4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption and security measures. We use Supabase for our cloud database, which provides robust security features including encryption at rest and in transit.

For users in African countries, we maintain data processing practices compliant with local data protection laws. Where required by law, we store certain data on servers located within your country or region.

The app's offline-first functionality means your data is primarily stored on your device and synchronized with our cloud servers when an internet connection is available. This ensures you can continue using the app even without constant internet access.

• With service providers who perform services on our behalf
• To comply with legal obligations

For users in African countries, we ensure that any cross-border transfers of personal data comply with applicable data protection laws, including obtaining necessary approvals where required.

6. Mobile Money Integration

Our Service integrates with mobile money services popular in African markets, such as M-PESA, MTN Mobile Money, and Orange Money. When you use these payment methods:

• We collect only the transaction information necessary to process payments
• We do not store your mobile money PIN or other sensitive authentication data
