Telekoo Privacy Policy

Introduction

Telekoo ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use the Telekoo app.

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, store, or share any personally identifiable information. Telekoo is designed to facilitate quick access to USSD services provided by banks, telecom providers, and other third-party services — without transmitting any data to our servers.

How Your Information Is Handled

All actions (like accessing USSD codes or using call management tools) are executed directly on your device through system APIs. We do not track, store, or transmit any user data or USSD interaction details.

The app provides features such as mobile card scanning or language preferences, that data is processed locally on your device and never uploaded or shared.

Data Security

While Telekoo does not handle or store personal data, we encourage users to secure their devices and be mindful when entering information via third-party USSD services (e.g., mobile banking).

We are not responsible for data handled by your mobile carrier, bank, or any third-party services you access through the app.

To further protect your privacy, we recommend that you:

• Use strong device passwords or biometric security features (e.g., fingerprint or face recognition).
• Regularly update your operating system and security patches.
• Install apps only from trusted sources such as the Google Play Store.
• Be cautious when clicking on links or entering information in USSD prompts, especially when prompted by unknown services.

Although Telekoo does not store any of your personal data, these precautions help ensure a safe and secure experience when using mobile services.

Third-Party Services

Telekoo may offer quick access to external services such as:

• Banks (via USSD)
• Ethio telecom & Safaricom
• Ride-hailing or national ID platforms

These services operate independently and have their own privacy policies. We advise reviewing their policies before sharing any personal data with them.

Permissions We Request

Telekoo may request the following permissions strictly to provide in-app functionality:

• Phone: To initiate USSD codes, make telecom-related calls, and detect SIM information as needed.
• Camera: To scan mobile recharge cards efficiently and use the flashlight when required.
• Flashlight: Activated during card scanning for better visibility (if available on your device).
• Notifications: To deliver service-related updates or reminders (only if enabled by the user).
• Internet Access: Required for delivering push notifications and checking app updates.

Telekoo uses only the minimum required permissions and does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data from your device. All features gracefully adapt to your phone’s hardware capabilities.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. All changes will be posted in the app and reflected in the latest version.
