Data Retention Policy

This policy explains how long Akara may keep user data and why.

Akara does not hold, receive, escrow, custody, remit, convert, or move user funds. Users send money directly to each other through their own bank or mobile money accounts. Users must confirm payout details before sending money. KYC data, receipts, and WhatsApp chat records may be used for fraud prevention and dispute review. Akara may pause trades, restrict accounts, suspend listings, require admin review, or block users where needed for safety.

Records Akara May Retain

Retention Periods

KYC records may be retained for 5 years after account closure or last transaction unless law requires longer. Receipts and dispute records may be retained for 5 years. WhatsApp chat records may be retained for 2 years unless linked to disputes, fraud, legal review, compliance review, or safety concerns.

Why Records May Be Kept

Records may be kept to verify activity, prevent fraud, review disputes, investigate suspicious behaviour, handle complaints, meet legal obligations, and protect users.

Deletion and Legal Holds

Records may not be deleted immediately if linked to an active dispute, fraud review, legal request, compliance review, or safety investigation.

No-custody notice
