About BizInfo Africa
BizInfo Africa provides business intelligence content, industry insights, entrepreneurship resources, podcast content, interviews, business information, market analysis, educational materials, and interactive self-assessment tools relating to business activities in Africa.
Informational Purposes Only
Content published on this website is provided for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing contained on this website constitutes legal, financial, investment, accounting, tax, compliance, due diligence, or professional advice. Users should obtain independent professional advice before making decisions based on information obtained from this website.
Interactive Tools
The website provides interactive calculators and self-assessment tools, including the Business Confidence Index, the Cost of Waiting calculator, and the Financial Health Check. These tools compute results exclusively from information you enter, which is neither verified nor transmitted to us. Outputs are indicative and diagnostic only. They are not a credit rating, a credit score, a probability of default, an approved credit limit, or professional advice of any kind, and must not be relied upon as the basis for any lending, investment, procurement, or other commercial decision. Each tool carries its own methodology note and limitations, which form part of these Terms.
Intellectual Property
All website content, including text, graphics, logos, videos, podcasts, reports, designs, tools, and publications, is owned by or licensed to BizInfo Africa and is protected under applicable intellectual property laws. Users may not reproduce, distribute, modify, republish, or commercially exploit content without prior written permission.

Privacy Policy
Last Updated: July 2026 · Version 1.0
This policy explains what personal data this website collects, why, what happens to it, and the rights you hold under the Data Protection Act, 2019. We work in due diligence for a living. The standard we apply to others applies to us.
The short version
Most of this website collects nothing from you. The calculators and assessment tools run entirely in your browser; the figures you enter are never transmitted to us or stored on our servers. We collect personal data in exactly three situations: when you submit a form, when you subscribe to the newsletter, and, with your consent, through analytics cookies.
What we collect, and why
Inquiry and contact forms. When you submit the Enhanced Business Evaluation inquiry form or the contact form, we collect what you enter: typically your name, business name, email address, phone number, and your message or requirements. We use it for one purpose: to respond to your inquiry and, where you request it, to prepare a quotation. Lawful basis: your consent, given by the checkbox on the form, and the steps necessary to enter into a contract you have requested.
Newsletter. When you subscribe, we collect your email address and use it to send new episodes and articles. Lawful basis: consent. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing takes effect immediately.
Analytics, only with consent. With your consent, given through the cookie banner, we use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used: pages visited, approximate location at city level, device type. If you decline, analytics does not run. We do not use this data to identify individuals, and we do not sell or share it for advertising. See the Cookie Policy below for details.
Comments and interactions. Where the site enables comments on articles, we collect the name and email you provide with the comment.
What we deliberately do not collect
The Business Confidence Index, the Cost of Waiting calculator, the Financial Health Check, and our other interactive tools process everything you enter inside your own browser. Your answers, your financial figures, and your results are not transmitted to us, not stored on our servers, and not visible to us, unless a specific feature asks for your explicit consent to send them (for example, a future option to email your results to yourself or to share them with our team before a consultation; any such feature will state exactly what it sends and to whom, and will do nothing without your active opt-in).
Some tools offer to save your progress. That saving uses your browser’s local storage, on your device only. It never reaches us. You can clear it at any time using the tool’s own clear control or your browser settings.
Who else touches the data
We use a small number of service providers to run this website, each processing data only on our instructions:
- Brevo delivers our transactional and notification email. When a form you submit triggers an email, it passes through Brevo’s infrastructure.
- Google provides analytics (with your consent) and hosts embedded YouTube videos. Embedded media on this site is click-to-load where possible: nothing loads, and no cookies are set, until you press play.
- Safaricom, our hosting provider stores the website and its form submissions.
We do not sell personal data. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing. If we are required to disclose data by law or a competent authority, we will disclose the minimum required.
How long we keep it
Form submissions and inquiry correspondence are retained for as long as needed to handle your inquiry and for a period afterward for record-keeping, after which they are deleted. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained per the retention period configured in Google Analytics. Where you exercise a deletion right, we act on it as described in the Data Subject Rights Procedure below.
Children
This website is directed at business owners and professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Changes to this policy
When we change this policy, we update the version and effective date above. Material changes will be flagged on the site.

Cookie Policy
Last Updated: July 2026
BizInfo Africa uses cookies and similar technologies to run the website, and, with your consent, to understand how it is used. Consent is managed through the banner shown on your first visit, where accepting and declining are equally available. Non-essential cookies are blocked until you consent. You can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer.
Categories
Essential cookies. Required for website functionality and security, including recording your consent choice itself. These do not require consent.
Analytics cookies. Google Analytics, loaded only after you consent. Used to understand aggregate site usage. Declining them does not affect any website feature.
Preference and marketing cookies. Used only where applicable and only with your consent, and listed in the current cookie table.
The current cookie table
A complete, automatically maintained list of the specific cookies in use, their providers, purposes, and durations is available on our cookie declaration page, generated by our consent management system and updated as the site changes.
Local storage used by our tools
Some of our interactive tools, including the Business Confidence Index and the Financial Health Check, offer to save your progress using your browser’s local storage. This is functional storage on your own device. It is never transmitted to us, it is not a tracking technology, and you can remove it at any time using the tool’s clear control or your browser settings.
Managing cookies
You may also modify browser settings to reject or delete cookies. Disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.
