PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION POLICY

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIGITAL TRUST

Business Tokri is built on the principle that meaningful enterprise visibility must be supported by trust, transparency and responsible digital governance. As a video-first enterprise visibility and growth platform, we recognise that the credibility of our ecosystem depends not only on how businesses are presented and discovered, but also on how responsibly personal data is collected, used, protected and shared.

We are committed to respecting the privacy, dignity and lawful rights of every individual whose personal data forms part of the Business Tokri ecosystem.

Our approach is guided by lawful processing, transparency, accountability, data security and responsible innovation. We seek to maintain a clear distinction between information authorised for public visibility and information entrusted to us for private, administrative, contractual or service-related purposes.
