Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

1. Introduction & Scope

Hadinet Africa, LLC ("Hadinet Africa," "we," "us," or "our") values the privacy of its users, visitors, and other stakeholders ("you" or "your"). This Privacy Policy governs the collection, use, disclosure, retention, and protection of Personal Information through our website, platform, smart contracts, and related services (collectively, the "Platform").

This Policy is designed to comply with:

2. Information We Collect

2.1. Personal Information

We may collect:

2.2. Sensitive Information

We do not intentionally collect financial account or health-related data. Any inadvertent data you submit such as income or health information may be incidentally processed but will be managed per applicable law.

2.3. Children

Our Platform is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect such data. If discovered, it will be deleted in compliance with COPPA.

3. Uses of Information

We may use your Personal Information:

4. Sharing & Disclosure

4.1. With Service Providers & Partners

Third-party vendors that support Platform operations (e.g., email, analytics, smart contract auditors) receive only the data necessary to perform their function, under binding confidentiality and security obligations.

4.2. Legal Compliance

Personal Information may be disclosed if required by subpoena, court order, or law enforcement; to defend rights; or to enforce compliance with agreements.

4.3. Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, Personal Information may be transferred. You will be notified and afforded rights to control your information.

4.4. Public Blockchain Data

Any data recorded on-chain via smart contracts is visible on public blockchains and outside our control. This Policy does not apply to such data.

4.5. Zero-Knowledge Architecture

Our zkIdentity system is designed so that personal identity data is never exposed during verification. Verification is performed using zero-knowledge proofs, meaning we can confirm attributes without accessing the underlying data. Raw identity documents are not stored after proof generation.

4.6. End-to-End Encryption

All documents stored in the Document Vault are encrypted end-to-end. Only you hold the keys to decrypt your data. We do not access, read, or analyze your encrypted documents.

5. Choices and Your Rights

5.1. Opt-In/Opt-Out

Where legally required (e.g., CalOPPA), you may opt-in or opt-out of non-essential data collection or sharing.

5.2. Access, Correction, Deletion

You have the right to request review, correction, or deletion of your Personal Information. Submit a request via email (see Section 12). We will respond within 30 days unless otherwise mandated.

5.3. Cookies & Tracking

You may disable cookies or analytics tracking via your browser, though this may affect Platform usability.

6. Data Retention & Security

6.1. Retention Period

We retain Personal Information as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Policy and to meet legal obligations (e.g., tax, anti-fraud, contract).

6.2. Security Measures

We implement technical, administrative, and organizational protections in line with industry standards to protect your data integrity and confidentiality. These include zero-knowledge proof systems, end-to-end encryption, and Trusted Execution Environments (TEE). However, no system is entirely fail-proof — therefore, disclosures due to breach or attack are possible.

7. International Transfers

Hadinet Africa is based in the U.S. Data may be transferred to or accessed in other jurisdictions. You consent to cross-border transfers subject to this Policy.

8. California Residents

Under CalOPPA, residents must be informed of:

9. Wyoming & Federal Requirements

9.1. Public Records & State Disclosure

Personal data collected via state filings may be subject to Wyoming public records laws.

9.2. Sectoral Compliance

While Wyoming lacks a comprehensive consumer data privacy law, we adhere to federal law obligations (e.g., COPPA, GLBA, HIPAA) where applicable.

10. Policy Changes

We may modify this Policy to reflect new legal or operational changes. Revised versions are effective upon posting, and your continued use indicates consent.

11. Third-Party Links & Integrations

Our Platform may link to or integrate third-party services, including identity verification providers and decentralized storage networks. We are not responsible for third-party privacy practices. Review their privacy notices to understand how they handle your data.
