Privacy policy

Last Updated: October 2026

TechAble (“we”, “our”, “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled in a safe and responsible manner. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our website and services.

By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Introduction

TechAble is a nonprofit organization dedicated to digital inclusion and accessibility for persons with disabilities across Africa. We collect personal data only when necessary to deliver our services, improve user experience, and fulfill our mission.

If you do not agree with this Policy, please discontinue use of our website and services.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

2.1 Personal Information

You may voluntarily provide us with personal information such as:

• Name
• Email address
• Organization or affiliation
• Any information you submit through contact forms or email communication

2.2 Visit Statistics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits to this website. It does not use cookies, does not build a profile of you and does not follow you to other websites. It records:

• Pages visited and the website you came from
• Browser and device type
• Country
• Your IP address is processed by our hosting and security providers to deliver the site and block abuse. We do not use it to identify you.

2.3 Cookies

We do not use advertising or analytics cookies, and we do not use Google Analytics. This website only stores what it needs to work the way you ask it to:

• A language cookie that remembers which language you chose
• A security cookie from Cloudflare, set when your browser passes a security check
• Your light or dark mode choice, saved in your own browser and never sent to us

Because these are needed for the site to work, we do not show a cookie banner. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though the site may then forget your language.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

• Respond to inquiries and messages
• Provide and improve our services
• Send updates or communications (if you opt in)
• Understand how users interact with our website
• Improve accessibility, content, and user experience
• Maintain website security and prevent misuse

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

We may share your information only in the following cases:

• With service providers who help us operate the website: our hosting provider, Cloudflare (security, content delivery and cookie-free visit statistics), our email delivery service and Paystack (donation payments)
• When required by law or legal processes
• To protect the rights, safety, or security of TechAble and its users

All third-party service providers are expected to handle your data securely and responsibly.

5. Data Storage and Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against:

• Unauthorized access
• Loss, misuse, or alteration
• Disclosure or destruction

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Data Rights

Depending on applicable laws, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent for communications
• Object to certain types of data processing

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details provided below.

7. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal data.

8. Children’s Privacy

TechAble does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that such data has been collected, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.
