We may receive your data from both you and external sources, such as public and private registries and other third parties.

Mainly, we process your personal data to provide our Services and carry out various pre-contractual activities and assessments, conclude the Service contract, fulfill it, and terminate it. For this purpose, we will process information that allows us to identify you, verify the information you provide, and offer you the most appropriate Service.

If you provide us with such contact details, you are required to notify this person that you have provided their details to us.

2. Evaluation of Your Credit History and Scoring of Your Solvency
To provide our Services, there are several assessments we are legally required to carry out, such as evaluations of your solvency, credit history, and source of income. To comply with these requirements, we may process various data which allows us to assess you as a customer, determine your solvency, sources of income, the amount of other liabilities, past liabilities, as well as comply with anti-money laundering requirements.
Please note that once your data is requested from Credit Reference Bureaus (CRB), including Creditinfo Tanzania, it will be processed also in accordance with the privacy policies of these CRBs. Your provided consent will remain valid while you have an active loan with MOGO CREDIT, and it will also apply to future loan applications unless you withdraw it in writing after all your obligations with MOGO CREDIT are fully settled.

We will also disclose your information to third parties to the extent allowed by applicable law, including:

You hereby acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your personal data to countries outside of Tanzania for the purposes set herein.
Video Surveillance
We conduct video surveillance in our client service centers, offices, car dealerships, and other premises where we operate. We process the data based on our legitimate interests to prevent and detect criminal offenses and to protect our property. Video surveillance is active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Data obtained during the video surveillance is retained for up to 90 days. After this period, data is deleted if it is not reasonably required to retain it for other purposes such as investigation of criminal activities or the protection of our or third-party legal rights. When choosing the placement of video surveillance cameras, we have taken into consideration the following aspects:
- Video surveillance area – the cameras record the areas required to achieve the purpose of video surveillance. Other buildings, areas outside the Company's premises and territories are not filmed;
- Video surveillance quality – the cameras are positioned so that the captured image can be used for the intended purpose, the persons seen in the video are identifiable, and the cameras are suitable for the surveillance area;
- Data subject privacy – the cameras do not capture the areas which are designed for private use (for example, lavatories, relaxation areas, etc.).
When Do We Use Profiling and Automated Decision Making?
Profiling is the evaluation of Clients according to certain parameters, such as economic situation, personal preferences, interests, behavior, etc., to classify Clients into one of our pre-defined client categories. Automated decision making is the ability to make decisions by technological, automated means, using the data provided by the Client or the information obtained as a result of profiling.
We may use profiling and make automated decisions to process your application for our Services, assess your creditworthiness and risks, evaluate the ability to provide you with our Services, determine the maximum loan amount, assess and prevent fraud risk, and fulfill our obligation to comply with money laundering and terrorist financing prevention rules.
We use automated individual decision-making in evaluating your creditworthiness. This allows us, for example, to automatically assess and suggest loan offers that are most suitable for your needs. As a result, your loan application may be automatically rejected, or you may be offered a personalized interest rate based on our risk assessment algorithms. We regularly review our algorithms and terms for providing our Services to prevent evaluation errors and inaccuracies. You have the right to request that your application be processed by an individual and not by an automated system, but a secondary evaluation of your application does not guarantee that the result will be different.
Additionally, we may use profiling and automated decision making to offer you a more appropriate Service, personalized marketing and commercial offers, including discounts and special conditions, and carry out customer analysis.
Our profiling and automated decision making is based on:
- Our legal obligation to assess the solvency of Clients and to comply with anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing rules;
- Concluding the Service contract and taking pre-contractual measures, including to ensure a faster and more efficient contracting process;
- Your consent or our legitimate interest in preventing the risk of fraud and providing you with more appropriate solutions, communications, and offers.
How Long Do We Retain Your Personal Data?
We will process your personal data as long as:
- One of the above-mentioned legal bases for data processing exists and there is a purpose for your data processing, for example, the Service agreement you have entered into is in force or your consent to certain data processing is valid;
- We are required by applicable law to retain your personal data;
- There is a need to pursue our legitimate interests, for example, raise and maintain legal claims.
When these conditions end, we will delete or anonymize your data.
