Privacy Policy

Last updated 26 October 2026

This policy explains what personal information Vegaz collects, why, who sees it and the choices you have. We aim to follow the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.

1. Who we are

Vegaz is operated by [company legal name and address, to confirm]. We are responsible for the personal information described here. Contact: [privacy contact email, to confirm].

2. What we collect

Information you give us:

Account: first and last name, username and email address.
Profile: photos, bio, gender and birthday, if you add them.
Tickets: the contact email and phone number you give at checkout, and the names and emails of people you assign tickets to.
Events you host: event details, photos, location, date, ticket types and prices.
Chats: the messages and photos you send in event chats.

Information created when you use Vegaz:

The events you host, join, RSVP to or buy tickets for.
Payment records from Paystack (amount, status, reference). We do not receive or store your full card details.
Basic technical information such as your device, browser and pages visited, used to keep Vegaz working and secure.

3. How we use it

To create and run your account and sign you in with one-time codes.
To show your profile, events and messages to the people you interact with.
To sell and deliver tickets and RSVPs, and send ticket emails.
To post your introduction in an event's chat the first time you join (from your bio and main photo).
To suggest events and personal touches, for example around your birthday, if you shared it.
To keep Vegaz safe: preventing fraud, enforcing our Terms and responding to reports.
To meet legal obligations.

4. Why we are allowed to use it

We use your information because it is needed to provide the service you asked for (our contract with you), because you agreed (for example optional profile details), because we have a legitimate interest in keeping Vegaz safe and improving it, or because the law requires it. You can withdraw consent at any time.

6. How long we keep it

We keep your information while your account is open and as long as needed for the purposes above, then delete it or make it anonymous. Ticket and payment records may be kept longer for accounting and legal reasons. [Retention periods to confirm.]

7. Keeping it safe

We use technical and organisational measures such as encrypted connections, access controls and one-time sign-in codes. No system is perfectly secure, so please keep your email account secure too.

8. Your rights

You can ask us to:

give you a copy of your personal information;
correct it (you can also edit most of it on your Edit Profile page);
delete it, or delete your account;
stop or limit certain uses, or object to them;
move it to another service where that is possible.

Contact [privacy contact email, to confirm]. If you are not happy with our answer you can complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.

9. Children

Vegaz is not meant for people under [minimum age, to confirm]. If we learn that we hold information about someone under that age, we will delete it.

10. Cookies and browser storage

Vegaz uses your browser's storage to keep you signed in and to remember small preferences, such as whether the chat pop-up is open. [Analytics or advertising cookies, if any, to confirm.]

11. Changes to this policy

We will update this policy when the way we use information changes, and tell you about important changes before they apply. The date at the top shows the latest version.
