This Privacy Policy explains how Becca AI ("Becca", "we", "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website and the Becca AI assistant at app.meetbecca.com. Becca is built and operated from Lagos, Nigeria, and we handle personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act, 2023 (NDPA).
Becca runs in the cloud. When you chat, your messages are processed on our servers and by trusted third-party AI and live-search providers in order to generate replies and up-to-date information. These providers process conversation content as our service providers, under their own data-protection commitments; we send what is needed to answer you and nothing more.
The Becca Box, our upcoming hardware, is being designed to process more of your data locally, inside your home or office. That local-first model applies only to the Box, and we will describe it fully here before the Box goes on sale. Today, all Becca processing happens in the cloud as described above.
We process your data based on your consent, the performance of our contract with you, our legitimate interest in running and improving Becca, and compliance with the law.
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with: our payment processor (Paystack) to take payment; trusted service providers who help us run Becca, such as hosting, AI processing, live search, email delivery, and encrypted backups, under confidentiality obligations; and authorities where required by law or to protect rights and safety.
Your conversations stay until you delete them in the app or close your account. We keep account information while your account is active. When you close your account, we delete or anonymise your personal data within a reasonable period, except where we must keep it by law. Our encrypted off-site backups roll over automatically, so backup copies are removed within about 30 days.
We protect your data with encryption in transit (HTTPS), one-way password hashing, access controls, rate-limiting and monitoring, and encrypted off-site backups. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and to notify you and the authorities of any breach as required by law.
Under the NDPA you may: access the data we hold about you; correct inaccurate data; request deletion; object to or restrict certain processing; withdraw consent; request a portable copy of your data; and complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission. You can also delete individual conversations yourself in the app at any time. To exercise any other right, email hello@meetbecca.com.
The Becca app stores a sign-in token on your device so you stay logged in. Our website may use limited, privacy-respecting analytics to understand how the site is used. You can control cookies in your browser settings.
Becca is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect children's data. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will remove it.
Some providers we rely on, including our AI and live-search providers, process data outside Nigeria. Where this happens, we take steps to ensure your data receives protection consistent with the NDPA.
We may update this policy. We will post the new version here with an updated date and notify you of significant changes.
