    3. Legal Basis for Processing

    Where applicable, Gooprep processes personal data on the basis of your consent; the necessity of processing to perform our contract with you (for example, facilitating a booking); our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Platform; and compliance with legal obligations under the laws of Ghana.

    4. How We Share Your Information

    Gooprep does not sell personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:

          Between students/parents and tutors, limited to the profile, scheduling, and communication information necessary to arrange and conduct a lesson

          With payment service providers (MTN Mobile Money, Vodafone Cash, Paystack, and Flutterwave) solely to process payments and payouts

          With service providers who support our operations, such as cloud hosting, customer support tooling, and identity verification services, under confidentiality and data protection obligations

          With regulators, law enforcement, or courts where required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Gooprep, our users, or the public

          In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to continued protection of personal data under this Policy or its successor

          With your consent, or at your direction, for any other purpose

    5. Data Retention

    We retain personal information for as long as your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter to comply with legal, tax, dispute-resolution, and record-keeping obligations. Booking, payment, and transaction records may be retained for longer periods as required by applicable financial and tax regulations. When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or anonymise it.

    6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

    The platform uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, understand how the platform is used, and improve tutor-matching accuracy. You can control cookies through your browser or device settings; disabling certain cookies may limit some platform features.

    7. Data Security

    Gooprep employs administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including AES-256 encryption for stored data and secure transmission protocols. Access to personal information is limited to personnel and service providers who require it to perform their functions. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and while we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

    8. Your Rights

    Subject to applicable law, including Ghana’s Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843), you have the right to the following:

          Access the personal information Gooprep holds about you

          Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information

          Request deletion of your personal information, subject to our legal and legitimate business retention needs

          Withdraw consent to marketing communications at any time

          Object to, or request restriction of, certain processing of your information

    Most of these rights can be exercised directly through your account settings. For requests we cannot fulfil through account settings, please contact us using the details in Section 13.

    9. Children’s Privacy

    The platform is intended for use by individuals sixteen (16) years of age or older. Users between sixteen (16) and eighteen (18) years of age may only use the platform with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, consistent with our Terms and Conditions. Gooprep does not knowingly collect personal information from children under sixteen (16) without appropriate parental or guardian consent. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under sixteen (16) without such consent, we will take steps to delete that information.

    10. International Data Transfers

    Gooprep primarily stores and processes data within, or in service of, the Ghanaian market. Where information is processed by service providers located outside Ghana (for example, cloud infrastructure or payment processing partners), we take reasonable steps to ensure such providers apply data protection standards consistent with this Policy and applicable law.

    11. Tutor Profile Information and Marketing

    As set out in our Terms and Conditions, tutors grant Gooprep a license to use profile photographs, display names, subjects, qualifications, and ratings for the purpose of promoting the Platform and the tutor’s services across digital and print marketing channels. This Privacy Policy governs how that same profile information is otherwise collected, stored, and protected.

    12. Third-Party Links and Services

    The Platform may contain links to third-party websites or services, including payment providers. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy policies before providing them with information.

    13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

    Gooprep may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. We will notify users of material changes via email or in-app notification. Continued use of the Platform following such notice constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
