Privacy Policy

Check It (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a retail discovery and inventory platform that connects shoppers with physical stores in their local area across Nigeria. We provide two services through one account: a Shopper experience for finding products and a Store Owner experience for managing inventory and branches.

From all users

• Full name, email address, and password (encrypted) used to create your account.
• Account preference (shopper or store owner) chosen at sign-up.
• Device and usage data, such as approximate location, browser type, and how you interact with the app.

From shoppers

• Saved products and stores you bookmark.
• Search queries and filter preferences (zones, categories) used to improve results.
• Notification preferences for stock alerts.

From store owners

• Store name, logo, business categories, and contact details you publish.
• Branch addresses, coordinates, and operating hours.
• Product listings, including names, prices, photos, and inventory levels.
• Subscription and billing information processed by our payment partner (Paystack). We do not store your full card details — payment data is handled securely by Paystack.

• To create and manage your account and authenticate your identity.
• To show shoppers real-time product availability at nearby branches.
• To let store owners manage inventory, branches, and subscriptions.
• To send notifications about stock status, saved items, and account activity.
• To process subscription payments and manage billing.
• To moderate content, enforce our Terms, and keep the platform safe.
• To improve our services, fix bugs, and develop new features.
• To comply with legal obligations under Nigerian law.

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only in these circumstances:

• Public listings: Store names, logos, branch locations, products, prices, and stock status are visible to all shoppers — that is the core purpose of Check It.
• Service providers: Paystack processes payments; our hosting and database providers store data securely. Each provider is bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Legal compliance: If required by law, court order, or government request under Nigerian regulations, we may disclose information.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, data may transfer to the successor entity under the same protections.

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encrypted passwords, row-level security on our database, and restricted access controls. Payment information is never stored on our servers. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

We keep your account data for as long as your account is active. If a store subscription lapses or is cancelled, we retain the store account and data but restrict access to management features. You may request deletion of your account at any time, after which we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your account and associated data.
• Withdraw consent for notifications at any time from your profile settings.
• Export your data in a portable format.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@check-it-now.today.

Check It uses local storage and cookies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and improve performance. We do not use advertising cookies. You can clear local storage from your browser settings, though you will need to sign in again.

Check It is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe a minor has registered, please contact us and we will remove the account.

We may update this Privacy Policy as our services evolve. We will notify you of significant changes through the app or by email. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
