protection of customer data. We treat our users’ personal information with the
utmost care—because safeguarding their privacy is central to how we do
business.

excessive or irrelevant information requests.User Consent and

We ensure users are fully informed and give explicit consent before any
data processing.Security Measures:
We employ robust security measures, such as strong encryption, access
controls, and continuous monitoring to protect user information from
unauthorized access and breaches.Data Subject Rights:
We respect and uphold the rights of data subjects, including access,
correction, and erasure of personal data.Ongoing Staff Training:
All employees receive regular training on data privacy and NPC
regulations, embedding a privacy-first mindset across our organization.

Engagement with the NPC

Happycash
not only complies with the law—we actively collaborate with the NPC to
strengthen our policies and ensure we’re ahead of evolving data protection
standards. We conduct regular privacy impact assessments, participate in NPC
consultations, and promptly address any inquiries from the Commission.

Putting

Our
compliance efforts are not just policies on paper. We’ve built privacy into our
