We value your trust and are committed to safeguarding your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws and Google Play privacy standards. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you access or use our application (“App”) and related services. By downloading, registering, or using JJCash, you confirm that you have carefully read and agreed to this Privacy Policy.

To deliver and improve our financial services, we may collect and process the following categories of data, with your explicit consent:

A. Personal Information You Provide

  • Full name, gender, and date of birth
  • Identification details (such as National ID, voter card, or equivalent)
  • Contact details: mobile number, email address, and residential address
  • Employment, income, and educational information
  • Emergency contact details (name, number, and relationship)
  • Banking or mobile wallet account information used for loan disbursement and repayment

B. Device Information

We collect limited technical information to ensure secure and reliable operation of the App, including:

  • Device model, manufacturer, operating system, and version
  • RAM and storage capacity
  • SIM-related data (network operator, MNC/MCC codes, and roaming status)
  • Network type, Wi-Fi connection status, and IP address
  • Unique identifiers (e.g., Android SSAID or similar non-permanent IDs)

C. SMS Data

With your consent, we may access a filtered set of SMS messages on your device to identify financial-related messages from banks, mobile money providers, merchants, or payment systems.

This information helps verify your financial activity, assess creditworthiness, and prevent fraud.

We do not read, store, or use unrelated personal messages.

D. Contact Information

You may voluntarily provide selected emergency contacts during your loan application.

We access only the contacts you choose — not your full contact list — and use them solely for identity verification or credit risk analysis.

E. Installed Applications

We may collect metadata (application names and package identifiers) of installed apps to detect potential fraud, confirm device integrity, and enhance risk assessment accuracy.

We do not access personal data within those applications.

F. Camera Access

We may request access to your device's camera so that you can capture identification documents or proof of income when required.

Captured images are used solely for verification purposes and will not be shared without your consent.

G. Location Data (Approximate Only)

We may access your device's approximate location (for example, via network information or IP address) to verify user activity, prevent fraud, and offer localized services.

Location information is used only while the App is actively in use.

2. Purpose of Data Use

The data we collect is used strictly for lawful and essential business purposes, including to:

  • Verify your identity and prevent identity fraud
  • Assess creditworthiness and loan eligibility
  • Process loan applications, disbursements, and repayments
  • Improve risk modeling and service performance
  • Provide customer support and account-related communication
  • Conduct compliance checks under anti-money laundering (AML) regulations
  • Analyze usage patterns to enhance the App's features and user experience

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data to any third party.

Your information may only be shared under the following conditions:

  • Authorized Service Providers: We work with verified partners who provide data hosting, analytics, identity verification, or payment services. They are contractually obligated to handle your data securely and in compliance with this Privacy Policy.
  • Legal and Regulatory Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, government order, or judicial process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of JJCash and its users.
  • Credit Reference and Verification Partners: Where applicable, we may share necessary information with licensed credit bureaus or verification agencies for lawful credit assessment and anti-fraud purposes.

4. Data Security

We implement advanced security technologies and strict internal controls to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

These measures include:

  • 128-bit SSL encryption during transmission
  • Secure HTTPS communication

5. Data Retention and Management

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by applicable laws.

Once the retention period expires, data will be securely deleted or anonymized.

Your information may be processed on secure servers located outside your country of residence for operational efficiency.

All transfers comply with international data protection principles ensuring adequate security and confidentiality.
