Privacy notice

This notice explains how the institute handles information from applicants, students, sponsors and website visitors.

Updated 22 September 2026

Sponsor privacy notice

When you contribute, we collect your full name, email address, amount, student-update and reminder preferences, and contribution type. Paystack collects the payment details needed for your chosen method. We keep payment references, transaction IDs, dates, methods, statuses and your sponsorship history for financial records and follow-up. Older contributions may also include a phone number provided on our previous form.

Paystack processes payment on its hosted checkout. We share your contact and contribution details with Paystack to process and identify the payment. We do not collect or store your full card details, card security code or mobile money PIN. Payment records are stored using Cloudflare and are accessible to authorised Reduzer staff for finance and sponsorship operations.

We use your contact details to confirm your contribution, and handle payment-related questions. If you choose student updates, we also introduce the students you support and share their progress. Matching and follow-up are handled manually. If you choose monthly reminders, we use your email to send contribution links; you can reply to stop reminders or student updates. Your latest completed contribution’s choices apply to future sponsorship emails at that email address, including earlier contributions. We save your form details in this browser tab to help you return from checkout. Saved details older than 24 hours are discarded when you return. We do not publish sponsor contact details or student information on the contribution page. Students must consent before an introduction or progress information is shared with a sponsor.

After a confirmed contribution, we create a unique sharing link. The link shows your first name to people who open it. If you contribute through someone else’s link, we record that connection and the sharing channel included in the link. We use this to show the original sponsor a private total of people and contributions received through their links. We do not share referred sponsors’ names, contact details or individual contribution amounts with them. Your payment reference and receipt are not part of the public sharing link.

The retention, service-provider, privacy-rights and contact provisions below also apply to sponsors. We collect website analytics only where you allow statistical cookies; payment works without analytics consent. For questions about your sponsor information, contact [email protected].

1. Who is responsible

Reduzer Technologies Limited, operating as Reduzer Technologies Training Institute, is the data controller for the information covered by this notice.

Location: Nyamarambe, Kisii County, Kenya
Email: [email protected]
Phone: +254 769 267 965

2. Information we collect

The information depends on whether you are browsing the website, applying, paying tuition, sponsoring a student or taking part in the programme.

Identity and contact details, including your name, email, phone number, age confirmation and usual study location.
Application answers about education, work, availability, funding, learning habits and programme readiness.
Technical-readiness information about your laptop, internet, power backup, camera, microphone and study space.
Optional work samples, files and accessibility or support information that you choose to provide.
Admission, payment, attendance, assessment, project, feedback, support and communication records if you enrol.
Website and analytics information where you allow statistical cookies.

3. Why we use the information

Review applications and manage admissions.
Assess schedule, funding, technical and accessibility readiness.
Conduct interviews, assessments and identity checks where required.
Deliver the programme, provide support and track learning progress.
Manage tuition, receipts, authorised sponsor updates and student records.
Protect academic integrity, institute systems, students and staff.
Improve the website, admissions process and programme operations.
Meet legal, accounting and dispute-handling obligations.

We rely on the legal basis appropriate to the activity, including steps requested before a contract, performance of an enrolment agreement, legal obligations, legitimate interests and consent where consent is required. Optional marketing and testimonial use requires separate permission.

4. Form logic and admission decisions

The application form may route an applicant based on answers about age, availability or programme fit. The institute does not make a final admission decision solely through automated processing. Shortlisting and admission decisions include human review.

5. Service providers and storage outside Kenya

We use service providers for forms, hosting, email, communications, analytics, learning systems, payments and institute operations. They may process information only to provide services to the institute and must apply appropriate security and confidentiality controls.

Online applications are currently collected through Tally, which states that form data is stored in Europe. This means application information may be processed outside Kenya. We remain responsible for selecting providers and applying appropriate safeguards.

You can read Tally’s data-processing information.

The institute does not sell applicant or student personal data.

6. Retention

We keep information only for a defined operational, legal or programme-related reason:

Unsuccessful or incomplete applications and optional work samples: up to 12 months after the relevant cohort starts.
General admissions communication where no application is completed: up to 24 months after the last contact.
Enrolment, learning and completion records: up to seven years after the student leaves the programme.
Payment and accounting records: seven years, or longer where Kenyan law requires it.
Accessibility, health or support information: only while it is needed for admissions or support, then securely deleted or reduced to the minimum record that must be retained.

A legal claim, investigation or regulatory obligation may require a longer period. When information is no longer needed, we delete, anonymise or securely archive it.

7. Cookies and analytics

Statistical analytics are activated only where the website receives the required cookie permission. You can change or withdraw that choice through the cookie controls. Declining statistical cookies does not prevent you from reading the site or applying.

8. Security

We use access controls, secure accounts, encryption in transit, restricted staff access and operational procedures intended to protect personal data. No online system can guarantee absolute security, so suspected loss, misuse or unauthorised access should be reported promptly using the contact details above.

9. Your rights

Subject to Kenyan data-protection law, you may ask to access, correct, update, restrict, object to or delete personal data. You may also withdraw consent where processing depends on consent and request information about transfers or service providers.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. You may also lodge a complaint with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.

10. Applicants under 18

The current programme requires students to be at least 18 when it starts. If you are under 18 when completing an application, contact admissions before submitting personal information so that the appropriate guidance can be provided.

11. Questions and updates

Contact the institute using the details in section 1 if you have a privacy question or want to exercise a data-protection right. We may update this notice when our systems, programme or legal obligations change. The effective date at the top will show the current version.
