Privacy notice

MeatSoko SACCO ("we") is the data controller for personal information collected through this website and our membership processes. Our ODPC registration status and any reference number will be added after it is confirmed. Data protection contact: info@meatsokogroup.com.

• Contact details: phone number, email, physical address, county.
• Membership details: member category, business or employer, contribution preferences, next of kin.
• Documents you upload, such as ID images and supporting documents.

• To process your membership application and verify your identity.
• To respond to enquiries and complaints.
• To meet our legal obligations, including record-keeping and anti-money-laundering checks.
• To send you news about the SACCO, only if you have agreed to this.

We share information only where necessary: with identity-verification providers, our IT and hosting providers under written agreements, our auditors, and regulators or authorities where the law requires.

We do not sell your information. We do not share it with MeatSoko Group for marketing. If you are MeatSoko staff saving through payroll check-off, MeatSoko Group receives only the information needed to make the deduction.

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above and as required by law. The SACCO's retention schedule, including the period for unsuccessful applications, will be published before online document collection is enabled.

Online document collection will be enabled only after the SACCO approves a secure storage provider and location. The provider, storage country and any cross-border transfer safeguards will be disclosed before collection begins.

Under the Data Protection Act, 2019, you have the right to:

• be told how your information is used;
• see the information we hold about you;
• ask us to correct or delete information, where the law allows;
• object to or withdraw consent for marketing at any time.

To use these rights, contact us. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.
