Privacy, in plain language.

Account details such as your name, email and sign-in information; workspace content that organisers add, such as events, members, candidates and uploads; the email and details voters and attendees give when they vote, register or buy; and payment references and amounts. We also receive technical data: your IP address, device and browser type, and approximate location.

Payments are made through Paystack. Your card or bank details are entered with Paystack and are not stored by PadiSpace. We keep the payment reference, amount, fee, status and the email used, so we can issue receipts, confirm tickets and votes, reconcile payouts and process refunds.

To run your account and the events and elections you use; to confirm payments and send receipts, tickets and one-time codes; to pay out and refund correctly; to prevent fraud and abuse, including rate limiting; and to keep the service reliable and improve it.

Security emails, such as sign-in and verification messages, can show the device and approximate location the request came from, so you can spot activity that is not yours. Location is estimated from your IP address and is not precise.

Organisers can see the voter and attendee details collected for their own event or election. We do not sell your personal information. We share it with service providers who help us operate: Paystack for payments, Cloudflare for hosting and delivery, email delivery and file storage providers. We may also disclose it when the law requires or to prevent fraud.

We use cookies and similar storage that are needed to sign you in and keep sessions secure, and to remember simple preferences. We do not use them to sell advertising.

We keep account and workspace data while your account is active. Payment, receipt and payout records are kept as long as needed for accounting, disputes and legal duties. When data is no longer needed we delete it or remove what identifies you.

We use access controls, encrypted connections and monitoring, and limit who can see what. No system is perfectly secure, so tell us quickly if you think your account has been affected. See our security principles.

You can ask to access, correct or delete your personal information, or to stop receiving non-essential emails. Some records, such as payments, may have to be kept. Write to hello@padispace.com and we will respond within a reasonable time. You may also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.

We may update this notice as PadiSpace develops. Material changes will be shown here with a new date. For how fees and refunds work, see Fees and refunds.
