Privacy Policy

 

Introduction

Our Privacy Policy explains the what, how and why of the information we collect when you use our websites. It describes the specific ways we use and disclose that information, as well as your options regarding the collection and use of the information collected. Among others, our data protection and processing are in compliance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and laws applicable to the countries where we operate, such as the Rwandan Law No 058/2021 of 13/10/2021 relating to the protection of personal data and privacy.

 

The Basics

Definitions

We’ll start by introducing a few definitions that will help you understand this policy. When we say “we”, “us”, “mHub”, and “mHub Rwanda”, we’re referring to mHub Rwanda Ltd, a Rwandan limited liability company. We are a mental health organization that helps people achieve mental and emotional wellbeing. Through our state-of-the-art solutions, including employee wellbeing programs, counseling services, community wellness programs, and professional training and mentorship opportunities, we deliver high quality services and support you when, where and how you need it (the “Services”). When we say “you”, “Customer” or “Participant”, we’re referring to the person or entity that’s registered with us to use the Services. We offer the Services on our website https://www.mhub-africa.org (the “Website”).

 

Goals

In the simplest terms, we take your privacy seriously. Our Privacy Policy incorporates the following goals:

  • We never sell, rent, share or barter your information, except to comply with law;
  • We never ask you for personal information unless we truly need it;
  • We only store personally identifiable information when required for the ongoing operation and provision of our services; and
  • We never process credit card transactions directly, nor do we store your credit card information.

Collection of Information

Information you provide

When you use the Services, use our “Contact us” form, subscribe to our newsletter, send us an inquiry, send us an email, comment on our blog, or communicate with us in any way, you give us information that we collect. We may collect, among others, basic user information such as your name, physical address, email address, phone number and home institution, as well as details like gender, birth date and other demographic information.

 

Information we collect from your use of the Services

We may get information about how and when you use the Services, store it in log files associated with your account, and link it to other information we collect about you, including but not limited to the following:

  • Transaction information: When you use our Services to make payments, we collect your name and email address, the Service you have chosen and the payment amount. We typically use PayPal as our payment gateway for online payments. To make a payment, you’re redirected to a PayPal website to finish your transaction. PayPal allows you to choose from different payment types, typically debit or credit cards as well as your own PayPal account if you have one. You will be asked to provide personal data to PayPal when making a payment. PayPal is fully compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. We direct you to their privacy policy for further assurance in this area. mHub Rwanda is in no way responsible for the privacy policy and business activities of PayPal, and we do not ask for and/or store any credit card information of yours ourselves.
  • Device information: We may collect device-specific information when you access our Services, including your hardware model, operating system and version, unique device identifiers, mobile network information, and information about the device’s interaction with our Services.
  • Use information: We may collect information about how you use our Services, including your access times, browser types and language, and Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses.

Please note that we do not store any individual data from our cookies; we simply use the information to understand user trends.
  • Cookies: We use cookies to collect information about your use of the website and to assist repeat visitors.

Security

We are committed to the protection of your data. We take reasonable measures, including administrative, technical and physical safeguards, to help protect the information we collect from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. We work with third party service providers such as 1&1, WordPress.org, Antispam Bee, PayPal, Mailchimp or Microsoft to host our Websites, services and software in secure production environments that use firewalls and other technology to reasonably prevent access from outside intruders. Please refer to these third party service providers’ privacy policies for further information about their own data protection policies, environments and activities.
