Pale uchakataji unapotegemea ridhaa, unaweza kuomba kuiondoa kwa mujibu wa sheria. Kuondoa ridhaa hakufanyi uchakataji uliokuwa halali kabla ya kuondolewa kwake kuwa batili.
17. Kushirikisha Taarifa na Wengine

Taarifa zinaweza kushirikishwa kwa kiwango kinachohitajika na: watoa huduma za SMS/OTP; watoa huduma za hosting au cloud; watoa huduma za malipo pale inapohitajika; watoa huduma za usalama na teknolojia; wakaguzi au washauri wa kitaalamu; mamlaka za Serikali pale sheria inapohitaji; vyombo vya sheria pale kuna msingi halali wa kufanya hivyo.

Taarifa zitahifadhiwa kwa muda unaohitajika kutekeleza madhumuni yaliyokusudiwa, kutimiza wajibu wa kisheria, kutatua migogoro, kuzuia udanganyifu na kutekeleza masharti ya kampuni. Baada ya taarifa kutohitajika tena, zinaweza: kufutwa; kuharibiwa kwa usalama; kufanywa zisitambulike. Baadhi ya kumbukumbu zinaweza kuhifadhiwa kwa muda mrefu zaidi pale sheria au madai halali yanapohitaji.
22. Haki za Wakala Kuhusu Taarifa Zake
Kwa mujibu wa sheria zinazotumika, wakala anaweza kuwa na haki ya: kujulishwa taarifa zinazokusanywa na sababu zake; kuomba kuona taarifa zake; kuomba taarifa zisizo sahihi zirekebishwe; kuomba kufutwa kwa taarifa katika mazingira yanayoruhusiwa; kuomba uchakataji uzuiwe katika mazingira yanayoruhusiwa; kupinga aina fulani za uchakataji; kuomba kuhamisha taarifa pale sheria inaporuhusu; kuondoa ridhaa pale uchakataji unategemea ridhaa; kuomba ufafanuzi kuhusu maamuzi fulani ya kiotomatiki; kuwasilisha malalamiko kuhusu matumizi ya taarifa zake. Baadhi ya haki zinaweza kuwa na mipaka kulingana na wajibu wa kisheria wa Vortex Stay.
23. Kufuta Akaunti
Ombi la kufuta akaunti halimaanishi kwamba taarifa zote zitafutwa mara moja. Vortex Stay inaweza kuendelea kuhifadhi baadhi ya taarifa ikiwa zinahitajika: kutimiza wajibu wa sheria; kuzuia udanganyifu; kutatua mgogoro; kutekeleza mkataba; kuhifadhi kumbukumbu zinazotakiwa kisheria.

25. Taarifa za Watoto
Mpango wa uwakala unakusudiwa kwa watu wenye umri wa miaka 18 au zaidi. Mtu aliye chini ya miaka 18 hatakiwi kujisajili kama wakala kupitia mfumo huu. Ikiwa Vortex Stay itagundua kuwa akaunti imesajiliwa na mtu aliye chini ya umri unaotambulika (miaka 18), inaweza kusimamisha akaunti hiyo na kuchukua hatua zinazotakiwa kuhusu taarifa husika kwa mujibu wa sheria.
26. Cookies na Taarifa za Kiufundi
Website inaweza kutumia cookies au teknolojia zinazofanana kwa madhumuni ya: kuwezesha login/session; kulinda akaunti; kuzuia matumizi mabaya; kuhifadhi preference zinazohitajika; kuboresha utendaji wa website. Cookies zisizo za lazima zitatumika kwa kuzingatia masharti yanayotumika kuhusu taarifa binafsi na ridhaa.
27. Tukio la Kuvuja kwa Taarifa
Endapo kutatokea tukio la usalama linalohusisha taarifa binafsi, Vortex Stay itafanya uchunguzi na kuchukua hatua zinazofaa za kurekebisha tatizo. Pale sheria inapohitaji, taarifa kuhusu tukio zinaweza kutolewa kwa mamlaka husika na/au watu walioathirika.
28. Malalamiko
Wakala anapaswa kwanza kuwasilisha suala linalohusu taarifa binafsi kupitia njia rasmi za mawasiliano za Vortex Stay. Haki hii haizuii mtu kutumia utaratibu mwingine wa malalamiko unaopatikana chini ya sheria za Tanzania, ikiwemo kuwasilisha malalamiko kwa mamlaka yenye dhamana ya ulinzi wa taarifa binafsi. Malalamiko hayo yanaweza kuwasilishwa kupitia mfumo au barua pepe, na Vortex Stay itayapokea na kuyafanyia kazi. Ikiwa hakutokea utatuzi wa changamoto hiyo, wakala anaweza kutumia njia nyingine ya kisheria.
29. Mabadiliko ya Masharti
Vortex Stay inaweza kuboresha masharti haya kutokana na: mabadiliko ya huduma; mabadiliko ya mfumo; mabadiliko ya sheria; mahitaji ya usalama; mabadiliko ya mpango wa mawakala. Mabadiliko muhimu yatawasilishwa kwa njia inayofaa kabla au wakati yanapoanza kutumika. Toleo la sasa la masharti litapatikana kupitia mfumo rasmi wa Vortex Stay.
Endapo kutakuwa na mabadiliko ya kamisheni, hayataponguza au kuathiri kamisheni ambayo tayari imepatikana kutokana na muamala unaostahili (Qualifying Transaction) uliokamilika kabla ya kuanza kutumika kwa mabadiliko hayo.
30. Sheria Inayotumika
Masharti haya yataongozwa na sheria zinazotumika katika Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania. Migogoro itashughulikiwa kwanza kwa njia ya mawasiliano na utatuzi wa ndani pale inapowezekana, bila kuondoa haki yoyote ambayo mhusika anayo chini ya sheria. Iwapo njia ya amani haitapatikana, upande husika unaweza kutumia mahakama yenye mamlaka kwa mujibu wa sheria ili kutatua mgogoro huo.

