Privacy and transparency

Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information debacat may process when you browse the website or send us a message, why it is used, and the choices available to you.

Last updated: July 2026

1. About debacat

debacat is an independent editorial website that shares general lifestyle content for men in Kenya. Our articles focus on everyday routines, seated work, breaks, home meals, rest, sleep, and practical comfort. The website does not require readers to create an account.

2. Information we may collect

We aim to collect only the information reasonably needed to operate the website and respond to readers. Depending on how you use debacat, this may include:

  • Technical information: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, requested page, access time, referring page, and basic server error data.
  • Contact information: your name, email address, and the content of a message when you voluntarily use the contact form.
  • Security information: limited records used to prevent spam, misuse, automated submissions, or attempts to disrupt the website.
  • Cookie preferences: choices stored by the website or your browser where a preference tool is made available.

3. How we use information

Information may be used to deliver pages, maintain website security, diagnose technical problems, respond to enquiries, improve navigation, understand general website performance, and comply with valid legal obligations. Contact details are not added to a marketing list unless you have clearly agreed to receive such messages.

4. Sensitive information

debacat publishes general wellbeing content and does not provide medical consultations. Please do not send medical records, identification documents, financial details, passwords, or other highly sensitive information through the contact form. We do not intentionally build health profiles from the articles you read.

5. Legal reasons for processing

We process technical information where it is necessary for the legitimate operation and security of the website. We process information submitted through the contact form to take steps requested by you and to answer your enquiry. Where consent is required for a non-essential technology, that technology should be used only after a valid choice has been made.

6. Sharing with service providers

Limited information may be handled by providers that support website hosting, security, email delivery, backups, or technical maintenance. These providers are expected to use the information only for the service they provide and to apply appropriate confidentiality and security measures. We do not sell personal information submitted through debacat.

7. International processing

Some technical service providers may operate infrastructure outside Kenya. Where information is processed in another country, we seek to use providers and arrangements that offer an appropriate level of protection under applicable privacy requirements.

8. Retention

Server and security records are retained only for as long as reasonably needed to maintain reliability, investigate abuse, and meet operational obligations. Contact messages are kept for the time required to answer the enquiry and manage any reasonable follow-up, after which they may be deleted or anonymised unless a longer period is required by law.

9. Your choices and rights

Subject to applicable law, you may ask whether we hold personal information about you and request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection where relevant. You may also withdraw consent for future processing where consent is the basis used. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

10. Security

We use reasonable organisational and technical safeguards designed to protect information against accidental loss, unauthorised access, misuse, or disclosure. No internet transmission or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so readers should avoid sending information that is not needed for the enquiry.

11. External links

Articles may occasionally link to external websites for context or further reading. Those websites operate under their own privacy practices, and debacat is not responsible for how they collect or use information.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, its services, or applicable requirements change. The current version will remain available on this page with a revised update date.

Privacy enquiries: use the contact page and clearly state that your message concerns privacy or personal information.
