Data Privacy Statement
Version 1.1 · Last updated 11 November 2026
This statement explains how Hiker Web Masters ("we") collects and protects your personal information when you use this Personal Management System. We aim to handle your data in line with applicable data protection laws, including Uganda's Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019.
1. What we collect
- Account details: your name, email address and a securely hashed password (we cannot read your password).
- Records you enter: income, expenses, tithe payments, savings goals, budgets, recurring items, debts (including the names of the people involved) and appointments (including locations).
- Notification data: if you enable reminders, your device's push subscription details.
- Technical data: a session cookie that keeps you logged in, and the date you accepted our terms.
2. Why we use it
Only to run the service for you: to show your records, calculate totals and tithe, send reminders and password-reset or approval emails, and keep the system secure. We do not use your data for advertising and we do not sell it.
3. Who can see it
- Other users cannot see your records.
- The system administrator can see amounts, dates and categories for maintenance, support and security. Notes, names and appointment details are stored encrypted, but because the server holds the encryption key, the administrator could technically decrypt them. They will not do so or use your data for other purposes.
- Our hosting provider stores the data on its servers, and browser push services (such as Google, Apple or Mozilla) deliver notifications.
- We disclose information only if required by law.
4. Information about other people
If you record debtors, creditors or appointments, you are entering information about other people. Please keep this to what is necessary and accurate.
5. Security
We use encrypted (HTTPS) connections, password hashing and access controls. Sensitive text you enter (notes, names of debtors and creditors, appointment details, pledge and goal names) is encrypted with AES-256 before it is stored. Amounts, dates and categories are stored as ordinary data so that totals and charts work. No system is completely secure, so please choose a strong password and keep it private.
6. Keeping and deleting data
We keep your data while your account is active. You may correct or delete entries yourself, and you can ask us to export or permanently delete your account and all its data by contacting support@hikerwebmaster.com.
7. Your rights
You may ask to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, and to withdraw your consent at any time (which may mean we can no longer provide the service). Contact support@hikerwebmaster.com.
8. Children
This service is intended for adults. Do not register if you are under 18 without a parent or guardian's permission.
9. Changes
If we change this statement we will update the version and date above, and may ask you to accept it again.