Information may be shared, to the extent necessary, with: SMS/OTP service providers; hosting or cloud service providers; payment service providers where required; security and technology service providers; auditors or professional advisors; government authorities where required by law; law enforcement bodies where there is a lawful basis to do so.
Service providers given information are expected to use it only for the approved purposes and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
18. Agent Photo
The photo provided during registration may be used to: verify identity; produce the identification card; display Agent ID information; prevent misuse of the identification card by another person; investigate fraud. The photo must not be used for business advertising without a proper basis or the necessary permission.
19. Security of Information
Vortex Stay will take appropriate technical and administrative measures to protect information against: loss; theft; unauthorised alteration; misuse; access by unauthorised persons; accidental deletion; data breaches. These measures may include access controls, authentication, audit logs, encryption where appropriate, backups and security monitoring.
This obligation also applies to the Agent, who must take basic steps to protect their own account, password, OTP and Agent ID.
20. OTP and Account Security
An OTP is confidential. An agent must not: give their OTP to another person; send a screenshot of an OTP; allow another person to use their account; enter an OTP on an unofficial Vortex Stay website. Vortex Stay will never ask an agent to provide their OTP through an insecure channel for ordinary support purposes.
21. Data Retention Period
Information will be retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the intended purposes, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and enforce the company's terms. Once information is no longer needed, it may be: deleted; securely destroyed; rendered unidentifiable. Some records may be retained for a longer period where required by law or legitimate claims.
22. Agent Rights Regarding Their Information
Subject to applicable law, an agent may have the right to: be informed of the information collected and the reasons for it; request to see their information; request correction of inaccurate information; request deletion of information where permitted; request restriction of processing where permitted; object to certain types of processing; request data portability where the law allows; withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; request an explanation regarding certain automated decisions; lodge a complaint regarding the use of their information. Some rights may be limited depending on Vortex Stay's legal obligations.
23. Account Deletion
A request to delete an account does not mean all information will be deleted immediately. Vortex Stay may continue to retain some information where it is needed to: fulfil legal obligations; prevent fraud; resolve a dispute; perform a contract; retain records required by law.
24. Transfer of Information Outside Tanzania
Should information be stored or processed outside Tanzania, Vortex Stay will observe applicable legal requirements regarding the cross-border transfer of personal information and will take the necessary steps to protect that information.
25. Children's Information
The agency programme is intended for persons 18 years of age or older. A person under the age of 18 must not register as an agent through this system. If Vortex Stay discovers that an account was registered by a person under the recognised age (18 years), it may suspend that account and take the necessary action regarding the relevant information in accordance with the law.
26. Cookies and Technical Information
The website may use cookies or similar technologies for the purposes of: enabling login/session functionality; protecting accounts; preventing misuse; storing necessary preferences; improving website performance. Non-essential cookies will be used in accordance with applicable requirements regarding personal information and consent.
27. Data Breach Incident
Should a security incident involving personal information occur, Vortex Stay will investigate and take appropriate corrective action. Where the law requires, information about the incident may be provided to the relevant authorities and/or the affected individuals.
28. Complaints
An agent should first raise any matter concerning personal information through Vortex Stay's official channels of communication. This right does not prevent a person from using any other complaints procedure available under the laws of Tanzania, including lodging a complaint with the authority responsible for personal data protection. Such complaints may be submitted through the system or by email, and Vortex Stay will receive and act on them. If the matter is not resolved, the agent may pursue other legal remedies.
29. Changes to These Terms
Vortex Stay may update these terms due to: changes to services; changes to the system; changes in the law; security requirements; changes to the agency programme. Material changes will be communicated in an appropriate manner before or at the time they take effect. The current version of these terms will be available through the official Vortex Stay system.
Should there be any change to commission terms, it will not reduce or affect commission already earned from a Qualifying Transaction completed before such changes take effect.
30. Governing Law
These terms shall be governed by the laws applicable in the United Republic of Tanzania. Disputes will first be addressed through communication and internal resolution where possible, without removing any right a party has under the law. Where an amicable resolution cannot be reached, the party concerned may bring the matter before a court of competent jurisdiction, in accordance with the law, to resolve the dispute.
