Privacy Policy

Effective date: 1 January 2026 · Compliant with the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019.

1. Who We Are

Ranking Kenya (rankingkenya.co.ke) is an independent business review platform based in Nairobi, Kenya. For privacy matters, contact info@rankingkenya.co.ke.

2. Data We Collect

  • Contact form data — name, email, phone number and your message, used solely to respond to your enquiry.
  • Analytics data — we use Google Analytics to understand aggregate site usage (pages visited, device type, approximate location). This data is pseudonymous; we do not use it to identify individuals.
  • Technical logs — our servers record standard access logs (IP address, user agent, requested URL) for security and troubleshooting.

3. What We Don't Do

  • We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data — to anyone.
  • We do not require an account or registration to read our content.
  • We do not send marketing email unless you explicitly ask to hear from us.

4. Cookies

We use a small number of cookies: session cookies necessary for site features to work, and Google Analytics cookies for aggregate usage measurement. You can block cookies in your browser settings; the site will continue to work.

5. Data Retention

Contact enquiries are kept only as long as needed to handle your request and for reasonable record-keeping. Server logs rotate automatically. Analytics data is retained per Google Analytics' standard retention controls.

6. Your Rights

Under the Data Protection Act, 2019, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data we hold about you. Email info@rankingkenya.co.ke and we will respond within 14 days.

7. Data About Businesses

Our editorial content covers businesses, not private individuals. Where a professional (e.g., a named advocate or doctor) appears in a ranking, the information published is drawn from public professional records and is in the public interest. Professionals may use the dispute process in our Review Guidelines.

8. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time; the effective date above reflects the latest revision.
