1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Personal information: name, email address, phone number, and country of residence.
  • Financial information: bank account details, mobile money numbers, and transaction history required to process payments and payouts.
  • Account credentials: encrypted passwords and API keys used to access our platform.
  • Usage data: IP address, browser type, device information, and interactions with our services.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To create and manage your account and verify your identity.

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information.

All partners are bound by confidentiality obligations.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest, secure API key management, and strict access controls.
