Privacy policy

Draft. Register with Ghana's Data Protection Commission (Data Protection Act, 2012, Act 843) and have a lawyer review this before launch.

What we collect

• Your email address, to sign you in.
• Your name and phone number, which you add to ads.
• The ads, photos, shop details and reports you post.
• A one-way hash of your IP address, used only to stop abuse. We don't store raw IP addresses.
• Two security cookies: a random code that tells your browser apart from others on the same mobile network, and a 24-hour pass after you tap "I'm not a robot". They aren't used for ads or tracking.

How we protect it

• We remove location data (GPS) and other hidden information from every photo before it is stored.
• Your phone number is not shown in search results. A buyer sees it only when they ask on your ad, and those requests are limited and logged.
• Only our moderators can see reports and account details needed to keep the site safe.

Who we share it with

We use Supabase to store data and Hostinger to run the website. If photo reading is turned on, photos you choose to read are sent to Anthropic to describe the item. We don't sell your data.

Emails

We email you sign-in codes and updates about your ads and orders. Now and then we may send news about Ghanasi to everyone with an account. Every news email has a link at the bottom to stop them.

TikTok and Instagram auto-post (shops)

If you connect your shop's TikTok or Instagram account, that platform lets us read your basic profile (username and account ID) and your own posts: their captions, photos or cover images, links and dates. We use this only to turn your product posts into ads on your Ghanasi shop. We never post, comment or message on TikTok or Instagram for you, and we don't read your followers, insights or private messages. Your access keys are stored encrypted. You can pause or disconnect at any time from My shop; disconnecting deletes the keys (and, for TikTok, tells TikTok to cancel our access; for Instagram, you can also remove Ghanasi in Instagram › Settings › Apps and websites). Ads already created stay up until you delete them. To have your connection data deleted, disconnect or contact us.

Your choices

You can edit or delete your ads at any time from My account. To delete your account and data, contact us.
