographics, how often they visit our website, what pages they visit, and what other websites they have used before coming to our website.

We do not combine the information collected using Google Analytics with Personal Data. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit our website, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google also uses specific identifiers to help collect information about the use of our website.

We Use Your Information to:
- Provide our products and services you have requested or purchased from us
- Personalize and customize our content

Who we share your data with
We would never sell or rent your Personal Data to third parties for marketing purposes. However, for data aggregation purposes we may use your NPD, which might be sold to other parties at our discretion. Any such data aggregation would not contain any of your Personal Data.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
