Privacy policy

1. Our Commitment

Open Data Zambia is committed to transparency. We do not capture data that allows us to identify you individually unless you specifically choose to provide it.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

• We do not require user registration or accounts to access our data.
• We do not log full IP addresses or use tracking cookies for the purpose of identifying individuals.
• We do not sell or trade any user information to third parties.

3. Analytics & Technical Data

To keep the site running efficiently, we collect “de-identified” analytics. This includes:

• Usage Data: Browser type and pages visited to help us see which datasets are most popular.
• Cookies: We may use small “session cookies” to keep the site functional (e.g., remembering your search filters). These do not track you across other websites.
