Privacy

Postcode Padi is a public preview. This page says what we keep and why, in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.

On your device

Your chat, saved places, aliases and cards are stored in your browser. They never leave your device unless you share a card. Clearing your browser data removes them.

What we count

When you use Postcode Padi we record anonymous counts: that a device used the app on a day, which feature it used (finding, verifying or emergency), the state the result was in, and whether live data answered it. Devices are identified by a random id that we hash before storing. We do not store what you typed, your location, or your IP address in these counts.

Messages are sent to our AI provider to produce answers and to Google Maps to find places. Neither is used by us to identify you.

If you sign up

The waitlist keeps the email or phone number you give, plus the optional state, uses and business name. Pledges keep the business details and contact you give. The open letter keeps the name, state and role you give, and shows them publicly only after review. We use contacts only to tell you about Postcode Padi. Reports to NIPOST and the 3MTT programme include counts and approved names, never contact details.

Deleting your data

Reply to any message from us asking to be removed and we will delete your sign-up within 7 days.
