Bafumbira Dating Privacy Policy: Last Updated: 5 September 2026

Bafumbira Beza is committed to protecting the privacy, dignity, safety, and personal information of everyone who uses the Bafumbira Dating Platform on Bafumbira.com (“Dating Platform”, “Platform”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

This Dating Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, when we may share it, and the choices available to you.

This policy is designed with Uganda’s Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019 and the Data Protection and Privacy Regulations, 2021 in mind. Uganda’s law requires personal data to be handled fairly and lawfully, for specific purposes, in a manner that is adequate and not excessive, with appropriate security safeguards and transparency to the data subject.

By creating a Dating Platform account or submitting information through Bafumbira.com, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy and, where consent is required, consent to the collection and processing of your information as described below.

1. About the Bafumbira Dating Platform

The Bafumbira Dating Platform is a dedicated online service intended to help adult Bafumbira and people interested in forming relationships with Bafumbira people discover one another and develop meaningful connections.

The Dating Platform is not a WhatsApp group.

It is designed as a structured platform where users can create profiles, search for potential connections, communicate privately through available platform features, and decide for themselves what personal information they wish to share with another person.

Our goal is to provide a more structured, privacy-conscious and purposeful environment for meeting people than an open messaging group.

2. Who Can Use the Dating Platform?

The Bafumbira Dating Platform is intended only for adults aged 18 years and above.

We do not knowingly collect or maintain dating profiles belonging to children or persons under 18.

If we discover that a person under 18 has created a dating profile, we may suspend or remove the account and delete the information associated with it, subject to any information we are legally required to retain.

3. Information We May Collect

Depending on how you use the Platform, we may collect information including:

A. Account information

When you register, we may collect:

• Name or display name
• Username
• Email address
• Password or authentication information
• Date of birth or age
• Gender
• Country and general location
• Account status

B. Dating profile information

You may voluntarily provide information such as:

• Profile photograph
• Personal introduction
• Age
• Occupation
• Education
• Interests and hobbies
• Languages spoken
• General location
• Relationship status
• Relationship intentions
• Preferred age range
• Preferred location of a potential partner
• Whether you are willing to relocate
• Other information you choose to include in your dating profile

Some of these categories may be sensitive or capable of revealing sensitive information. Under Uganda’s Data Protection and Privacy Act, certain information—including information concerning religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual life, financial information and health status—is treated as special personal data and is subject to additional protections.

We therefore encourage users not to publish sensitive information unless it is genuinely necessary for their use of the Platform and they are comfortable sharing it.

4. Information You Choose to Make Public

The Dating Platform allows you to decide what information appears on your dating profile.

Information included in your public profile may be visible to other registered Dating Platform users and, depending on the Platform’s configuration, potentially to other visitors to Bafumbira.com.

You should therefore never publish information that you do not want another person to see.

In particular, we strongly discourage users from publicly posting:

• Phone numbers
• Personal email addresses
• Home addresses
• National identification numbers
• Passport numbers
• Bank or mobile-money information
• Passwords
• Private family information
• Medical information
• Other highly sensitive personal information

Your phone number will not be publicly displayed merely because you have created a Dating Platform profile, unless you voluntarily choose to provide it to another person or explicitly authorize its display.

5. How We Use Your Information

We may use your information to:

1. Create and maintain your Dating Platform account.
2. Create and display your dating profile.
3. Help other users discover compatible profiles.
4. Provide search and filtering functions.
5. Enable messaging and communication features.
6. Provide favorites, likes or similar features where available.
7. Verify or moderate accounts where appropriate.
8. Detect, investigate and prevent fraud, scams, impersonation and abuse.
9. Respond to complaints and reports.
10. Enforce our Dating Community Guidelines and Terms of Use.
11. Improve the security and performance of Bafumbira.com.
12. Communicate important information about your account or the Platform.
13. Comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.
14. Protect the rights, safety and property of Bafumbira Beza, our users and others.

Uganda’s Data Protection and Privacy Act requires personal information to be collected for a lawful, specific and explicitly defined purpose and requires users to be informed about the nature, purpose, recipients and retention of information being collected.

6. Your Consent

Where consent is the legal basis for processing your personal information, we will seek your consent in an appropriate manner.

Under Uganda’s law, consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. The law generally requires prior consent for collecting or processing personal data, subject to specified exceptions such as legal obligations and contractual necessity.

You may withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, although withdrawing consent does not necessarily affect processing that was lawfully carried out before the withdrawal.

7. Dating Profiles Are Not Guaranteed to Be Genuine

Although Bafumbira Beza may introduce verification, moderation or reporting mechanisms, we cannot guarantee that every person using the Dating Platform is exactly who they claim to be.

Users are responsible for exercising reasonable caution when communicating with people they meet online.

Do not assume that a profile is genuine simply because it appears on Bafumbira.com.

We encourage users to:

• Take time to know someone.
• Use the Platform’s communication tools initially.
• Avoid sending money to people they have met online.
• Never share passwords or financial information.
• Be cautious when sharing personal contact details.
• Report suspicious or abusive profiles.
• Meet in public places when meeting someone for the first time.
• Inform someone they trust about an offline meeting.

