1. Introduction
Hustle Mtaani is a service marketplace that connects clients with local service providers for home services, chef services, househelp services, cleaning, and related tasks. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we store and protect it, and the rights you have over your data. By using Hustle Mtaani you accept the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Personal Information
When you register or use the app we may collect:
Name
Email address
Phone number
Profile photo (optional)
Service and Location
2.2 Location Information
Hustle Mtaani uses two types of location data:
a) Live Pinned Location (Client → Provider)
When a client requests a service, the app collects the client’s real-time pinned location so the selected provider can reach the client and provide accurate service delivery. This pinned location is shared only with the selected provider and is not made public.
b) Current User Location (Displayed in App)
We collect your current location to show your position on the map, surface nearby providers and services, and improve suggestions. This location is used inside the app and is not shared externally unless required for a service request.
2.3 Uploaded Media & Content
Users may upload photos (for service requests) and post reviews or ratings. These are used only for the service you requested and for improving the platform.
2.4 Usage & Analytics Data
We collect analytics, crash reports, and interaction logs to improve performance and stability. Device identifiers and non-personal metadata may also be collected.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use collected data to:
Provide and improve app features
Connect clients with providers
Show accurate locations on maps
Process bookings and manage jobs

Location data is collected only with your explicit permission. You may withdraw location permissions in your device settings, however some features may stop working.
5. Use of Third-Party SDKs
To provide app functionality we use trusted third-party SDKs and services, for example:
Geolocator & Geocoding — location detection and reverse geocoding
Google Maps Flutter — display maps and navigation routes
Image Picker — allow users to upload photos
Google Generative AI — optional AI-powered features
Syncfusion Charts — charts and analytics in-app
These SDKs may process technical data required for their functionality (API calls, device type), but they do not collect personal data beyond what is necessary for the feature. Each third-party provider has its own privacy policy and standards.
6. Data Storage & Security
6.1 Storage
Data is stored on secure cloud-based backends. Stored data includes user profiles, booking details, location, and uploaded media. We do not storepayment card numbers.
6.2 Security Measures
We protect data using HTTPS encryption, token-based authentication, secure password hashing, and limited internal access controls. Although we use strong safeguards, no system is entirely risk-free.
7. Data Sharing
We only share data in limited situations:
7.1 With Service Providers
We share the client’s pinned location, contact information, and job details with the selected provider necessary to deliver the service.
7.2 Third-Party Services
We may share limited data with payment processors, push notification services, analytics, and crash reporting services.
7.3 Legal Requirements
We may disclose information to comply with legal processes or to protect users and the platform (for example in fraud investigations or to respond to court orders).
We never sell personal data to advertisers.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal data while your account is active, as necessary to provide services, or to comply with legal obligations. Location data used during a job is automatically deleted after the service ends. You can request account deletion at any time (see below).
9. Your Rights
You have rights regarding your personal data, including:
