Browser location is used only when you explicitly choose “Use my location.” Manual location selection remains available.
Limited technical data may be used to prevent abuse, protect accounts and process reports.
When you choose verification, Mwanamboka may process a phone number, official document and optional selfie only for trust, abuse prevention and administrative review. Identity documents are stored outside the public web directory and are accessible only to authorized administrators.
You can manage profile information, contact preferences and cookie preferences through the available interfaces.
You can manage email alerts and notification categories from your account. SMS and push channels are used only when a provider is configured and you have enabled that channel.
If you choose Google, Apple, Facebook or Microsoft to sign in, Mwanamboka receives only the authorized profile information needed to create or sign in to the account, such as the provider identifier, name and email when available. Mwanamboka never receives your Google, Apple, Facebook or Microsoft password.
When the GPT layer is enabled, the question, a short conversation history and the necessary public Mwanamboka context may be sent to the AI provider to generate the answer. Passwords, API keys, private messages and precise GPS coordinates are not included in that context.
