Privacy Policy for Awase.shop

Last Updated: March 11, 2026

At Awase.shop, we believe in a "Marketplace of Plenty," and that includes a wealth of trust. We are committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about how we collect, use, and share it.

1. Information We Collect

To provide a seamless shopping and selling experience, we collect:

  • Account Information: Name, email address, password, and profile details.

  • Transaction Data: Billing address, shipping address, and order history.

  • Vendor Data: Business name, ID (Passport,  Drivers Liecense and National ID), and payout information.

  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and cookies to improve site functionality.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to cultivate the Awase experience, specifically to:

  • Process and fulfill orders between buyers and vendors.

  • Facilitate communication regarding orders or account updates.

  • Prevent fraudulent activity and ensure marketplace security.

  • Analyze site traffic to improve our "destination of discovery."

3. Data Sharing in a Multivendor Environment

Because Awase is a "gathering" of independent sellers:

  • With Vendors: When a buyer places an order, the relevant vendor receives the buyer’s name and shipping address to fulfill the order. Vendors are contractually obligated to use this data only for fulfillment.

  • Service Providers: We share data with trusted third parties for payment processing (MTN and Orange) and shipping logistics.

  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights of our community.

4. Your Rights and Choices

We believe you should have control over your "digital plenty." You have the right to:

  • Access & Export: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

  • Correction: Update inaccurate or incomplete information in your account settings.

  • Deletion: Request that we delete your account and associated personal data (subject to legal record-keeping requirements).

  • Marketing Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time via the link provided in the footer.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard encryption and security measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and keep your account details private.

6. Cookies and Tracking

Awase.shop uses cookies to remember your preferences (like items in your cart) and to understand how you interact with our platform. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.

7. Changes to This Policy

As our marketplace grows, we may update this policy. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
