Privacy Policy
Effective July 17, 2026 · Afila Inc (“AfilaPay”)
What we collect
- Account details — your phone number (verified by SMS code), chosen username, and display name.
- Transaction records — the amounts, senders, recipients, and timestamps of payments you make and receive on AfilaPay.
- Device information — a cryptographic public key generated on your device (used to authorize your payments), the device platform, and a push notification token if you allow notifications.
- Camera access — used only to scan payment QR codes; images are processed on your device and never uploaded.
What we don't do
- We do not hold, store, or transmit your money. All funds are collected, held, and disbursed by Paystack, a payment service provider licensed by the Bank of Ghana. AfilaPay keeps the transaction records.
- We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
- We do not read your contacts, location, photos, or messages.
- Your mobile money PIN is never seen by AfilaPay — you enter it only in your network’s own prompt.
How we use your information
- To operate your account: showing your balance and history, routing payments to the right @username, and sending you verification codes and payment notifications.
- To process payments through Paystack, which receives the phone number and amount needed to complete each mobile money charge or transfer.
- To send SMS (verification codes, claim links) through our SMS provider.
- To prevent fraud and keep the service safe.
Security
Every payment you make must be approved on your device with your fingerprint or face, which unlocks a hardware-protected key that never leaves your phone. All traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted (HTTPS). Transaction records are kept in a double-entry ledger that is continuously balance-checked.
Sharing
We share data only with the service providers needed to run AfilaPay — Paystack (payment processing) and our SMS delivery provider — and when required by law or a competent regulator such as the Bank of Ghana.
Your choices
- You can turn off push notifications in your phone’s settings at any time.
- You can disable your public pay page from the app.
- To close your account or request deletion of your personal data, contact us — transaction records may be retained where financial record-keeping laws require it.
