Privacy policy

Short version: we never sell your data, we never publish your ID documents, and we keep only what we need to run the platform and keep people safe.

1. Who is responsible for your data

Weruns (Lagos, Nigeria) is the controller of personal data collected through this website. Contact us at weruns1@gmail.com for any privacy request.

2. What we collect

Account data: name, email address, phone number (used to log in and to contact you about your account, never shown publicly), password hash, role and account creation date.
Companion profile data: display name, age, city, body type, height, languages, services, bio, rates, photos and contact details you choose to publish.
Verification data: a verification selfie (you holding a note with the site name, your display name and the date) and, if you choose to provide it, a photo of a government ID. These are stored privately and never displayed publicly.
Enquiries and reviews: the name, contact details and message you submit, and the content of reviews.
Order data: name, email, phone, plan, amount, order reference and payment status. We do not store full card numbers — payments are made by bank transfer.
Advertiser data: business name, contact details and the advert text, image and links you submit. Approved adverts are shown publicly while they run.
Technical data: server logs, browser type, approximate location and pages visited, used for security and to understand what is working.

3. How we use your data

To create and operate your account and publish your profile.
To deliver enquiries and reviews to the right person.
To verify identity and moderate the platform.
To process plan orders and provide support.
To detect fraud, abuse, trafficking and other illegal activity.
To send service messages about your account, security and payments.
To improve the product and understand aggregate usage.

We rely on performance of a contract (running your account), legitimate interests (safety, security and product improvement), consent (optional marketing or verification where required), and legal obligation (tax, law enforcement requests).

4. What we share

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with:

Service providers who host the site, store photos, send email or process payments, under contract.
Google, for website analytics, only if you accept analytics cookies (see section 6). Google receives usage data such as pages viewed, device and approximate location, not your account details.
Law enforcement or regulators where we are legally required, or where necessary to protect someone from harm.
A successor entity in a merger or acquisition, subject to this policy.

Public profile information (name, photos, city, rates, bio) is visible to anyone visiting the site. Enquiries are visible to the companion concerned and to authorised moderators. Reviews are public once approved.

5. Verification documents

Verification selfies and ID images are uploaded through your dashboard, stored privately with restricted access (only our moderators can open them), used only to confirm identity and age, and are never shown on public profiles. We delete verification documents when they are no longer needed for verification, dispute resolution or legal compliance. Do not send ID documents by WhatsApp or email unless support specifically asks you to use the secure upload.

6. Cookies and local storage

We use a single httpOnly session cookie to keep you logged in. We use a local browser flag to remember that you confirmed you are 18 or older, and another to remember your analytics choice.

Analytics (optional). With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used, such as which pages are visited and how people find us. Google Analytics sets cookies (for example _ga) and processes usage data such as pages viewed, device and browser type and approximate location. Google signals and ad personalisation are switched off. Analytics only loads after you click "Accept analytics"; if you decline, no analytics cookies are set. You can change your choice at any time with the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page.

We do not use advertising cookies.

7. How long we keep data

Account and profile data: while your account is active, then up to 12 months in backups.
Verification documents: only as long as needed for verification and legal obligations.
Enquiries, reports and reviews: up to 24 months for safety and dispute resolution.
Order and tax records: as long as required by law.
Server logs: typically 90 days.

8. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, and to receive a portable copy. You can update most profile data from your dashboard. For other requests, email us. We may need to verify your identity first. You also have the right to complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) or your local regulator.

9. Security

We use password hashing, httpOnly cookies, access controls, encrypted transit (HTTPS in production) and restricted access to verification documents. No system is perfectly secure. If we become aware of a breach that affects your rights, we will notify you and the relevant authority as required by law.

10. Children

The platform is strictly for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor is using the platform, report it immediately from the safety centre and we will remove the account and related data.

11. International transfers

Our hosting and service providers may process data outside Nigeria. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards and contractual protections.

12. Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be announced on the site or by email. The date at the top of this page shows the current version.
