Yetneh — Privacy Notice

Last updated: June 2026

1. Who controls your data

Yetneh is the data controller for the personal data described here. We process it to run the app and provide the services you ask for. For any privacy question or data request, reach us at privacy@yetneh.com or through the support option in the app; we aim to respond promptly.

2. What we collect

We collect only what we need to run the service:

3. Why we use it, and our lawful basis

Under the Personal Data Protection Proclamation (No. 1321/2024) we rely on:

4. Location tracking

Location deserves special care. GPS tracking is OFF by default and turns on only with your clear, separate consent. Yetneh collects location in the background — even when the app is closed or not in use — only while “Track me” is on, and you can switch it off at any time. You control which circle members may see your location. We share location only with the people and providers needed for what you asked — for example a courier fulfilling your delivery, or a circle member you allow. You must not use tracking to monitor anyone without their consent.

5. Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only as needed to run the service:

6. How long we keep it

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purpose we collected it, or as the law requires — for example transaction records are kept to meet legal and tax obligations. Continuous location history is kept for a limited window unless you choose to retain it, and is deleted or anonymised when no longer needed.

7. How we protect it

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures — including access controls and encryption in transit — to protect your data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No system is perfectly secure, so please also keep your phone, PIN and login details safe.

8. Your rights

Under the Personal Data Protection Proclamation you may:

To exercise any of these, contact us at privacy@yetneh.com or through the in-app support option.

9. Children

Yetneh is intended for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has used the app, please contact us so we can remove their data.

10. Changes to this Notice

We may update this Notice and will make the new version available in the app and on this page. Significant changes that affect your rights will be brought to your attention.

11. Contact and complaints

For any privacy question, data request or complaint, reach us at privacy@yetneh.com or through the support option in the app. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to complain to the supervisory authority responsible for data protection in Ethiopia.

This Notice is a good-faith summary in plain language and is governed by the laws of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, including the Personal Data Protection Proclamation No. 1321/2024. Where that law grants you a right, that right prevails over anything stated here.
