1. Who operates ke-visa.com?
ke-visa.com is an independent travel-information and
application-assistance website operated by:
Where applicable, ke-visa.com acts as the organisation
responsible for processing personal information collected
through its own website and assistance services.
2. Information we may collect
The information required depends on the service requested
and the number of travellers included in an application.
Information may include:
- full name;
- email address;
- telephone number;
- date of birth;
- nationality;
- country of residence;
- passport number;
- passport issuing country;
- passport issue and expiry dates;
- planned arrival and departure dates;
- travel purpose;
- accommodation and travel information;
- selected Kenya eTA or travel-assistance service;
- uploaded supporting documents;
- order and application reference numbers;
- payment status and payment method;
- technical information associated with use of the website.
We aim to request information that is relevant to the
requested assistance service rather than collecting
information unnecessarily.
3. How we use personal information
Personal information may be processed to provide and
administer the services requested by the customer,
including:
- checking configured Kenya eTA eligibility rules;
- creating and maintaining an application order;
- organising information for individual travellers;
- reviewing submitted application information;
- identifying documents required for a selected service;
- receiving and organising supporting documents;
- processing payments;
- issuing electronic payment confirmations and invoices;
- communicating with customers about their applications;
- providing secure document-upload access;
- sending reminders where an application remains incomplete;
- answering customer-service enquiries;
- preventing abuse, fraud or security incidents;
- maintaining accounting and transaction records where required.
4. Legal basis for processing
Depending on the circumstances, information may be processed
because it is necessary to provide a service requested by
the customer, comply with applicable legal obligations,
protect legitimate business and security interests, or
because consent has been provided where consent is required.
Where a person provides information about another traveller,
that person should have appropriate authority to provide the
information for the purpose of the application.
5. Passport and supporting documents
Kenya travel applications may require documents such as a
passport bio page, passport-style photograph, accommodation
evidence, travel itinerary, invitation or other supporting
records depending on the service and travel purpose.
Documents uploaded through our application system are
associated with the relevant order and traveller. Access to
submitted documents is restricted to authorised processing
activities and service administration.
Applicants should upload only documents requested for their
application and should not submit unnecessary personal or
confidential information.
6. Payments and payment providers
Payment options available through the service may include
card payments processed through Stripe and payments
facilitated through PayPal.
Payment providers process payment credentials using their
own systems and privacy practices. ke-visa.com does not need
to receive or store a customer's full card number or card
security code when payment details are entered directly
into a payment provider's payment environment.
We may receive payment-related information such as:
- payment provider;
- payment status;
- amount and currency;
- transaction or provider reference;
- payment timestamp.
This information may be retained where necessary for order
administration, accounting, fraud prevention or payment
reconciliation.
7. Applications containing multiple travellers
Our application service may allow a customer to include
multiple travellers within one order.
Information and uploaded documents are organised by
traveller so that each applicant's passport information,
selected service and supporting documentation can be
associated with the correct individual.
The person submitting a group or family application is
responsible for ensuring that the information they provide
is accurate and that they are authorised to provide the
personal information of the other travellers.
8. When information may be shared
Information may be shared only where reasonably necessary
for providing the requested service, maintaining the
website, processing a payment, meeting legal obligations or
protecting the security of the service.
Relevant recipients may include:
- payment processing providers;
- hosting and infrastructure providers;
- email and communications providers;
- authorised service personnel;
- professional advisers where necessary;
- competent authorities where disclosure is legally required.
Personal information is not intended to be sold as a
standalone commercial product.
9. How long information is retained
Personal information is retained only for as long as
reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was
collected, including completing the requested service,
responding to enquiries, maintaining necessary transaction
records and meeting applicable legal obligations.
Different types of information may have different retention
periods. Passport and supporting-document records do not
necessarily need to be retained for the same period as
accounting or transaction records.
Information that is no longer reasonably required may be
deleted, anonymised or securely archived where appropriate.
10. Protecting submitted information
We use administrative and technical measures intended to
reduce the risk of unauthorised access, disclosure,
alteration or loss of information.
Measures used within the application environment may
include:
- HTTPS connections;
- restricted access to application configuration;
- protected storage areas for uploaded files;
- single-use or controlled upload links;
- server-side payment verification;
- input and file validation;
- access controls for internal application files;
- logging of important application events.
No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security,
so users should also take reasonable precautions when
sending information online.
11. Cookies and session information
ke-visa.com may use cookies or similar browser technologies
that are necessary for website functionality, security and
application sessions.
For example, an application session may use a cookie to
maintain secure state while a traveller moves between
application, review, payment and document-upload steps.
Where optional analytics, advertising or other
non-essential technologies are used, applicable consent
requirements should be respected.
12. Your privacy rights
Depending on the law applicable to you, you may have rights
relating to your personal information, including the right
to request:
- access to personal information held about you;
- correction of inaccurate information;
- deletion where applicable;
- restriction of certain processing;
- objection to certain processing;
- portability of information where applicable;
- withdrawal of consent where processing relies on consent.
Some information may need to be retained where retention is
required by law, necessary for resolving a dispute or
required for legitimate accounting, security or compliance
purposes.

13. International processing
Travel services naturally involve users, infrastructure and
service providers that may be located in different
countries.
Where information is transferred or processed outside the
country in which it was originally provided, appropriate
safeguards should be used where required by applicable
privacy law.
14. Children and family applications
Travel applications can include minors travelling with
parents or guardians. Information about a child should be
submitted only by a parent, legal guardian or another
person properly authorised to act for that child.
Our services are not intended for children to purchase or
manage independently without appropriate adult involvement.
15. Third-party websites and services
Our website may reference or interact with services operated
by third parties. Those organisations are responsible for
their own websites, systems and privacy practices.
Users should review the privacy information provided by a
third-party service before supplying personal information
directly to that provider.
16. Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated when our services,
application workflow, technology, service providers or
applicable requirements change.
The version published on this page is the version applicable
to use of the website at that time.
