Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy outlines how Omvera ("we", "our", or "us"), hosted at omvera.digital, collects, processes, and protects your personal data. We are dedicated to maintaining transparent practices in accordance with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) of Kenya under the regulations of the Data Privacy Act (DPA 2019).

We collect your personal information solely to provide news delivery, support our editorial features, allow direct content delivery, and fulfill our legal obligations.

We collect direct data when you sign up for our services or contact our editorial desk via email:

Analytical Tracking Metrics: Connection timestamps, IP addresses, localized country coordinates, operating system versions, and unique tracking cookies.
Consents Records: User selection inputs gathered through the Google Consent Mode v2 dashboard.

3. Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing Data

Our data processing operations are categorized in the table below, indicating the specific legal ground for each activity under Section 28 of the Kenya Data Protection Act:
