As noted, users of the IremboGov platform who are not logged into their accounts will now have

limited visibility of the application details when using the "Find application” feature.

"It means a user can only see the Application or Bill ID number and the current status of the application. However, a user won't be able to see personal identifiers such as Names and IDs and won't be able to download a certificate or a receipt.”

Users of the IremboGov platform with an account can still access all information related to applications made when logged in through the "My Applications” feature. Irembo agents are still able to assist users with applications and payments.

"The safety and privacy of citizens' personal information are essential, and we want to ensure confidence in using the IremboGov platform. These changes allow us to maintain the highest security and data protection standards.”
