This Privacy Policy explains how EcoCourier (the “Site”, “we”, or “us”) collects, uses, shares, and protects the personal information we obtain through our website, mobile applications, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

By using our Site or Services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Please read carefully to understand how we handle your information.

  • Full name

  • Phone number

  • Email address

  • Mailing or delivery address

  • Payment information (e.g., bank details, mobile money, debit/credit card details)

You may also choose to provide additional information for your profile, but this is optional. We recommend that you share only the information necessary for safe and reliable service.

Like many websites, our Site may automatically record:

  • Browser type, language, and settings

  • Device and operating system details

  • IP address and approximate location

  • Date, time, and duration of visit

  • Pages visited and interactions with the Site

This information is generally collected in aggregate form and does not directly identify you.

c) Location Data

To provide accurate pickup and delivery services, our mobile applications may request access to your device’s GPS location. You may disable location sharing in your device settings, but this may limit the functionality of our services.

  • Processing and completing your deliveries

  • Communicating with you regarding your orders, support, or updates

  • Improving our logistics platform and tailoring services to your needs

  • Ensuring security, fraud prevention, and compliance with legal requirements

  • Analyzing usage trends and website performance (aggregate data)


3. Payment Information

When making online payments, you may provide sensitive financial details (e.g., bank, mobile wallet, debit/credit card information). We do not store this data directly on our servers. Payments are processed securely through trusted third-party providers who comply with industry standards (such as PCI DSS).


4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

a) Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and provide personalized features. Cookies may help us:

  • Keep you logged into your account

  • Track service usage and website performance

  • Remember your preferences

You can disable cookies through your browser settings, but some site features may not function properly.

b) Web Beacons

We may use web beacons to measure the effectiveness of emails and communications.

c) Advertising Cookies

Third-party providers (e.g., Google) may use cookies to deliver targeted ads, limit ad frequency, and measure performance.

d) Analytics

We use Google Analytics and similar tools to gather anonymous insights into how users interact with our Site. This data helps us improve performance and user experience.


5. Sharing of Information

We may share your information only in the following situations:

  • With delivery partners, riders, and logistics staff to complete your service request

  • With trusted third-party service providers (e.g., payment processors, analytics tools)

  • When required by law, regulation, or government request

  • To protect our rights, users, and systems from fraud or misuse

We do not sell or rent your personal information to marketers or unrelated third parties.


6. Data Security

EcoCourier takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.


7. Your Rights & Choices

  • You may update or correct your personal information in your account at any time.

  • You can request deletion of your account and personal data, subject to legal or contractual obligations.

  • You may opt out of promotional emails or targeted ads by adjusting your preferences.


8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Continued use of our Services after changes means you accept the revised policy.
