Data Protection

A verification layer only earns trust if data subjects stay in control. These are the commitments we build the platform around.

Draft — pending review by legal counsel before launch

Consent first

Every verification is tied to a recorded consent — its method and timestamp — captured before any source is queried. No consent, no lookup.

Data minimisation

We request only the fields a given check requires and avoid holding data we don't need. Where a result can be returned without retaining the underlying source data, we do so.

Append-only audit trail

Verifications, consents, and check results are written to an append-only record. We can prove what was checked, for whom, and under what consent — and that record is never quietly altered.

Data residency

Hakiki is built to keep Tanzanian personal data under appropriate control and, where required, within the country. We treat residency as a design constraint, consistent with the Personal Data Protection Act, 2022 and guidance from sector regulators.

Security

  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest.
  • Least-privilege access controls and secret management.
  • Authenticated, revocable API keys for every integration.
  • Logging and monitoring of access to personal data.

Data subject rights

We support our customers in honouring data subject rights — access, correction, deletion, and objection — as set out in our Privacy Policy.

Sub-processors and sources

To complete a verification we exchange the minimum necessary data with the relevant connected source. We maintain records of the sources and processors involved and hold them to appropriate protection standards.
