The Bank of Zambia published a privacy policy for its New Banknote Mobile Application, setting out the limited information the app collects and how that information is used, shared, and protected. The policy states that, because the app is mainly informational, data collection is minimal and includes non-personally identifiable usage data such as usage patterns, device type, and operating system, as well as optional contact details provided voluntarily through feedback or enquiries. Information is used to improve the app and respond to users, and personal information is not sold, rented, or shared with third parties except where required by law or to protect the Bank’s security, rights, or property. The policy also notes links to third-party services may be present, that those third parties’ privacy practices are outside the Bank’s responsibility, and that while reasonable security measures are taken, absolute security cannot be guaranteed. Updates may be made from time to time, with changes posted within the app, and continued use treated as acceptance of the revised policy.
