What is ZORO?
ZORO (Short for Zone of Online Retail Opportunities) is an e-commerce platform where business owners, retailers and shoppers get to meet interact and exchange goods and services.
At ZORO, we care about the security and privacy of your personal information
COLLECTING AND USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA
The following are personal user data types that we collect.
Username,
email address,
phone number,
district,
address,
Profile picture,
password.
All of the above data is collected to identify the user who is going to be interacting with the rest of the users as either a seller or buyer. Note that passwords are treated as confidential and can not be accessed by any other user on ZORO, not even the admin team on their backend.
The rest of the user data types like username, email address, phone number, district and profile photo can be accessed by anyone who signs up on the app if they choose to do so, this is intended to allow all users know exactly who they are dealing with.
The messages which you send to other users while interacting are end to end encrypted, this means that only the sender of the message and the receiver are the only ones who have access to that message, not even the ZORO admin team.
USER LOCATION
Note that as ZORO, the only user location that we collect is the District and the address which you provide to us through our input forms. We do not have access to your exact or approximate location and we don't pin point it through your device's GPS location provider.
TRANSACTIONS AND COLLECTION OF PAYMENTS
At ZORO, we use Flutterwave as a third party payment gateway that allows users to deposit funds on their accounts. Note that we do not handle transactions of money between users(sellers and buyers). Any monetary transaction that is carried out by users after a mutual understanding is carried out off of ZORO, and we are not responsible for that.
DATA SHARING WITH THIRD PARTIES
When you choose to deposit funds on you account, your email address and phone number are shared with flutterwave which handles the deposit process.
PERMISSIONS
Our application requires permission to access your local file storage and camera, this is intended to allow users upload or take pictures of items they want to upload to our platform (Or if you just want to upload or take a selfie of your profile picture)
Children's privacy
Our app does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not collect any personal information from children through our application.
We may update our privacy policy from time to time, we will notify you of any changes by posting a new privacy policy on this site
