Privacy
Last updated 11 October 2026
This explains what Etesen collects, why, and what you can ask us to do. We aim to follow Ghana's Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843).
What we collect
- Your phone number, to sign you in with a one-time code and to prevent abuse.
- Your name, if you add one. Buyers see it on your listings.
- Your listings: text, price, area and photos. Photos have their location and camera data removed when we process them.
- Activity needed to run the service: the listings you save, reports you send, and when you reveal a seller's number.
- Technical data such as your IP address and device type, used for security and rate limits.
Who can see your phone number
Your number is private. A signed-in buyer who taps "Show seller's number" on your listing can see it, and we count that as a contact. We do not sell your number or show it to advertisers.
How we use it
- To run the marketplace: sign-in, listings, saving, contacting sellers.
- To keep it safe: spotting scams and spam, handling reports and bans.
- To understand use in aggregate, for example how many listings lead to a contact.
Who we share it with
Service providers that help us run Etesen (for example SMS delivery, hosting and photo storage), only as needed to provide the service. We may disclose information if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
Your account and listings are kept while your account is active. Removed listings and moderation records are kept for a time so we can handle disputes and prevent repeat abuse.
Your choices
You can edit your name, delete your listings, and ask us to access, correct or delete your data. Contact us using the details below.
