TWR Privacy Policy

Welcome to thewegandareview.org, the website of The Weganda Review (TWR). TWR is a quarterly literary journal produced in Uganda. It is a cultural project of Weganda Foundation Ltd., a not-for-profit company incorporated in 2023. Ugandan laws shall apply in the reading and interpretation of this privacy policy. You consent to the jurisdiction of the Ugandan courts for any dispute which may arise out of this privacy policy.

Commitment

The operators of this website pledge to protect your personal information and keep it confidential to the full extent possible. The operators of this website shall not engage in any activities that violate this privacy policy.

What We Collect

TWR gathers personal information when you sign up and register on this website. In order to remember you, or serve you better, or simply provide the requested service, we collect information when you email us, make a donation, shop or subscribe on this website.

When you subscribe or make a payment on this website, you will be asked to provide your billing information, such as a mobile money phone number or credit/debit card, in addition to other personally identifying information, in order to process the payment via a third-party vendor. Bank card information is only used to process your payment and will not be stored or used for any other purpose.

We endeavour to work with trusted, secure vendors for online financial transactions.

No TWR employee, servant, director, or operator of this website will have access to credit card information provided through this website.

You may access and browse parts of this website without being required to provide personal information.

We strive to secure transmission of your personal information from your computer to our servers through reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures.

However, while we pledge to do everything in our capacity to protect user privacy, no data transmission over the internet can be entirely secure, and therefore we cannot absolutely guarantee the security of your personal information and/or use of this website. There’s always a chance any information that you send may be read by others.

Cookies

We may use cookies to remember you when you visit this website and to keep track of your browsing patterns and those of other users. The goal at all times is to know which aspects of this website are more popular, not to build profiles of users.

It is possible for you to turn off cookies by making changes on your browser. However, switching off cookies may interfere with how you browse this website.

Appropriate Use and Expectations

We may use your personal information, including email and billing addresses, to notify you of events or timelines related to the publication of a TWR issue. We may also use this information to notify you if and when your subscription is about to expire. Any personal information gathered by or supplied to us via this website will be used in accordance with this privacy policy and in accordance with your wishes and expectations.

We will not make the personal information of a registered user available to anyone unless permitted or required to do so by law. We will therefore not sell, rent or provide your personal information, including email addresses, to unauthorised entities or third parties for their independent use without your consent.  We will seek your express permission before we use your personal information for any purpose not disclosed above.

External Links

This website will occasionally link to others with content that may buttress or corroborate information published by TWR. Those websites will have their own privacy policies and we cannot be held responsible for any lapses on their part. You accept to visit any linked websites at your own risk.

Children and Personal Data

This website is intended for adults, or those 18 and above according to Ugandan law. TWR understands the importance of safeguarding the personal data of children, and to that end parents shall be required to regulate information accessed by their children using their accounts.

Changes

We reserve the right to make modifications to this privacy policy at any time without warning. We encourage you to revisit this document from time to time. Your continued use of this website shall be construed to mean that you agree to the policy, whatever it says at any time. Please do not access this website if any elements of this privacy policy are offensive or unacceptable to you.
