Vintran Receipt

Privacy policy

Last updated 26 October 2026

This policy explains what personal data Vintran Receipt collects, why we collect it, who we share it with and what you can do about it. It covers two groups of people: businesses that use the app, and the customers whose details appear on those businesses' receipts and invoices. We follow the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA). Using the app is also governed by our terms of use.

In short

  • We collect what you give us to keep your business records, and use it to run the service.
  • We don't sell personal data, show ads, or use analytics or tracking cookies.
  • Your customers' details belong to your business. We hold them for you and use them only to do what you ask, such as sending a reminder.
  • Anyone who has a document's share link or verification code can view that document.
  • You can ask to see, correct, export or delete your data by emailing [email protected].

1.Who we are

Vintran Receipt is run by Vintran (“we”, “us”). For the data in your own account, we are the data controller under the NDPA. You can reach us about anything in this policy at [email protected].

2.Your data and your customers' data

We play a different part depending on whose data it is.

  • Your account. The details you give us about yourself and your business. We decide how this is used, so we are its controller.
  • Your customers' data. The customers you add and the documents you issue to them. Your business decides what to record and why, so your business is the controller and we are its processor. We use this data only to provide the service to you, never for our own purposes.

If you run a business on Vintran Receipt, you need a lawful reason to record your customers' details, and you should tell them how you use those details.

If you are a customer of a business that uses Vintran Receipt, contact that business first to see, correct or delete your details. If you can't reach them, email [email protected] and we'll help where we can.

6.Who we share it with

We share personal data only with the providers that run parts of the service for us, under contract, and only what each needs to do its job.

Cloud hosting providers

We may also share personal data:

  • when the law requires it, or to protect people from fraud or harm;
  • with a buyer if Vintran Receipt is sold or merged. They'd be bound by this policy, and we'd tell you first.

We never sell personal data or share it for advertising.

7.Transfers outside Nigeria

Some of our providers store or process data outside Nigeria, including in the European Union and the United States. Cloudflare and Resend are US companies.

When data leaves Nigeria, we rely on the grounds in Part VIII of the NDPA. Either the destination has adequate data protection law, or the provider's data processing terms commit it to protecting the data to that standard.

8.How long we keep it

How long we keep it

While your account is open. Documents you delete stay in your recoverable trash until you restore them or close your account

Everything in a closed account

How long we keep it

Sign-in codes

How long we keep it

Expire after 10 minutes (staff invitations after 3 days) and are erased once used

Tax law may require your business to keep its records for several years. Download the documents you need before you close your account.

9.How we protect it

  • Passwords and sign-in codes are stored only as one-way hashes. Codes expire after 10 minutes and stop working after 5 wrong attempts.
  • Each login can be signed in on two devices at most, and you can sign other devices out.
  • Staff see only what the business owner allows them to.
  • Bank statements and other evidence are stored under unguessable names and never linked publicly. Our review team opens them only through links that expire after 15 minutes.
  • Data travels between your device and our servers over encrypted connections (HTTPS).

No system is perfectly secure. If a breach puts personal data at risk, we'll report it to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission within 72 hours of finding out. If it's likely to put you at high risk, we'll tell you without delay.

10.Your rights

Under the NDPA you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you, and get a copy.
  • Correct data that is wrong or incomplete. You can edit most of it yourself in your settings.
  • Delete your data and close your account.
  • Restrict how we use your data, for example while a complaint is resolved.
  • Object to uses based on our legitimate interests.
  • Port your data: get it in a common, machine-readable format.
  • Withdraw consent where we rely on it. This doesn't affect what we did before you withdrew.
  • Not be subject to decisions made solely by automated means that significantly affect you.

To use any of these rights, email [email protected] from the address on your account. We may need to confirm it's you. We'll reply within 30 days, free of charge.

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you can complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission. We'd appreciate the chance to fix it first.

11.Automated checks

Accreditation is the only place we use automated checks. Each day, the app measures every business's activity against the published criteria. The check never awards or refuses accreditation on its own. A member of our team reviews every business it refers, together with the evidence the business submits.

12.Cookies and storage on your device

We use only the cookies and storage the app needs to work, or that remember your own choices. We don't use advertising or analytics cookies, so we don't ask for cookie consent.

14.Changes to this policy

When we change this policy, we update the date at the top. If a change significantly affects how we use your data, we'll tell you by email or in the app before it takes effect.
