Privacy Policy
Afropeep (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Afropeep mobile application and related services (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
1. Information we collect
Account and profile information you provide, such as name, email address, phone number, date of birth, photos, bio, preferences, nationality/ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation (if you choose to share it), and other profile details.
Messages and user content, including chats, posts, event content, and other material you create or share.
Location data, if you grant permission, to show nearby people and events and to power discovery features.
Device and usage data, such as device identifiers, app interactions, crash logs, and performance diagnostics (including via providers like Firebase).
Purchase information related to in-app purchases (e.g. Premium or Profile Boost). Payment card details are processed by Apple or Google; we do not receive your full payment card number.
Authentication data when you sign in with phone, email/password, Google, Apple, or other providers. We receive identifiers needed to create and secure your account. We do not receive your social-login password.
2. How we use information
We use information to:
- Provide, operate, personalize, and improve the Service
- Authenticate users and secure accounts
- Enable matching, messaging, communities, and events
- Process purchases and entitlements
- Moderate content and enforce our terms and safety policies
- Communicate with you about the Service
- Analyze usage and fix crashes
- Comply with law and protect rights and safety
We may use aggregated or de-identified data for analytics and product development.
3. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information with:
- Other users, as part of the Service (e.g. profile visibility, messages you send)
- Service providers who help us operate the Service (hosting, analytics, crash reporting, authentication, cloud infrastructure), under appropriate agreements
- Authorities or others when required by law, or to protect rights, safety, or security
- A successor entity in connection with a merger, sale, or reorganization
4. Data retention
We retain information while your account is active and as needed to provide the Service and meet legal obligations. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize associated data according to our retention practices, except where we must keep limited records (e.g. fraud prevention, legal compliance).
5. Your choices and account deletion
You may update profile information in the app. You may delete your account in account settings. You may control location and other permissions in device settings. For privacy requests, email support@afropeep.com.
6. Security
We use industry-standard measures such as encryption in transit, access controls, and secure authentication. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
7. Children’s privacy
The Service is for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 18 where required). If you believe a minor has provided data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
8. International users
We may process information in the United States and other countries where we or our providers operate. By using the Service, you understand your information may be transferred to those locations.
9. Changes
We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version and revise the effective date. Continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the updated Policy.
