Why do we need permissions on Gwala?

In order to provide additional value and adhere to app store standards, we require your permission to access certain functionalities within the app. When you sign up, we ask for your permission to send you notifications. Notifications are essential for keeping you informed about important activities and events related to your Gwala account. For instance, you will receive notifications when someone joins your group or when a co-admin requests to withdraw funds, requiring your approval. 

While inside the app, we ask your permission to access your contact. This permission helps us to quickly fetch your contacts who are registered on Gwala to make it easier for you to add them to groups, request money from them or send money to them. 

By granting us permission for notifications, you'll stay updated and in control of your Gwala account.
