Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 30, 2026
List It Africa is a product of Lartey Research and Management, LLC. This page is public so users can read the policy before registering or logging in.

1. Who we are

List It Africa is a product of Lartey Research and Management, LLC, also referred to as LarteyResearch, we, us, or our. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information when you use List It Africa through our mobile application, website, marketplace, wallet, promotions, messaging, jobs, real estate, dating, and related services.

By using List It Africa, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, you should not use the services.

2. Information we collect

We may collect account information such as name, email address, phone number, country, city, language, platform, login details, verification status, and communication preferences.

We may collect marketplace and listing information, including articles, properties, jobs, prices, images, descriptions, drafts, favorites, promoted items, and contact actions taken by users.

We may collect wallet and payment-related information, including wallet balances, ledger transactions, voucher redemption details, discount code usage, subscription purchases, promotion purchases, dates, amounts, currencies, and fraud-prevention metadata. We do not intend to store full credit card numbers where a regulated payment processor is used.

We may collect identity validation information, including profile identity fields, selfie photo ID, official document images, review decisions, rejection reasons, timestamps, and related audit information.

If you use dating features, we may collect dating profile details, photos, preferences, likes, super-likes, passes, matches, subscription tier, boosts, chats, reports, and safety actions.

We may collect technical information such as IP address, device identifiers, device platform, app version, operating system, push notification tokens, approximate location derived from user selections or network data, logs, cookies, and similar diagnostic data.

3. How we use information

We use information to create and manage accounts, verify users, provide marketplace listings, operate wallets and vouchers, process promotions and subscriptions, show dating profiles, enable messaging, deliver notifications, provide support, prevent fraud, enforce our rules, and improve our services.

We may use listing and interaction information to help users contact listers, measure platform productivity, rank or display content, manage promoted ads, and understand which contact methods or features are useful.

We may use identity, wallet, voucher, device, and IP information to protect users, detect abuse, investigate disputes, satisfy legal obligations, and maintain reliable audit records.

4. Offline mobile data

The mobile app may store certain account-scoped data locally on your device, including marketplace listings, drafts, favorites, wallet display data, profile details, and cached content. This allows the app to remain useful when the network is unavailable.

Local mobile data may remain on a device after sign-out so another user’s cached data is not accidentally deleted. You should use a trusted device, secure it with a passcode, and avoid sharing a device with people who should not see locally cached app content.

5. Sharing and disclosure

We may share information with service providers who help us operate hosting, storage, analytics, payment processing, email, push notifications, fraud prevention, customer support, and security functions. They may use information only as needed to provide services to us.

We may disclose information when required by law, court order, regulatory process, law enforcement request, safety investigation, fraud prevention need, business transfer, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of LarteyResearch, our users, or others.

Public listings, promoted ads, seller information, dating profile content, and user-generated content may be visible to other users or visitors depending on the feature and your choices.

6. Messaging, dating, and user safety

Messages, dating matches, profile interactions, reports, and safety actions may be stored and reviewed where necessary to operate the service, investigate abuse, enforce rules, or comply with law.

You should not share sensitive personal, financial, or security information with other users. We cannot guarantee the conduct of users who contact you outside List It Africa through phone, SMS, email, WhatsApp, Telegram, external links, or other channels.

7. Cookies, analytics, and notifications

The web service may use cookies, sessions, local storage, and similar technologies to keep users signed in, remember preferences, measure performance, protect the service, and improve content.

The mobile app may request push notification permission and store push tokens so we can send account, dating, message, identity validation, wallet, promotion, and safety notifications. You can control notifications through app settings or device settings.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and users are responsible for protecting their password, device, voucher codes, and account access.

If you believe your account, wallet, voucher, or personal information has been compromised, contact support promptly.

9. Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the services, maintain business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, meet legal obligations, and protect legitimate interests.

Some records, such as wallet ledgers, voucher records, identity review audit trails, transaction logs, fraud-prevention records, and legal compliance records, may be retained longer than ordinary profile content.

10. Your choices and rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of certain personal information. Some requests may be limited by legal, security, fraud-prevention, accounting, dispute-resolution, or technical requirements.

You may update many account details in the app or web account settings. Identity-verified information may be locked after submission or approval to protect trust and prevent abuse.

11. Children

List It Africa is not intended for children under 13, and some features, including dating, are intended only for adults who meet the applicable age requirements in their location. We may remove accounts or content if we believe a user is not eligible.

12. International use

List It Africa may be used across countries, and information may be processed or stored in countries other than where you live. Privacy laws may differ between jurisdictions, but we take reasonable steps to protect information as described in this policy.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date will show when the policy was last updated. Continued use of List It Africa after an update means you acknowledge the updated policy.
