Privacy Policy

Who is responsible for your data

Togeda, including jointogeda.com and about.jointogeda.com, is a product of Alexander Stephen and Co Limited (RC 9263969). We are responsible for the personal data described in this policy.

Our registered address is 36 Dosumu Ayodeji Crescent, Ikorodu, Lagos State, Nigeria. For privacy questions or requests, email asandcolimited@gmail.com.

Data we collect

• Account and profile: your email address, name or handle, age band, authentication identifiers, profile details, interests, and account settings. A phone number is collected only if you choose to provide one through an available sign-in method.
• Content and community activity: communities you join, videos and other posts you submit, captions, comments, reactions, messages, invitations, creator applications, and reports you send us.
• Viewing and device activity: searches, saves, playback events, watch history when enabled, browser and device information, IP address, and security logs. Eligible watch-time activity may also be used to verify member earnings.
• Optional location: the area you choose or device location you share for map visibility. Sharing is off until you enable it.
• Earnings and payouts: eligibility and activity records, video revenue-share terms, referral records, and payment details you provide for an available payout feature.

How and why we use data

We use account, profile, content, and activity data to run Togeda, deliver videos and messages, manage communities, calculate eligible earnings, and respond to requests. This processing is generally needed to provide the service you choose to use.

We use technical and safety data to protect accounts, prevent abuse and manipulated activity, enforce community rules, and investigate reports. We use records required for payments, tax, and compliance to meet legal obligations. Where consent is required, such as optional marketing email or device location access, we ask for it separately and let you withdraw it.

Your interests and activity may help us order or suggest content and communities. Creator applications and reported content may also be reviewed by people. You can contact us if you want information about a decision that significantly affects your account.

Who can see or receive data

Other members may see the profile and content you make visible under your settings and the rules of the communities you join. Community owners and authorised moderators may see submissions and reports they need to review. People in a conversation can see the messages you send them.

We use service providers to help operate Togeda, including identity, hosting, database, video, email, and payment providers. Depending on the feature, these may include Clerk, Vercel, Supabase, Mux, Mailtrap, and Paystack. They receive data only for the services they provide to us. We may also disclose data when required by law or to protect users and the platform. We do not sell personal data.

Some providers may process data outside Nigeria. We handle cross-border transfers in line with applicable data-protection requirements.

Your choices and rights

You can change profile visibility, watch-history, email, and location preferences in your account. Turning off watch history clears its history and stops the related playback-event recording in that feature. A shared device-location pin expires after 15 minutes without an update; turning map visibility off removes the active device location.

You may ask to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal data, object to certain uses, or withdraw consent where we rely on it. Some requests may be limited by legal duties or the rights of other people. Email asandcolimited@gmail.com to make a request. You may also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.

How long we keep data

We keep account, profile, and published content data while your account is active or until you remove it. You can clear watch history in the app. We remove an active device-location pin when you turn visibility off or its short expiry passes. We may keep limited records after deletion or account closure where needed for security, disputes, payment reconciliation, or legal obligations; backups are removed through their normal rotation. Contact us for the retention period applicable to a specific record.

Security, children, and changes

We use access controls and other measures designed to protect personal data, but no online service can promise absolute security. Please protect your sign-in details and tell us if you suspect misuse of your account.

Protected onboarding for people under 18 is not currently open. Earnings features are for eligible adult accounts. If we learn that an ineligible child account was created, we will take appropriate steps to restrict it and handle its data.

We may update this policy as the product or legal requirements change. We will show the new effective date and give additional notice when a material change requires it. Please also read our Terms and Conditions.
