Please note that in many cases, AfriCrowd cannot view or access all of the information you provide to us for compliance purposes, such as complete bank account numbers or government IDs, as this may be transmitted via automated means directly to the vendor that requires that compliance information.
- Information you provide in public forums on our sites and applications, such as your public posts.
- Information sent directly to another User, post, or similar functionality, where we are permitted by applicable law to collect this information.
- Information you provide when signing up for updates and news from a Campaign pre-launch on the Site.
- Information we obtain from a third party, such as a site or platform provider, about the use of our Site or Services on third-party platforms or devices.
- Location information, including location information provided by a mobile or other device interacting with one of our sites or applications (including through beacon technologies), or associated with your IP address, where we are permitted by law to process this information.

- Usage, viewing, technical, and device data when you visit our sites, use our applications on third-party sites or platforms, or open emails we send, including your browser or device type, unique device identifier, and IP address.
You may decline to provide us with your information. However, this will limit your ability to register for an account or use our Services. You may Contribute to a Campaign without creating an account to use our Services, but we will still need to collect required information for compliance purposes in order to process your Contribution. However, to adjust your Contribution, save payment details for future Contribution, comment on a Campaign, and take most other actions on our Site, you will need to finish creating an account. You may review, change or remove certain types of your information through your account settings.
