Introduction

Golden Effort (“we”, “our”, “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you access our services via the Golden Effort mobile app (“app”) and website (“website”). By using our services, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect certain personal information to provide you with our services:

• Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password.
• Payment Information: When you purchase a book, we collect payment details through a secure payment processor. We do not store your full credit card information but may retain:
  • The last four digits of your card or mobile money number (used as a watermark for protected books).
• Device and Technical Information: We collect non-personal device information such as device model, manufacturer, operating system, and pixel density. This helps us:
  • Optimize app performance and ensure compatibility.
  • Enforce content protection by preventing unauthorized sharing and enabling security features, such as watermarks for specific purchases.
• User Preferences and Interaction Data: We collect information about your preferences, purchase history, and app interactions to tailor content and enhance your experience.

2. Analytics

Currently, Golden Effort does not use any third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics or Firebase Analytics. Should we choose to implement these services in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Golden Effort does not use cookies or any other tracking technologies on its website or app at this time.

4. Data Retention

Golden Effort retains user account information for as long as the user remains active on the app. Users have the option to delete their account directly from the app at any time. Once deleted, all related data will be permanently removed from our systems.

5. User Data Rights

You have the right to access and delete your personal data at any time. If you wish to delete your account or modify your data, you may do so through the app or contact our support team for assistance. Please note, however, that modifying data is currently limited to account deletion and access.

6. Use of Third-Party Services

Golden Effort uses Paystack as its third-party payment processor to facilitate in-app purchases. While Paystack supports various payment methods—such as MasterCard, MTN Mobile Money, Vodafone Cash, AirtelTigo Cash, and Visa—we do not directly handle your payment details.

By making a purchase, you agree to Paystack’s terms and privacy policy, which govern how your payment information is collected, stored, and processed.

7. International Data Transfers

Golden Effort may transfer and process user data internationally in compliance with applicable data protection laws. By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your data to other countries, including those outside your country of residence.

8. Data Security

Golden Effort takes reasonable precautions to protect your personal information. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and while we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

9. Children’s Privacy

Golden Effort does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it as soon as possible. Children under 18 may use the platform only with the consent of a parent or guardian.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed of any updates.
