Tikobaze Organizer Mobile App

Last updated: 26 June 2026

Tikobaze Organizer is the organizer companion app for the Tikobaze events platform. This section explains what the app collects, why, and your choices. It applies in addition to the general Privacy Policy above.

Information we collect

Account information. When you sign in we process your name, email address and, if you add it, your phone number, so we can authenticate you and link you to your events.

Event and ticket data. The app displays data that belongs to your organizer account, including your events, ticket categories, ticket buyers (name, phone number, ticket code) and check-in records. You act as the controller of your attendees' data; we process it on your behalf to provide the service.

Financial information. To pay you out, we process the payout details you add, such as your M-Pesa phone number or bank account name, number and branch, and your wallet and payout history. Payout methods are verified with a one-time code.

Camera. The app uses your device camera only to scan ticket QR codes at check-in. Scanned images are processed on the device and are not stored or uploaded as photos.

Photos. If you choose to upload an event poster or organizer logo, the app accesses the image you select so it can be uploaded to your event. We do not browse or collect your other photos.

Device information. To secure the scanner, we record a device identifier and device name for the devices you register to scan a given event, so you can review and revoke them.

How we use information

  • To authenticate you and keep your account secure
  • To show your events, tickets, attendance and analytics
  • To validate tickets and prevent duplicate or unauthorized entry
  • To calculate earnings and process payouts you request
  • To provide customer support

How information is shared

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with:

  • Service providers that host and operate the platform (our backend and storage provider) under agreements that protect your data
  • Payment and messaging partners as needed to process payouts and send ticket notifications
  • Authorities where required by law

Data retention

We retain account, event and financial records for as long as your account is active and as required for legal, accounting and dispute-resolution purposes. You can request deletion of your account as described below.
