Privacy policy

Last updated 12 October 2026

Umoja wa Wastaafu TANAPA (UWAT) collects only what it needs to run the union and keeps it private.

What we collect

• Your name, phone number, email, place of residence, where you retired and your position.
• Your spouse's name, your next of kin and their phone numbers, and children you record.
• Your national ID number and a photo of your ID card, used to confirm you are a member.
• Photos of the receipts you send, and a record of what you have paid.
• A profile photo, if you add one.

How we use it

• To confirm your membership and keep your record up to date.
• To check your payments and record the months you have paid.
• To contact you, or your next of kin when needed.
• To send you news and notices from the union office.

Who can see it

Only you and authorised officers of the union office. Your national ID number is stored encrypted, and ID card and receipt photos are only shown through short-lived private links. We do not sell or share your information with anyone outside the union, except where the law requires it.

Keeping it safe

Your account is protected by your password. Officers cannot change your personal details. We keep your information for as long as you are a member, and as long afterwards as the union's records require.

Your choices

You can see and update your details in the app at any time. To ask for a copy of your information or for it to be removed, contact the union office.
