Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
What we collect
Account, business, and KYC identity details, plus transaction and device data — nothing more than we need to run the Service.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties
Your protections
Subject to applicable law, you can always ask us to act on your data.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Personal Information
When you register for a RohoPay account, we collect your name, email address, phone number, business name, and business registration details. If you complete identity verification (KYC), we may collect government-issued identification documents and proof of address.
1.2 Payment Data
When you or your customers process payments through RohoPay, we receive transaction details including amount, currency, payment method, timestamp, and transaction status. We do not store raw card numbers (PAN) or CVV. Card data is captured through PCI DSS-compliant payment processors, and we retain only tokenized references needed for reconciliation and dispute resolution.
1.3 Device and Usage Information
We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service, including IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, pages visited, and actions taken within the dashboard. This information is used for security monitoring, fraud prevention, and improving the Service.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the payment processing Service.
- Process transactions and settle funds to your account.
- Verify your identity and comply with KYC/AML regulations.
- Detect and prevent fraud, unauthorized access, and other harmful activity.
- Send transaction notifications, account updates, and service announcements.
- Analyze usage patterns to improve the Service and developer experience.
- Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests from authorities.
3. Data Sharing
We share information with third parties only as necessary to operate the Service:
- Payment processors — Transaction data is shared with providers (e.g., Flutterwave, Relworx, Iotec) to execute payments. These providers have their own privacy policies governing how they use data.
- Cloud infrastructure — Data is stored on infrastructure providers that maintain industry-standard security certifications.
- Legal requirements — We may disclose information when required by law, regulation, court order, or governmental request.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not share your data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
4. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:
- TLS 1.2+ encryption for all data in transit.
- AES-256 encryption for sensitive data at rest.
- PCI DSS-aligned card handling — we never store raw card numbers or CVV.
- Regular security audits and penetration testing.
- Role-based access controls and audit logging for sensitive operations.
While we take reasonable precautions, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.
5. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. Transaction records are retained for a minimum of seven (7) years to comply with financial regulations and audit requirements. After account closure, we may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., fraud prevention, dispute resolution).
6. Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:
- Access — Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction — Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Deletion — Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements.
- Objection — Object to processing of your personal information for certain purposes.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@rohopay.com. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a notice in the dashboard at least 30 days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
