1. Introduction

Welcome to KƐ́LÁH. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy informs you about how we look after your personal data when you visit our website or use our mobile applications, and explains your privacy rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR), and South Africa Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

2. The Data We Collect

We collect, use, store, and transfer different kinds of personal data which we have grouped together as follows:

  • Identity Data: First name, last name, username, and account credentials.
  • Contact Data: Billing address, email address, and phone numbers.
  • Business & Compliance Data: Business name, tax registration number (TIN/VAT), Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) details, and financial receipt uploads.
  • Device & Usage Data: Caching statistics, load metrics, and device identifiers (IP address, operating system, and browser info).

3. How We Use Your Data

We only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we use your data to:

  • Process your tax liability calculations and expense entries.
  • Execute receipt image scans using secure AI engines (e.g. AWS Textract).
  • Enable dynamic government database validation when you request integrations.
  • Send you critical system notifications and upcoming tax reminders.

4. Data Storage & International Transfers

We apply industry-standard security encryption (SSL/TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest) to all collected details. Where required under local statutory acts, data is localized and hosted securely within regional clouds. For any transfers outside your region, we enforce strict Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to ensure equivalent protection.

Under data protection laws, you have rights in relation to your personal data including:

  • Request access to your personal data.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Request erasure of your personal data ("Right to be Forgotten").
