Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

At Leaftin, your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have over your data. We keep this simple and honest.

The short version: We collect only what we need to run the platform. We never sell your data. You can request deletion of your account and data at any time.

1. What Information We Collect

2. How We Use Your Information

We do not use your data for advertising. We do not sell your data to any third party.

3. How We Store Your Data

Your data is stored securely on Supabase, a cloud database provider with enterprise-grade security. All data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS. Sensitive fields (such as withdrawal PINs) are stored as hashes — meaning even we cannot read them.

Our servers are located in the United States (Supabase). By using Leaftin, you consent to your data being processed there.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

We share the minimum necessary data with these trusted third-party providers:

We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or any other third party beyond what is listed above.

5. Cookies

Leaftin uses minimal cookies required for authentication — specifically to keep you logged in between sessions. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics cookies from third parties.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at support@leaftin.com. We will respond within 14 business days.

7. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain certain records (such as financial transaction records, which we keep for 7 years per Nigerian financial regulations).

8. Children's Privacy

Leaftin is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has created an account, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including:

No system is 100% secure. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it to security@leaftin.com and we will address it immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or an in-app notice. Continued use of Leaftin after changes means you accept the updated policy.
