Jireegna - ጅሬኛ • How member information is handled • Last updated: October 14, 2026

This policy explains how personal information is handled in Jireegna - ጅሬኛ, a membership database used by Prosperity Party Hawassa City. Membership records can reveal a person's political affiliation, which the law treats as sensitive personal data, so we handle them with extra care.

1. Who is responsible

Data controller: Prosperity Party Hawassa City, Prosperity Party Hawassa City, Ethiopia. It decides why and how member data is used.
Data processor: Space Software One Member PLC, Bole Sub-city, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It hosts and maintains the platform and processes data only on the controller's behalf and instructions, under the Personal Data Protection Proclamation No. 1321/2024.

2. Information we process

Membership details: name, phone number, FAN number, profile photo, digital signature, sub-city, region, woreda and kebele, and fields such as ethnicity, education level, age group, leadership status and party responsibility.
Account data: username, a hashed password, two-factor authentication settings, and, if you use "Continue with Google", your name, email address and Google account ID (never your Google password).
Activity data: sign-in attempts (time, IP address, browser), event RSVPs and attendance, forum posts, issue reports and their attachments.
Records entered by administrators, including bulk Excel imports.
Feedback you choose to send through the feedback form, with your username. It is visible only to the platform developer at Space Software, not to administrators.

3. Why it is used

To maintain the membership register and issue ID cards.
To let members and administrators sign in and manage records according to their role.
To organize events, meetings, discussions and issue handling.
To send account, security and event-reminder emails.
To protect the platform, such as lockout after repeated failed sign-ins.

We do not sell personal data and do not use it for advertising.

4. Who can see it

Access is role-based. Members can view and update only their own profile. Administrators can manage the records within their assigned responsibility, which may be limited to a sub-city. Provider staff access data only to run, secure and support the service.

5. Other services involved

Email delivery (SMTP) to send messages on the platform's behalf.
Google, when you choose "Continue with Google", under Google's own privacy policy.

Data may also be disclosed where the law or a competent authority requires it.

6. Storage and security

Data is stored on servers located in Ethiopia. Protections include role-based access, hashed passwords, sign-in lockout, optional two-factor authentication and regular backups. No system is perfectly secure, and members should keep their credentials private.

7. Cookies

We use a session cookie to keep you signed in and cookies for security (request protection). If you tick "remember me", a persistent sign-in cookie is stored on your device for a limited number of days; signing out removes it. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

8. Retention and deletion

Records are kept while the membership register is in use. Records deleted by an administrator are first moved to a recycle bin and can be restored until they are permanently deleted. When the service contract ends, the controller can request an export of its data, after which the processor may delete it from production systems. Backup copies are removed in the normal backup cycle.

9. Your rights

You may ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, to object to or limit its use, or to withdraw consent where consent was the basis. Because Prosperity Party Hawassa City is the controller, send requests to its office or to support@digitalmahder.com, and we will pass them on and help respond. You may also complain to the competent data protection authority in Ethiopia.

10. Changes

We may update this policy and will change the "Last updated" date when we do.
