1. Who we are
This privacy policy applies to nakfa.com ("the site", "we", "us"). The site provides live Eritrean Nakfa exchange rates, remittance service information, and flight search links for the Eritrean diaspora community.
If you have any questions or wish to exercise your rights, contact us at: privacy@nakfa.com
2. What data we collect
We do not collect any personal data directly — there is no registration, no login, and no contact form on this site. However, third-party services we use may collect data about your visit as described below.
3. Cookies and tracking technologies
We use the following types of cookies and similar technologies:
| Category | Purpose | Provider |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Stores your cookie consent preference so we do not ask you again | Nakfa.com (localStorage) |
| Analytics | Measures site traffic and usage patterns to help us improve the service | Google Analytics (GA4) |
| Advertising | Displays relevant adverts to help fund the free service | Google AdSense |
We use Google Consent Mode v2. If you decline cookies, analytics and advertising cookies will not be set. Google may still serve non-personalised adverts.
4. Google Analytics (GA4)
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site. With your consent, Google Analytics collects:
- Pages visited and time spent on the site
- Approximate location (country / city level, derived from IP address)
- Device type, browser, and operating system
- Referral source (how you arrived at the site)
IP addresses are anonymised before storage. Data is processed by Google LLC under a Data Processing Agreement. Google may transfer data to servers in the United States. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.
You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. With your consent, Google AdSense may use cookies to show you personalised adverts based on your browsing history. Without consent, non-personalised adverts may still be shown.
Google AdSense is operated by Google LLC. For full details, see Google's Advertising Policies.
You can manage personalised advertising preferences via Google Ad Settings.
6. Affiliate links
Some links on this site (to money transfer services and flight search) are affiliate links. If you click a link and make a purchase or sign up, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Clicking affiliate links does not place any cookies on your device from us. The third-party service you visit will have its own privacy policy.
7. Your rights (UK GDPR & EU GDPR)
Under UK and EU data protection law, you have the right to:
- Withdraw consent at any time (see section 8 below)
- Access any personal data held about you
- Erasure ("right to be forgotten") of your personal data
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests
- Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk
Because we do not collect personal data directly, most requests will need to be directed to Google. We can assist where we have any control over the data.
8. Managing your cookie preferences
You can change your consent choice at any time. Use the button below to reset your preference — the consent banner will reappear on your next page load.
You can also clear cookies for this site directly in your browser settings, or use your browser's private / incognito mode to browse without cookies being stored.
9. Data retention
Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months by default. Your cookie consent preference is stored in your browser's localStorage and is deleted when you clear your browser data or use the reset button above. We do not maintain any server-side record of your preference.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
