Privacy Policy

Last updated September 17, 2026

soberlife.rw (“we,” “us,” “our”) runs a community-built guide to alcohol-free spots, events, and crews in Kigali. This policy explains what information we collect when you use the site, why we collect it, and the choices you have.

Information you give us

If you submit a spot, event, or crew, or reach out to join a WhatsApp channel, you may share details like a name, WhatsApp number, or details about the place or event you’re listing. We only use this to review and publish the submission, or to add you to the community channel you asked to join.

Information collected automatically

We use Vercel Analytics to understand how people use the site — things like page views, general location (city or country level), device type, and referring site. This data is aggregated and is not used to build a profile of you individually. We don’t sell your data, and we don’t run ad-tracking pixels.

See our Cookie Policy for more on what gets stored in your browser.

How we use information

  • To publish and maintain community submissions (spots, events, crews)
  • To connect you with the WhatsApp channels you choose to join
  • To understand aggregate site usage and improve the experience
  • To respond if you contact us

Third parties

We link out to third-party services we don’t control, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and Buy Me a Coffee. Anything you share on those platforms is governed by their own privacy policies, not this one.

Data retention

We keep submitted content for as long as it’s useful to the community, or until you ask us to remove it. Aggregate analytics data is retained by Vercel per their standard retention windows.

Your choices

You can ask us to update or remove a submission at any time. You can also decline non-essential cookies from the cookie banner, or clear your browser’s local storage to reset your preference.

Children

soberlife.rw isn’t directed at children, and we don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page.
