Compliance
Last updated: October 21, 2026
RumiaRent is owned and operated by Stratnovo. Here is how we approach data protection and payment security today.
1. Data Protection
We operate with Kenya's Data Protection Act, 2019 in mind: we collect only the information needed to run the platform, restrict who can see it by role, and never sell tenant or landlord data to third parties.
2. Payment Security
RumiaRent never holds or moves rent money. Tenants pay the landlord's own M-Pesa paybill or bank account; we only receive the notice that a payment happened. Card payments for RumiaRent subscriptions are handled by Paystack, a PCI-DSS compliant processor, and we never see or store card details.
3. Platform Security
- All traffic to RumiaRent is encrypted in transit (HTTPS).
- Access is role-based: landlords, caretakers, and tenants only see the data their role allows.
- Every account's data is isolated from every other account on the platform.
- Sensitive actions are logged in an audit trail.
