Privacy policy
Last updated: March 22, 2026
Merkafri ("we", "us") operates an economic intelligence product focused on African market prices. This policy describes how we handle personal data for the website and pilot services. A Portuguese translation will ship before Pro billing in Angola.
Who we are
Data controller: Merkafri / Alberto Moisés — contact: almoises@elobiz.app.
What we collect
- Account data — if you sign in (email, name from your provider or credentials). Used to deliver sessions, saved views, and future Pro features.
- Community price submissions — product, price, location, date, and optional notes. These are operational market observations, not marketing profiles.
- Technical data — standard server logs, cookies required for authentication, and analytics (e.g. Vercel Analytics) to understand traffic.
Legal bases (EEA / UK users)
Contract (providing the service you request), legitimate interests (securing the product, improving reliability), and consent where required (e.g. non-essential cookies when we add a banner).
Retention
Price records support long-term research value; account data is kept while your account is active and for a short period after deletion for abuse prevention. Detailed retention tables will align with MERKAFRI_SPEC_v2 before scale.
Your rights
Depending on jurisdiction, you may request access, correction, export, or deletion of personal data. Email almoises@elobiz.app. We will respond within statutory timelines.
Processors
Infrastructure and tooling may include hosting (e.g. Vercel), email (e.g. Resend), and payment (e.g. Stripe). We use processors under appropriate agreements.
