Privacy

Draft. This is a short summary in plain words. The full privacy policy, following Nigeria's data protection law, comes after the legal check, before Gadabuy takes real money.

What we keep

  • Everyone: your name, phone number, email (if you give it), state and city, gender and date of birth.
  • Sellers also: business name and address, NIN or CAC number, and the bank account for payouts.
  • What you buy and sell, your passes, your wallet history and your chats.
  • Card details are handled by Paystack. Gadabuy never sees or keeps your card number.

Who sees what

  • Other buyers in your group and chats see your first name only. Phone numbers can't be shared in chats.
  • A seller sees the name on each pass for their own listings, to check it at the door.
  • Seller pages show the business name, state, when they joined and their numbers on Gadabuy, never their NIN, CAC number or bank details.
  • Gadabuy's team sees your details to check sellers, answer reports and fix problems. Every change they make is kept in a history.

Why we keep it

  • To sign you in, run your groups and passes, and give money back to your wallet.
  • To show you listings near you.
  • To keep Gadabuy safe: checking sellers, age and Men only / Women only spots, and dealing with reports.

Your choices

  • Change your name, email, state, city and phone number in Account → Personal details.
  • Ask Gadabuy to fix your gender, date of birth or seller details if they're wrong.
