Privacy Policy
AfricanDesigns collects the minimum data needed to run a marketplace: your account details, your orders, and the messages you exchange with the other side of a transaction.
What we collect
Account data (name, email, country), designer profile content you choose to publish, order and payout records, messages and attachments, and basic technical logs used to keep the service secure.
We never store raw payment card numbers. Card data is handled by the payment provider you pay through.
How we use it
To deliver purchases, process payouts, prevent fraud and abuse, provide support, and send transactional notifications about your orders.
Marketing email is opt-in and can be turned off in your notification settings at any time.
Who can see your data
Buyers and designers see each other's name, profile and messages for orders they share. Private files are only accessible to the customer who purchased them.
We share data with infrastructure, payment and email providers strictly to operate the service, and with authorities where legally required.
Your rights
You can request a copy of your data, correct it, or ask us to delete your account. Some records (invoices, payout history) are retained where law requires.
Contact cagnation@proton.me for any privacy request.