8. Messages and Communications

The Platform may provide private messaging or chat functionality.

Where such functionality exists, information associated with your communications may be processed to:

• Deliver messages;
• Maintain the messaging service;
• Prevent spam, abuse and fraud;
• Investigate complaints;
• Protect users and the Platform; and
• Comply with applicable law.

Private does not necessarily mean absolutely inaccessible. We may access, preserve or disclose information where reasonably necessary to investigate serious abuse, fraud, threats, security incidents, violations of our policies, or where required or permitted by law.

We will not intentionally use private dating conversations for unrelated purposes.

9. We Will Not Sell Your Dating Profile

Bafumbira Beza will not sell your personal dating profile or personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

We may, however, use trusted service providers that help us operate Bafumbira.com—for example, hosting providers, email services, security services, payment providers, analytics providers, communication services or technical support providers.

Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we expect them to handle that information only for authorized purposes and with appropriate safeguards.

10. Sharing Information With Other Users

The fundamental purpose of a dating platform is to allow people to discover and communicate with one another.

Therefore, information that you intentionally place in your dating profile may be shared with other Platform users according to the visibility settings of that information.

However, we will not intentionally publish your private contact information simply because you register for the Dating Platform.

You are responsible for information you voluntarily disclose directly to another user.

Once you give another person your telephone number, WhatsApp contact, social-media account, home address or other personal information, Bafumbira Beza cannot control what that person subsequently does with it.

11. Third-Party Services and Hosting

Bafumbira.com may use third-party technologies and service providers to operate the Dating Platform.

These may include:

• Website hosting providers
• WordPress and plugin technologies
• Email services
• Security and anti-spam services
• Payment processors, where applicable
• Analytics services
• Cloud storage or infrastructure providers
• Communication and messaging technologies

Some service providers may process or store information outside Uganda.

Uganda’s Data Protection and Privacy Regulations address processing or storage of personal data outside Uganda and provide conditions concerning adequate protection or consent for such processing or storage.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that third-party processing is appropriately controlled and consistent with applicable data-protection requirements.

12. Cookies and Technical Information

Bafumbira.com may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep you logged into your account;
• Remember your preferences;
• Improve website functionality;
• Protect accounts and prevent abuse;
• Understand how the website is used; and
• Improve Platform performance.

Technical information may include information such as your browser type, device information, IP address, approximate location, operating system and information about how you interact with the website.

Where required, we will provide appropriate choices or notices concerning cookies and similar technologies.

13. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

Users are responsible for protecting their passwords and account credentials and should immediately notify us if they suspect that their account has been compromised.

Uganda’s Data Protection and Privacy Act expressly requires appropriate security safeguards when personal data is collected, processed, held or used.

14. Reporting, Blocking and Moderation

To protect the Dating Platform community, we may allow users to:

• Report profiles;
• Block users;
• Report inappropriate messages;
• Report scams or suspicious activity;
• Report impersonation;
• Report harassment or abuse.

We may review reported information and take appropriate action, including:

• Warning a user;
• Removing content;
• Restricting an account;
• Suspending an account;
• Permanently removing an account; or
• Referring serious matters to appropriate authorities where legally or reasonably necessary.

15. Your Data Protection Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:

• Know what personal information we hold about you;
• Request access to your information;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Request deletion of information where legally appropriate;
• Object to certain processing;
• Withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing; and
• Raise a complaint concerning how your information is handled.

Uganda’s data-protection framework provides rights and mechanisms relating to access, correction and complaints concerning personal data.

To exercise a privacy right, contact us using the contact details provided at the end of this policy.

16. Retention of Your Information

We will retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, for legitimate operational purposes, or where retention is required or permitted by law.

If you delete your Dating Platform account, we will take reasonable steps to remove or deactivate your profile and associated personal information, subject to:

• Legal obligations;
• Legitimate security or fraud-prevention requirements;
• Resolution of disputes;
• Enforcement of our policies; or
• Technical backups that may take a reasonable period to be overwritten.

17. Deleting Your Dating Profile

You may request the deletion or deactivation of your Dating Platform profile.

When your account is deleted, your public dating profile should no longer be available to other users, subject to technical processing time and lawful retention requirements.

Important: deleting your profile does not necessarily delete information that another user may already have copied, downloaded, photographed or otherwise obtained from information you voluntarily shared with them.

18. Children’s Privacy

The Bafumbira Dating Platform is strictly an 18+ service.

We do not intentionally collect personal information from children for the purpose of creating dating profiles.

If you believe a person under 18 has created an account, please report the profile immediately.

19. Changes to This Dating Privacy Policy

We may update this Dating Privacy Policy from time to time as the Platform develops, our technology changes, or applicable legal requirements change.

When significant changes are made, we may provide an appropriate notice through Bafumbira.com or through your account.

The “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy indicates when the policy was most recently revised.

Your Privacy Matters

The Bafumbira Dating Platform is intended to help people build meaningful relationships without requiring them to expose their private lives to an entire WhatsApp group or the wider internet.

We believe that finding a partner should not require giving up your privacy.

Your profile. Your choices. Your privacy. Your relationship journey.
