Privacy by design.
People before data.

This Privacy & Data Protection Notice explains how Ngabantu collects, uses, and protects information when you use our workforce platform, mobile apps, and Flutter plugins.

1. Who we are

Ngabantu

Ngabantu is a workforce operating system inspired by Ubuntu, designed for International and global teams. We provide web applications, mobile apps, and enterprise-grade Flutter plugins such as background location and activity recognition.

2. Information we collect

Only what we need to operate the service.

The exact data collected depends on how you use Ngabantu:

👤 Account data – name, email, password hash, company details. 🧾 Usage data – log-ins, feature usage, device & browser metadata. 📍 Operational data – timesheets, HR records, location data and activity states when tracking is explicitly enabled by your organisation. 💳 Billing data – handled via third-party processors such as Paystack.
3. How we use your data

Transparent, purpose-limited processing.

We use data to:

  • Provide and improve the Ngabantu platform and plugins;
  • Secure accounts, detect abuse, and troubleshoot issues;
  • Provide analytics to your organisation (for example: time on site, work locations, fleet analytics);
  • Handle billing, licensing, and customer support.
4. Legal bases

Contract, consent, and legitimate interest.

Depending on your jurisdiction, we process data on one or more of the following bases: performance of a contract with your organisation, your consent (for example, enabling tracking on a mobile device), and our legitimate interest in providing and improving a secure service.

5. Retention & control

You stay in control as far as possible.

We keep data only for as long as necessary to provide the service, comply with law, or resolve disputes. In many cases, your employer or organisation acts as the data controller and we act as a processor on their behalf.

You may contact us or your organisation’s administrator to request access, correction, export, or deletion of personal data, subject to legal and contractual constraints.

6. International transfers

Data residency & cross-border flows.

Ngabantu may use cloud providers and sub-processors located in different countries. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms.

7. Contact & questions

Talk to us.

If you have any questions about this notice or how Ngabantu handles data, please email privacy@ngabantu.com.
