1. Information we collect

We collect the following types of information from our users:

• Personal Information: Name, profession, phone number, email address, and business location voluntarily submitted during account creation or site interactions.
• Activity Information: Data related to user activity, such as downloads, categories visited, and preferences, to help us better tailor content and recommendations.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used to:

• Personalize your experience on the EthiopiaBIM platform by recommending products, services, and content relevant to your profession.
• Improve our services based on user behavior and feedback.
• Generate aggregate reports (e.g., total number of users in a certain profession, popular categories) without sharing any personally identifiable information.

3. Beta Version Disclaimer: Potential Privacy Issues

As a beta version 2.0, EthiopiaBIM is still undergoing testing and development. While, we aim to fully protect your privacy, the following challenges may arise:

• Technical Glitches: Issues like data processing errors or system downtimes could occur, leading to temporary lapses in privacy protection.
• Limited Staff Support: Due to the limited resources in this phase, response times for addressing privacy concerns or user data issues may be slower than anticipated.
• System Weaknesses: Since the system is being designed to cater for a specific environment, the system might be vulnerable which could lead to unintentional vulnerabilities.

We are working diligently to address these challenges (if any) and improve our systems to ensure your privacy is fully protected in the final version.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal information to third parties. However, we may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable data (e.g. total users per profession or popular downloads categories…etc ) for business insights purposes.

5. Security Measures

While we implement standard security measures to protect your personal information, the beta phase may include risks that we are still addressing. We cannot guarantee absolute data security at this stage, but we are continuously working to strengthen our infrastructure.
