Privacy Policy
This Policy explains what data Novappip collects, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have over it.
1. Who we are
Novappip (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the Novappip trading platform available at novappip.com. We are the data controller for the personal information described in this Policy.
2. Information we collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Account data: full name, email, phone number, country, password (stored hashed).
- KYC / identity data: government-issued ID, selfie, proof of address — when required for verification.
- Financial data: deposits, withdrawals, payment method details (e.g. M-Pesa number, card metadata, wallet addresses), and balances.
- Trading data: trades placed, stake sizes, outcomes, history, and bonus/referral activity.
- Technical data: IP address, device, browser, operating system, language, time-zone, and cookies/local storage identifiers.
- Usage data: pages visited, features used, session duration, and error logs.
- Communications: support tickets, chat messages, and emails you send us.
3. How we use your information
- To create and operate your account and provide the trading service.
- To process deposits, withdrawals, payouts, and referral commissions.
- To verify your identity and comply with KYC, AML, and sanctions obligations.
- To detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, and breaches of our Terms.
- To provide customer support and respond to your requests.
- To improve the platform, develop new features, and analyze performance.
- To send service notifications and — with your consent — marketing communications.
- To meet our legal, regulatory, tax, and accounting obligations.
4. Legal bases (GDPR/UK GDPR users)
- Contract: to provide the service you signed up for.
- Legal obligation: KYC/AML, tax, and other regulatory requirements.
- Legitimate interests: fraud prevention, platform security, analytics, product improvement.
- Consent: marketing emails and optional cookies — you may withdraw consent at any time.
5. Sharing your information
We share personal data only when necessary, including with:
- Payment processors (e.g. Safaricom M-Pesa, card acquirers, USDT/crypto processors) to settle deposits and withdrawals.
- KYC / identity-verification providers to verify your identity.
- Cloud and infrastructure providers who host the platform and database on our behalf.
- Analytics, communications, and customer-support tools we use to operate the service.
- Law enforcement, regulators, or courts where required by law or to protect our rights.
- Successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
We do not sell your personal information.
6. International transfers
Your data may be processed in countries other than the one you live in. Where required by law, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) to protect your data during such transfers.
7. Data retention
We keep your personal data for as long as your account is active and afterwards for as long as required to meet our legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, and dispute-resolution obligations — typically up to 5–7 years after account closure for transactional and KYC records.
8. Security
We apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS), hashed passwords, row-level access controls, and access logging. No system is 100% secure; you are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and using a strong, unique password.
9. Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion of your data (subject to our legal retention obligations).
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Request portability of data you provided to us.
- Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent).
- Lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
To exercise these rights, email privacy@novappip.com.
10. Cookies & similar technologies
We use cookies and local storage to keep you signed in, remember preferences, secure the platform, and measure performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling essential cookies may break parts of the platform.
11. Children
Novappip is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
12. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified via the platform or email. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
