Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

We may collect information you provide directly when you create an account, register as a vendor, complete verification steps, contact support, subscribe to updates, or interact with our services. This may include your name, email address, phone number, business details, storefront information, and account credentials.

For vendor verification and compliance purposes, we may also collect identity and business verification materials, including documentation associated with company registration, beneficial ownership, and government-issued identification records such as CAC or NIN information where applicable. We may additionally collect transaction, messaging, device, and usage data generated through your use of the platform.

Payment-related information may be processed in connection with subscriptions, promotions, and other platform services. Sensitive payment details are typically handled by authorized payment providers, although we may receive limited transaction metadata, billing references, status updates, and fraud-prevention signals.

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the platform; create and administer accounts; verify vendor identity and business legitimacy; process purchases, promotions, and billing events; facilitate communication between platform participants; and respond to support requests or legal inquiries.

We may also use information to detect fraud, enforce our policies, investigate misuse, personalize product experiences, analyze platform performance, and send important service notices. Where permitted by applicable law, we may send product updates or marketing communications, subject to available opt-out controls.

Data Sharing

We may share information with service providers, infrastructure partners, payment processors, analytics providers, identity verification vendors, legal advisers, and other third parties that support the operation of Global WebStores. These parties are permitted to use the information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf, subject to contractual or legal safeguards.

We may also disclose information where required to comply with law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or lawful governmental request; to protect our rights, customers, or the public; to investigate fraud or abuse; or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or transfer of business assets.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep users signed in, remember preferences, measure traffic, improve performance, and understand how the platform is used. Depending on your location, you may be able to control certain cookie settings through your browser or device preferences.

Your Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, update, delete, restrict, or object to certain uses of your personal information. You may also have the right to request a copy of certain information in a portable format and to withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests, and we may retain information where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, or enforce our agreements.
