Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2026
Introduction
Amani Crafts ("we", "us", "our") is a small handmade crafts business based in Jinja, Uganda. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you share with us. This policy explains how we handle your data in accordance with the Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019 of Uganda.
What Information We Collect
We collect minimal personal information. When you contact us via WhatsApp, we may receive your phone number, name, and any details you choose to share about your order or inquiry. When you browse this website, our hosting provider processes aggregated, privacy-oriented usage statistics (for example which pages are viewed and how often certain buttons such as WhatsApp links are clicked). This helps us improve the site and is not used to build advertising profiles about you. There are no sign-up forms, user accounts, or payment processing on this site.
Website Analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics, provided by Vercel Inc., which also hosts this site. It measures overall traffic and general usage in the aggregate. It may record events such as page views and anonymous counts of interactions (including WhatsApp contact button clicks) without using that data to identify you for marketing. For more detail on how Vercel handles this data, see https://vercel.com/docs/analytics/privacy-policy
WhatsApp Communication
Our primary communication channel is WhatsApp. When you message us, your conversation is handled through WhatsApp's platform, which is governed by Meta's own privacy policy. We only use the information you share with us to respond to your inquiries, process orders, and provide customer support.
Cookies & Tracking
We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site trackers for personalised ads. We use Vercel Web Analytics for aggregated site statistics in a privacy-oriented way, without third-party advertising networks on this page. Fonts are loaded from Fontshare, which may process standard technical information when those files are delivered.
Third-Party Services
This website is hosted on Vercel, which also provides the analytics described above. Fonts are loaded from Fontshare. These services may process basic technical data (such as your IP address) as part of delivering pages, fonts, or analytics. We do not control all aspects of how these providers handle such data, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Your Rights
Under the Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019 of Uganda, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you. We primarily store identifiable information that you share through WhatsApp; you can ask us to delete your conversation history at any time. Aggregated website analytics are handled by our hosting provider as described in their documentation and are not stored by us as a personal profile about you.
Children's Privacy
Our website and products are not specifically directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Given the simple nature of our business, significant changes are unlikely.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your data, please reach out to us via WhatsApp or Instagram (@Amanicrafts_uganda). We are based in Jinja, Uganda.
