2. Information we collect
- Account information: name, phone number, email, Google sign-in identifiers, role, and profile details.
- Job and booking information: service category, location, GhanaPost GPS or other location details you provide, schedule, notes, pricing, photos, attachments, and status history.
- Communications: in-app messages, support conversations, reports, dispute submissions, and evidence you choose to provide.

3. How we use personal information

- Analyze service quality and platform performance to improve reliability and user experience.
- Comply with legal obligations, audits, dispute handling, and lawful requests.
4. Legal bases and consent
We process personal data where needed to perform our contract with you, for legitimate platform and security interests, to meet legal obligations, and where applicable based on your consent.
5. How information is shared
- With other users as required for job delivery, including profile, service, and booking details.

6. Data retention
We retain information for as long as necessary to provide services, maintain records, review safety reports, enforce agreements, and meet legal or regulatory requirements. Some job, support, safety, and payment-reference records may be kept after an account deletion request where retention is needed for legal, safety, fraud-prevention, or recordkeeping reasons.
7. Security measures
We use administrative, technical, and operational safeguards designed to protect personal information, including access controls and security practices for our service providers.

- Request correction of inaccurate or outdated information.
- Request deletion or restriction where applicable by law.
- Object to certain processing or request a data portability copy where applicable.

10. Policy updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post revised versions with updated effective dates and may provide additional notice for material changes.
11. Contact and requests
For privacy questions, access requests, correction requests, or deletion requests, sign in and create an in-app support ticket so the request can be tracked with your account. If you cannot access your account, use the public Contact page and choose “Privacy or account request.”
