Lanhy ("we", "us", "our") operates the Lanhy marketplace app and website (together, the "Service"), connecting buyers and sellers so they can list, discover, and arrange the sale of products directly with each other. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using Lanhy, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.

Account information you provide: full name, username, email address, password, WhatsApp number, phone number (both Nigerian numbers), bio, location and state, and a referral code if you were invited by someone.

Photos and content: your profile and cover photos, product listing photos, post photos, and any images you send in messages. We only access the specific photo(s) you choose from your device's photo library — we do not access your full camera roll.

Content you create: product listings, posts, comments, reviews and ratings, messages you send to other users, likes/saves, reports, and any support requests you send us.

Location: with your permission, we use your device's location to show you nearby listings. You can decline location access and still use Lanhy — some "near you" features just won't be available.

Order & delivery information: when you buy or sell something, we store the order details, delivery/pickup preference, and the shipping address and phone number you provide for that order.

Automatically collected: a device push-notification token (so we can deliver notifications to you), and basic presence data (whether you're currently online, last seen time).

Lanhy is a pay-on-delivery / arrange-with-the-seller marketplace — we do not collect or store payment card numbers, bank details, or process payments within the app.

• To create and manage your account, and let you sign in
• To show your listings, posts, and profile to other users, and let buyers and sellers find and contact each other
• To let you message other users, and deliver order and activity notifications
• To screen uploaded images for inappropriate content before they're published
• To show you more relevant listings (e.g. from people you follow, sellers near you, or in your state)
• To investigate reports, disputes, and violations of our terms
• To maintain the security and reliability of the Service

Lanhy is a public marketplace and social platform. Your profile (name, username, bio, avatar, follower count, ratings), your listings, your posts, and your WhatsApp/phone number (so interested buyers can contact you about a listing) are visible to other users and, in most cases, to anyone visiting the site or app without an account. Messages you send are only visible to you and the recipient.

We use a small number of service providers to run Lanhy. We don't sell your data to anyone.

• Supabase — our database, authentication, file storage, and real-time messaging infrastructure. Your account data, content, and uploaded files are stored on Supabase's servers.
• Google Cloud Vision API — uploaded images are sent to Google's SafeSearch service to automatically screen for nudity or sexual content before they're allowed to publish.
• Expo push notification service (which relays through Apple and Google's own push services) — used to deliver push notifications to your device.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the safety of our users, or to investigate fraud or violations of our terms.

We keep your information for as long as your account is active, or as needed to provide the Service. You can delete your account at any time from the app (Settings → Danger Zone → Delete My Account), which permanently removes your profile, listings, posts, messages, and other account data. See our Account Deletion page for the full process, including how to request deletion if you can't access the app.

• Edit or update most of your profile information at any time from your profile settings
• Turn off push notifications from your device's system settings
• Decline location permission (some features will be limited)
• Delete your account and data at any time

Lanhy is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in Nigeria), and we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we'll remove it.

We use industry-standard measures — including encrypted connections, access controls, and database-level security policies — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect your data and to respond quickly if something goes wrong.

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
