We use cookies to keep the site reliable, remember basic choices, and understand which pages are useful. You can accept, reject, or review the settings before continuing.
How we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our business networking platform.
When you register or interact with our platform, we collect personal data you provide directly: your full name, work email address, phone number, company name, job title, and any messages or files you submit through our communication tools. We also automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type and version, device identifiers, operating system, and usage patterns including pages visited, features used, and session duration. This data helps us maintain platform security, improve performance, and tailor the networking experience to your region and industry.
Your personal data is used to create and manage your account, facilitate connections with other verified business members, enable enterprise collaboration features (shared workspaces, messaging, file exchange), and send service-related notifications. We also use aggregated, anonymized analytics to understand platform adoption across regions and to develop new features. Your email address may be used to send occasional product updates or partnership opportunities, but you can opt out of marketing communications at any time via your account settings or by contacting us directly.
We use essential cookies to maintain session state and authentication. Functional cookies remember your language preference and interface settings. Analytics cookies (from services like Google Analytics) help us measure traffic sources, feature usage, and error rates. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings; disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality. We do not use cookies for cross-site behavioral advertising or third-party retargeting.
We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited data with trusted service providers who process data on our behalf: cloud hosting providers (for server infrastructure), email delivery services (for transactional messages), and analytics platforms (for aggregated usage reports). These processors are contractually bound to protect your data and may not use it for any purpose beyond our instructions. If required by law or in response to a valid legal request, we may disclose your information to regulatory authorities.
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with services. After account closure, we delete or anonymize your data within 90 days, unless legal obligations require longer retention. We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+), encrypted storage, access controls, and regular security audits. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access.
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data held by us. You may request a copy of your data in a portable format. You can withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at info@wafriconnect.com. We will respond within 30 days. If you are located in the EU or UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. This policy is governed by applicable privacy laws including the GDPR and CCPA where relevant.
We do not make false or misleading claims about our services, partnerships, or endorsements. We do not create fake urgency, fake testimonials, or imply official affiliation with any government or regulatory body. All statements about platform capabilities, partner networks, and service outcomes are based on verifiable data and real user feedback. We are committed to transparency in how we operate and how we handle your data.
For privacy-related inquiries, data requests, or complaints, please contact our data protection team at info@wafriconnect.com or by mail at 21 Feil Upper. You may also call us at (07)-3438-1759 during business hours. This policy was last updated on 15 March 2025.
