This Privacy Policy explains how Jamii Apps (“the App”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information when you use the mobile application.

By using Jamii Apps, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. Who we are

Jamii Apps is a government digital super-app that helps citizens access linked public services (mini-apps) from one place, including services such as NaPA (National Physical Addressing), Jamii Pocket, and Jamii Pass–related experiences.

2. Information we collect

2.1 Account and identity (Jamii Pass)

When you sign in with Jamii Pass (OIDC), we may receive and store profile information associated with your government digital identity, which can include:

2.2 App preferences (stored on your device)

2.3 Location

The App may request precise or approximate location so that location-enabled mini-apps (for example NaPA / Visit Tanzania features) can show nearby places, directions, or local services. You can deny or revoke location permission in your device settings.

2.4 Technical data

Limited technical information such as device type, operating system, app version, and connectivity may be processed to operate and support the App. We do not currently use third-party advertising SDKs or commercial analytics trackers in the Jamii Apps shell.

2.5 Mini-apps

Linked mini-apps (for example NaPA or Jamii Pocket) may collect additional personal data under their own notices when you use those services. This Policy covers the Jamii Apps host application.

3. How we use your information

We do not sell your personal information.

Sera ya Faragha — Jamii Apps

Jamii Apps ni programu ya serikali inayokuwezesha kufikia huduma za kidijitali kupitia Jamii Pass na programu ndogo kama NaPA na Jamii Pocket.

Tunakusanya taarifa za utambulisho kutoka Jamii Pass (jina, barua pepe, simu, NIDA/NIN inapopatikana), mapendeleo yako kwenye kifaa, na eneo lako (ikiwa utaruhusu) kwa huduma zinazohitaji mahali ulipo.

Hatuziuzi taarifa zako kwa matangazo. Unaweza kutoka kwenye akaunti, kuondoa ruhusa ya eneo, au kufuta data ya programu kwenye mipangilio ya Android.
