  • If a minor’s details are found, the account will be suspended and the data deleted. A parent or legal guardian can contact [email protected] to request deletion and must provide proof of relationship and identity.

International Data Transfers

Personal data may be stored or processed outside Ghana where technology partners, payment processors, verification providers, and support teams operate, including the EEA, UK, and other jurisdictions. Using the site signifies consent to such international transfers. Partners are required to maintain confidentiality and protect information through contracts, technical safeguards, and recognised transfer mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent measures permitted by law.

  • Essential functions such as security and login.
  • Statistics and analytics to understand usage and improve the site.
  • Behaviour analysis for fraud detection and service optimisation.
  • Personalisation, including remembering preferences and language.
  • Marketing subject to consent and browser settings.

Third-Party Privacy Practices

Personal information may be shared with third parties for the purposes described, including service providers, payment processors, identity verification partners, analytics vendors, dispute resolution bodies, regulators, and law enforcement where required. The website lists key processors and partners; if any partner is not listed, information about the purpose and scope of sharing will be provided as appropriate. Providing personal data is consent to such sharing as outlined and does not limit any contractual or legal basis for the sharing.

Third parties process data under their own privacy notices and are required to maintain confidentiality and use information only for agreed purposes.
