Your privacy

Privacy Policy

How KonofFoods collects, uses, and protects your information across our app and website.

Last updated: July 2026

The short version

The full policy is below. Here's what matters most, in plain terms.

We don't sell your data

Your information is never sold to advertisers or third parties.

Chats stay in the app

Messages are stored securely so you can trade without sharing your phone number.

You can delete everything

Remove your account and all your data at any time, from the app or the web.

KonofFoods (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and website.

01

Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly:

  • Name, username, and email address when you create an account
  • Profile picture and bio information
  • Location data (approximate or precise, with your permission) to show relevant products in your area and help with delivery addresses
  • Product listings, photos, and descriptions you upload
  • Messages you send and receive through in-app chat, including their content and timestamps
  • Order details, delivery addresses, and transaction history
  • Payment and transaction records when protected payments are used, such as amounts, order references, earnings, and platform commission
  • Business listing information (for the Connect feature)

We also collect information automatically:

  • Device identifiers for security and account protection
  • App usage data and feature interactions
  • Crash reports to improve app stability
02

How we use your information

  • To provide and operate the KonofFoods marketplace
  • To facilitate transactions between buyers and sellers
  • To enable in-app chat so users can communicate without sharing personal contact details
  • To process and record orders and payments
  • To send notifications about orders, messages, payments, and account activity
  • To keep the marketplace safe, including detecting fraud and misuse
  • To improve our app features and fix bugs
  • To verify your identity and prevent fraud
  • To comply with legal obligations
03

Safety, moderation & disputes

To keep KonofFoods safe and trusted, we operate moderation and dispute-resolution systems:

  • Messages may be automatically checked for content that attempts to move users off the platform or that violates our terms
  • Where a message is flagged, or a user submits a report, our team may review the relevant conversation, profile, order, or transaction records to investigate
This access is used only to keep users safe, resolve disputes fairly, and enforce our policies. It is never used for advertising or sold to third parties.
04

Information sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in these circumstances:

  • With other users as part of normal marketplace operation (for example, your username and product listings are visible to other users)
  • With Firebase (Google) as our database and authentication provider
  • With payment processors, such as Paystack, when you make or receive payments; these providers handle your payment details securely under their own privacy policies
  • When required by law or to protect our rights
05

Data storage & security

Your data is stored securely using Google Firebase infrastructure with industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest. We use Firebase Authentication for secure account access and Firebase Firestore with access rules that prevent unauthorized access to your data. Payment details are handled securely by our payment provider and are not stored on our own servers.

KonofFoods is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.
