Application and registration details
Application enquiries ask for your name, phone number, email if provided, and your preferred course and branch. Student registration also asks for personal, identification, and address information. WIDE uses the details you submit to respond to your enquiry and support the registration process.
What happens when you submit
Your registration details and passport photo are saved in private storage on WIDE’s hosting account. Only administrators can manage registrations. Keep your private registration link secure: anyone holding it can view that registration. After verified payment, it also allows download of your registration PDF. Admissions confirms enrolment separately.
Academic records and staff accounts
WIDE stores staff account details, password hashes, document PDFs, and an activity log on its hosting account. An administrator grants and revokes staff access. Intake results require an approved staff login. An enabled certificate QR link allows anyone holding that link to view its assigned transcript. Treat transcript and invitation links as private; contact WIDE to withdraw a transcript link or correct a record.
Online payments
Payment references, payer contact information, course details, amounts, and verified payment status are stored for reconciliation. Secure checkout processes payment details on its hosted checkout page. This website does not store card numbers, card security codes, or mobile-money PINs. Ask WIDE about payment corrections, refunds, and record retention.
Your language preference
This website remembers your English or Kiswahili choice in browser storage and an essential language cookie. Switching languages keeps entered form values. Official PDFs, personal names, and document references remain as issued.
WIDE chat assistant
The course guide answers from WIDE’s public information. If AI replies are enabled, your question and up to eight recent conversation messages are sent to OpenAI to generate a reply. The assistant cannot access private records, staff accounts, or payment status. Do not share passwords, NIDA details, payment-card information, or private student documents in chat.
Chat messages remain in this page’s memory until you clear the chat, reload, or leave the page. WIDE does not save chat transcripts in its website database. AI requests ask OpenAI not to store the response; OpenAI’s separate service retention policies still apply. Your question is sent to the AI service only when you submit it while AI mode is enabled.
Device storage and external services
This website does not save form drafts in your browser. It uses no advertising or analytics trackers. Forms, staff access, and chat may use an essential session cookie. Request counters help prevent abuse. Phone, email, maps, YouTube, the online learning portal, and enabled AI replies use separate services with their own privacy practices.
Site visitors
The visitor counter records one visit per browser session and daily totals. It starts when this website is configured. It does not identify individual people and is not an estimate of all historical visitors.
