Effective Date: January 2026
At Ishaka Market, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal data you share with us.
In short: We only collect what we need to connect you with sellers and keep your account secure. We never sell your data.
1. Information We Collect
- Account Data: Name, email, and phone number when you register via Firebase.
- Profile Info: If you are a seller, we store your location and business contact.
- Chat Logs: Messages sent through our internal inbox are stored securely to allow you to see your history.
- Usage Data: We track "Likes" and "Saved Items" (Cart) locally on your device.
2. How We Use Your Data
We use your information to:
- Facilitate communication between buyers and sellers.
- Personalize your experience (e.g., showing your saved items).
- Improve the security of our platform.
3. Third-Party Services
We use Google Firebase to store your data and handle authentication. Their privacy policy governs how they secure their servers. When you click "WhatsApp Seller," you are using WhatsApp (Meta), which has its own separate privacy policy.
4. Data Control
You have the right to:
- Update your profile information at any time.
- Request the deletion of your account and all associated product listings.
- Clear your "Saved Items" by clearing your browser cache/local storage.
5. Security
We use industry-standard encryption through Firebase to protect your data. However, remember that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
