Privacy Policy

Livria is operated by Beleke Ian Langeh, an individual developer based in Yaoundé, Cameroon. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use the Livria mobile application.

01 Information we collect

1.1 Information you provide directly

Full name — collected during onboarding via Google Sign-In.
WhatsApp phone number — entered manually during profile setup; used so buyers can contact you.
Town / city — selected during onboarding; used to show you nearby listings.
Language preference — English or French; used to display the app in your language.
Textbook listings — title, author, subject, class level, condition, price, description, and up to 3 photos per listing.

1.2 Information collected automatically

Google account information — name, email address, and profile picture provided by Google when you sign in with Google.
Device location (GPS) — requested once during onboarding to show you books within a 10 km radius. You can skip this and we fall back to your selected town instead.
App usage data — collected by Google AdMob for advertising purposes (see Section 4).

Things we never see: payment information (all transactions happen offline between buyers and sellers), the content of your WhatsApp messages, and passwords (authentication is handled entirely by Google OAuth).

02 How we use your information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To create and manage your account.
To display your listings to other users in the Livria marketplace.
To show your WhatsApp number to buyers who want to contact you about a listing you posted.
To show you textbook listings near your location.
To send you in-app notifications — for example when someone clicks to contact you about your listing, or when a saved listing drops in price.
To improve the app and fix bugs.
To serve relevant advertisements via Google AdMob.

04 Google AdMob & advertising

Livria displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect and use data about you to show personalized ads, including:

Device identifiers (Android Advertising ID).
Approximate location.
App usage data.

You can opt out of personalized advertising through your Android device settings: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization. For more information, visit policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

05 Data storage & security

Your data is stored on Supabase's servers hosted on AWS infrastructure. We have implemented appropriate technical measures to protect your personal data, including:

Row-Level Security (RLS) policies that ensure users can only access their own data.
HTTPS encryption for all data in transit.
Secure Google OAuth authentication — we never store passwords.

While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure.

06 Data retention

Your account and profile information is retained until you delete your account.
Your listings are retained until you delete them or mark them as sold.
In-app notifications are retained for 90 days then automatically deleted.
Location data (GPS coordinates) is retained as part of your profile until you update or delete it.

07 Your rights

Right to access — view all your personal information through your profile in the app.
Right to correction — update your name, WhatsApp number, town, and language preference in settings.
Right to deletion — delete individual listings at any time. To delete your entire account, contact us at the email below.
Right to data portability — contact us if you want a copy of your data.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at ianseeeksbeta@gmail.com.

08 Children's privacy

Livria is designed for secondary school students. Some users may be under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary to operate the marketplace. We do not sell data of any users, including minors.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us at ianseeeksbeta@gmail.com and we will delete that information promptly.

09 Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
