In operating the MATCHA platform, Velocity Africa Limited may transfer your personal data outside Nigeria to third-party service providers who support the delivery of our services. These transfers are necessary to provide core features of the MATCHA application, including push notifications, cloud storage, and authentication.
The categories of international recipients and the purpose of each transfer are as follows:
Where we transfer your personal data outside Nigeria, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place consistent with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, including by only transferring data to recipients in jurisdictions that provide adequate protection, or by implementing standard contractual protections. We do not sell your personal data to any third party.
We do not sell your personal data. We share information only in the following circumstances:
Your public profile — name, photo, skill level, location (city/area only), and match stats — is visible to other users within communities you join. Your phone number and email are never displayed to other users.
All providers are contractually required to protect your data and may not use it for their own purposes.
We may disclose your information if required by Nigerian law, a court order, or a legitimate request from a law enforcement authority.
If Velocity Africa Limited is acquired or restructured, your data may transfer to the successor entity. You will be notified in advance.
Your data is stored on secure cloud servers. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures including:
| Right | What it means |
|---|---|
| Access | Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you |
| Correction | Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data |
| Deletion | Request deletion of your personal data |
| Restriction | Ask us to limit how we process your data in certain circumstances |
| Objection | Object to processing based on our legitimate interests |
| Portability | Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format |
| Withdraw consent | Withdraw location access or marketing consent at any time |
MATCHA is not intended for persons under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16. If we become aware of this, we will delete the data promptly. Please contact us immediately if you are aware of this occurring.
MATCHA sends push notifications for match invites, reminders, result prompts, and community activity. Manage notification preferences in the MATCHA app under Settings → Notifications, or disable all notifications via your device settings at any time.
The MATCHA app may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Review their privacy policies before sharing personal information.
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via push notification or in-app banner. The "Effective Date" at the top will always reflect the latest version. Continued use of MATCHA after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
