Who we are
DateAfricaDiamonds.com (“Date Africa Diamonds”, “we”, “us”, “our”) provides an online dating/community platform. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and your rights. Contact: privacy@dateafricadiamonds.com.

Scope
This Policy covers our website, apps, emails, and related services (the “Services”). By using the Services, you acknowledge this Policy.

1) Data we collect

  • Account data: name, username, email, password, age/date of birth, country/city, language, gender.

  • Profile & content: photos, bio, preferences, interests, likes, messages, comments, and anything you choose to share.

  • Usage & device data: IP address, device/browser, pages viewed, referring URLs, approximate location, log data, cookies/local storage.

  • Payments: subscription purchases are processed by providers (e.g., Paystack). We store limited metadata (e.g., last 4 digits, transaction status) for receipts/support.

  • Support: messages to customer support, reports, feedback.

  • Marketing & communications: email preferences and engagement (opens/clicks) via services such as Brevo.

Sensitive data: We don’t require special-category data (e.g., health). If you voluntarily share such data in your profile or messages, you explicitly consent to our processing it to provide the Services. You can delete it any time.

2) How we use your data

  • Safety & moderation: detect/prevent spam, fraud, harassment, fake accounts, and Terms violations.

  • Legal obligation: tax, bookkeeping, law-enforcement requests.

4) Cookies & similar tech

We use cookies/local storage for login, preferences, analytics, and (where used) advertising measurement. Control cookies in your browser and via our Cookie Preferences tool. Some features may not work without cookies.

5) Sharing your data

6) International transfers

Your data may be processed in countries with different laws. Where required, we use safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

We use appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. No system is 100% secure—use strong, unique passwords and be cautious with links and files.
