Privacy

Ace Of Africa is an editorial platform dedicated to highlighting African personalities. We keep data collection to what is strictly necessary.

This policy applies to this website and its features (search, newsletter, profile submissions, contact form, and donations via PayPal).

Newsletter: if you subscribe, we collect your email address to send you our communications.

Submissions: if you propose a profile, we collect the information you provide (e.g., name, country, profession, biography, rationale, image) for editorial review.

Donations: payments are processed by PayPal. We do not receive your banking details.

Contact: if you reach us via the contact form, we collect your name, email address, subject, and message content to handle your request.

Traffic statistics: we measure page views in an anonymized way (IP address and browser turned into an irreversible hash), without setting any cookie and without the possibility of individual identification.

Newsletter and contact form: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

Profile submissions and donations: fulfilling the request you send us.

Anonymized traffic statistics: our legitimate interest in measuring site audience, without any impact on your privacy.

Your data may be processed by the following technical providers, strictly as needed to operate the site: Vercel (website hosting), Neon (database hosting), Cloudflare (image storage), Resend (email delivery), and PayPal (donation processing).

These providers may be located outside the European Union. Where applicable, such transfers are governed by appropriate safeguards under applicable regulations, in particular standard contractual clauses.

We use PayPal to process donations. PayPal may set third-party cookies required to complete payment.

You can decline these cookies and enable them later if you wish to donate. Beyond PayPal, we do not set any audience-measurement or advertising cookies.

Newsletter email addresses: kept until you unsubscribe.

Profile submissions and contact messages: kept for as long as needed to process them, then archived or deleted within a reasonable period.

These periods will be further specified in a future version of this policy.

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, and alteration.

Under applicable data protection regulations, you have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict, and object to the processing of your data, as well as the right to data portability and to withdraw your consent at any time.

To exercise these rights, contact us via the contact form available in the footer. [A dedicated contact address and the competent supervisory authority will be added once the organization's legal status is finalized.]

We may update this policy to reflect legal or technical changes. The update date is shown at the top of the page.
