01Who we are
Seketry is operated from Lagos, Nigeria (“Seketry”, “we”, “us”). We are the data controller for the personal data described in this policy.
This policy explains what we collect when you use the Seketry web app, our WhatsApp number and this website (together, the “Service”), why we collect it, and the choices you have. It is written to meet the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) and the rules of the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC).
02What we collect
Information you give us
- Account details — your email address and, if you add them, your name, business name and phone number.
- Your business records — the sales and expenses you log: amounts, items, dates, categories and any notes, plus the summaries we generate from them.
- WhatsApp messages — if you message our WhatsApp number, your WhatsApp phone number, profile name and the content of the messages you send us, including the replies you use to confirm or edit an entry.
- Support conversations — anything you tell us when you contact us.
Information collected automatically
- Usage and device data — pages and features used, approximate location from your IP address, browser and device type, and error logs.
- Cookies and similar storage — used to keep you signed in, remember preferences and understand how the Service is used. See “Cookies” below.
We don’t ask for your bank login details, card numbers or BVN, and you shouldn’t put them in entries or messages.
03How we use it
- To create and run your account and keep your records available across the web app and WhatsApp.
- To turn plain-language entries (for example “sold 3 gowns 27k”) into structured records, and to show them to you for confirmation before they are saved.
- To calculate totals and profit estimates and write plain-language summaries of your numbers.
- To reply to WhatsApp messages and support requests.
- To keep the Service secure, prevent fraud and abuse, and fix problems.
- To understand how the Service is used and improve it, using aggregated or de-identified data wherever we can.
- To send service messages (such as sign-in links and important changes) and, if you agree, occasional product news. You can opt out of product news at any time.
We do not sell your personal data or your business records, and we don’t use your records for advertising.
04How AI is used
Seketry uses AI models to read your entries and messages and to write summaries. To do this, the text of an entry or message, and the records needed for a summary, are sent to our AI provider, OpenAI, which processes them on our behalf under a data processing agreement.
Our provider may not use your data to train its models, and keeps it only as long as needed to return a result and meet its own security and legal obligations.
AI output can be wrong. That’s why nothing is saved until you confirm it, and why profit figures are labelled as estimates.
05Our legal bases
Under the NDPA we rely on:
- Contract — to provide the Service you signed up for, including storing and processing your records.
- Legitimate interests — to secure and improve the Service and prevent misuse, where those interests aren’t overridden by your rights.
- Consent — for optional product news and non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting what happened before.
- Legal obligation — where the law requires us to keep or disclose information.
07International transfers
Some of our providers store or process data outside Nigeria. When they do, we transfer it only where the NDPA allows — for example to a country with adequate protection, or under contractual safeguards that keep your data protected to the standard Nigerian law requires.
08How long we keep it
We keep your account and records for as long as your account is open, so your history is there when you need it. You can delete individual entries at any time.
If you delete your account, we delete your records and personal data within 30 days, except where we must keep something longer by law or to resolve a dispute. Encrypted backups are overwritten on a rolling basis and are not restored except for disaster recovery.
09Security
We protect your data with encryption in transit and at rest, access controls that limit who on our team can see it, and monitoring for unusual activity. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your personal data, we will notify you and the NDPC as the law requires.
10Your rights
Under the NDPA you can ask us to:
- give you a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
- correct data that is wrong or incomplete;
- delete your data;
- restrict or object to certain processing;
- send your records to you or another service in a common format;
- withdraw consent you have given.
Email hello@seketry.com and we’ll respond within the time the law allows. We may need to confirm your identity first. If you’re unhappy with our response, you can complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.
12Children
Seketry is for people running a business and is not meant for anyone under 18. We don’t knowingly collect data from children; if you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we’ll delete it.
13Changes to this policy
We’ll update this policy when the Service or the law changes. If a change is significant, we’ll tell you by email or in the app before it takes effect. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
