What we keep, and why.

Seamza is a tool for tailors and the people they dress. To do that it holds personal data: names, phone numbers, measurements, photos of garments and sometimes of bodies, and records of what was ordered and paid. This page says plainly what we collect, what we do with it, who sees it, and what you can ask us to do. It is written to meet the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) and the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation, and we apply the same standard wherever you are.

Who is responsible

Seamza is the data controller for the accounts, the marketplace and the app itself. A tailor’s shop is the controller for the client records it keeps in its own book on Seamza, and Seamza processes that data on the shop’s instructions. Questions about either go to privacy@seamza.com.

What we collect

From tailors and their staff

• Your name, email, password (stored only as a hash), shop name, address, phone and WhatsApp number, and the photos and prices on your shop profile.
• Everything you record in the workshop: clients, measurements, orders, stage photos, payments, stock, staff, and the messages Seamza drafts for you.
• Places you pin on the Supplies map and the prices you report.
• Your plan, invoices and payment references from our payment provider. We never see your card number.

From clients

• Your name, email, password hash, phone number and area.
• Your measurements, kept once and shared with the tailors you choose, and only while you allow it.
• Your requests, quotes, orders, reviews and aso-ebi groups.
• Photos you add to a request or an order, and, only with your consent each time, a photo of you used for an AI preview.

From everyone

• Device and usage information needed to run the app: browser, rough location from your IP, pages visited, errors. We use Sentry for errors and keep no advertising trackers.
• If you sign in with Google, Google gives us your name, email address and profile picture, and nothing else. We use them to create and label your account and to show your name to the people you work with on Seamza. We never read your Gmail, contacts, calendar or files. Our use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

What we use it for

• Running the product: showing a tailor their book, a client their orders, and both the same balance.
• Messages you ask for: order updates, fitting reminders, receipts and balance reminders, sent on WhatsApp or SMS from the shop’s name.
• The marketplace: matching requests to tailors nearby, showing public shop profiles and reviews.
• AI features: measurement estimates from photos, scanned measurement books, drafted messages, and “see it on them” previews. Photos sent to an AI provider are used for that one result and are not used to train any model, ours or theirs.
• Billing, fraud prevention, and the legal duties we have as a Nigerian business.

We do not sell personal data, and we do not show advertising.

Who sees it

• Your tailor sees your record if you are their client; you see your orders and sizes on your side. Other tailors never see your measurements unless you share them.
• Tailors never see each other’s quotes or prices on a request, and a client’s name stays hidden from tailors until the client accepts a quote.
• Service providers who process data for us under contract: Supabase (database and storage, EU region), Netlify (hosting), Paystack (payments), Meta (WhatsApp messages), Google (sign-in and AI), Anthropic (AI), Resend (email), Sentry (errors). Each receives only what its job needs.
• The law, when a court or a regulator properly requires it.

Where it lives and for how long

Data is stored with Supabase in the European Union and backed up daily. We keep an account’s data for as long as the account is open. AI preview images are deleted after 30 days unless saved to a client record. Stage photos and measurements stay with the order. If you close your account we delete it within 30 days, keeping only what tax law requires (invoices) and a record that deletion happened.

Your rights

Under the NDPA you can ask us to:

• Show you what we hold about you, or export it: Settings → Data & privacy → Export everything.
• Correct anything that is wrong.
• Delete your account: Settings → Data & privacy → Delete account, or email us.
• Stop sharing your measurements with a tailor at any time, from Your sizes.
• Withdraw consent for a photo used in an AI preview; the preview is deleted.
• Complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission if you think we have got something wrong, after telling us first so we can fix it.

We answer within 30 days and we do not charge for it.

Children

Seamza is for adults. A tailor may keep a child’s measurements in the book on a parent’s behalf; the parent’s account is the one we deal with.

Changes

If this page changes in a way that matters, we tell you in the app before it takes effect. The date at the top is the version you are reading.
