Privacy Policy
At Local Greenz Market, trust extends beyond food. We are committed to protecting your personal information and handling it responsibly in accordance with Kenya's Data Protection Act, 2019.
Draft, pending review and sign-off. Not yet in force.
Who we are
Local Greenz Market Limited (Kileleshwa Business Centre, Suguta Road, Nairobi) is the data controller for the information collected through this site. For any privacy request, contact us at hello@localgreenzmarket.com.
Information we collect
We may collect:
- Name
- Phone number
- Email address
- Delivery address
- Purchase history
- Product preferences
- Communication records
- Website activity
- Wellness programme participation details
Payments are processed by Safaricom through the M-Pesa (Daraja) platform; we receive confirmation of payment but do not store your M-Pesa PIN or full card details.
How we use your information
We use personal information to:
- Process and fulfil orders
- Arrange deliveries
- Respond to enquiries
- Improve customer experience
- Personalise recommendations
- Conduct customer research
- Develop new products and services
- Send relevant communications
- Meet legal and regulatory obligations
To understand how the shop is used we use PostHog, an analytics service hosted in the European Union. We also use Klaviyo, an email marketing service based in the United States. This means some data is processed outside Kenya. Both run only with your consent: we ask on your first visit, and until you accept, neither loads in your browser or sets a cookie. Declining costs you nothing.
If you accept, we also tell Klaviyo when an order you placed has been paid: the items, the amounts and the order number, together with the email address you gave at checkout or on your account, so that our follow-up emails fit what you bought. We never send Klaviyo your phone number. If you join the Greenz Circle newsletter, your email goes to Klaviyo for that purpose, and your paid orders are shared the same way, whatever you chose on your first visit. See our cookie notice for the detail.
