Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

What we collect

We collect the information you provide directly: your name, username, email address, phone number, account preferences, and the purchase or sale records you generate while using the Platform.

How we use your information

We use your information to operate your account, process payments and payouts, deliver digital products to your email, personalise your marketplace experience, and keep the Platform safe from fraud.

Mobile money details

Your phone number is passed to your mobile money provider only to complete a real transaction you authorise at checkout or withdrawal. We never store your PIN and we never ask for your password.

Payments and payouts

Payment confirmations, order numbers, and payout records are stored to reconcile transactions and resolve disputes. Financial records are retained for the period required by Tanzanian law.

Cookies and local storage

We use cookies and local storage to keep you signed in and to remember your preferences between visits. You can clear these at any time from your browser settings.

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share only what is strictly necessary with payment providers, email delivery services, and hosting providers, all under confidentiality obligations.

Data security

We protect your data with encryption in transit, restricted access controls, and secure storage practices. No system is completely secure, but we work hard to keep your data safe.

Your rights

You may access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time by visiting your account settings or contacting support. Requests are processed within 30 days.
