Beta Software Disclaimer

Geliana Timetables is currently in beta. As such, absolute safety and security of your data cannot be fully guaranteed. While we implement industry-standard security measures and follow best practices, the software is still under active development.

By using this software, you acknowledge and accept these risks. We recommend not storing highly sensitive or mission-critical data until the software reaches stable release.

Your Privacy is Our Top Priority

At Geliana, we believe your timetabling data should be as secure as a Kenyan bank vault. Here's exactly how we protect your information and respect your privacy.

The Bottom Line (TL;DR)

We never sell your data. Ever. Not even for a million shillings.

Your timetables stay on your device unless you choose cloud storage.

Cloud data is encrypted with military-grade security.

You control who sees what with granular permissions.

Delete your data anytime, no questions asked.

Kenya Data Protection Act compliant.
