Privacy Policy

We may collect the following information:

• Contact form submissions: Name, email address, and any message you send us via our contact form
• Listing enquiries: If you initiate a WhatsApp connection, we may log the listing title and timestamp for analytics
• Vendor applications: Business name, category, location, WhatsApp number, and any images submitted via our onboarding form
• Usage data: Anonymous analytics data such as pages visited, time on site, and device type (no personally identifiable information)

We use collected information to:

• Respond to enquiries sent through our contact form
• Process vendor listing applications and manage listings
• Improve the platform experience based on anonymous usage analytics
• Send platform updates to vendors who have listed with us (you can opt out at any time)

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

When you tap "Chat on WhatsApp," you are leaving Visit Akure and communicating directly with a vendor via WhatsApp (a third-party service operated by Meta Platforms, Inc.). Visit Akure is not responsible for data processed by WhatsApp. Please review WhatsApp's own Privacy Policy for details.

Visit Akure may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to understand how visitors use our platform. This helps us improve the user experience. No personally identifiable information is collected through cookies.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect some platform features.

Any personal data you submit is stored securely and accessible only to authorised Visit Akure team members. We take reasonable technical measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.

However, no internet transmission is completely secure. By using our platform, you accept this inherent risk.

We retain vendor listing data for as long as the listing is active on the platform. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

You have the right to:

• Request access to any personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Opt out of any marketing communications

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@visitakure.com.

Our platform may contain links to third-party websites or services (e.g., vendor websites, WhatsApp). Visit Akure is not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties.

Visit Akure is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us immediately.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will display the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
