1. Who We Are

ABAMBUZ Universe operates a digital membership, rewards, affiliate and Marketplace ecosystem. For the personal information described in this Policy, ABAMBUZ Universe acts as the data controller where it determines why and how that information is processed.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the ecosystem, we may collect the following information:

3. How We Use Personal Information

• To calculate and record BUZZO rewards, commissions, transfers and purchases.
• To verify identity, payout accounts and withdrawal eligibility.
• To prevent fraud, duplicate accounts, self-referrals and unauthorised access.
• To issue password-reset messages, security codes and transaction notices.
• To comply with legal, accounting, tax, security and regulatory obligations.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

We process personal information where one or more of the following applies:

• Contract: processing is necessary to provide the services you requested.
• Consent: you have given clear permission for a particular use.
• Legal obligation: processing is required to meet applicable legal duties.
• Legitimate interests: processing is necessary for security, fraud prevention, service improvement or responsible business administration, provided your rights are respected.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use necessary cookies to keep you signed in, secure your session, remember your cart and process transactions. We may also use analytics or preference cookies to understand how the website is used and improve its performance.

You can control non-essential cookies through your browser or any cookie preference tool made available on the website. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent login, checkout or other secure functions from working correctly.

6. When We Share Information

We may share relevant information with trusted recipients where necessary, including:

• Payment gateways, banks and payment-service providers.
• Identity-verification, fraud-prevention and security providers.
• Hosting, email, analytics, backup and technical-support providers.
• Marketplace suppliers, fulfilment partners and delivery providers.
• Professional advisers, auditors, insurers and legal representatives.
• Regulators, courts, law-enforcement bodies or government authorities where required by law.

7. Payments, KYC and Payout Accounts

Payment-card or bank-payment information may be processed directly by an approved payment provider. ABAMBUZ may receive transaction references, payment status, amount and limited payment details needed to reconcile the transaction.

Identity and payout-account information is used to verify members, prevent unauthorised withdrawals and ensure that withdrawals are paid only to an approved account that matches the member’s verified legal identity.

Full payout-account numbers are protected and are normally displayed only in masked form. Bank details must not be sent through ordinary support messages or public channels.

8. International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process or store information outside Nigeria. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to use appropriate contractual, technical or legal safeguards and to ensure that the transferred information receives an adequate level of protection.

9. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including account administration, transaction records, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal compliance, audits and enforcement of programme terms.

Some information may be kept after an account is closed where required for financial, security, legal or regulatory reasons. Information that is no longer required will be deleted, anonymised or securely archived.

10. How We Protect Information

• Access controls and role-based administrative permissions.
• Password protection, security codes and login monitoring.
• Encryption or strong protection for sensitive payout information.
• Secure HTTPS connections and server-security controls.
• Transaction logging, audit trails and fraud-monitoring procedures.
• Backups, operational monitoring and incident-response procedures.

No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Members must keep their passwords private, use unique passwords and contact Support immediately if they suspect unauthorised activity.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Subject to applicable law and verification of your identity, you may request to:

We may request information to confirm your identity before responding. Certain requests may be limited where retaining or processing information is required by law, needed to protect other people, or necessary for legal claims and fraud prevention.

12. Children’s Privacy

ABAMBUZ membership and transactional services are not intended for children who cannot lawfully enter into the applicable agreements. We do not knowingly create transactional accounts for children without the legally required authorisation. Contact us if you believe a child’s information has been provided improperly.

13. Automated Checks and Fraud Prevention

We may use automated rules to identify duplicate accounts, unusual transfers, suspicious login activity, referral abuse, payment risk or withdrawal concerns. A flagged transaction may be delayed or referred for human review. Members may contact Support to request clarification or review of a restriction.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, security practices or legal obligations. The current version will be published on this website with a revised effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the member dashboard, email or another appropriate channel.
