Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. By using GrowthHaven, you consent to the practices described here.
1. Who We Are
GrowthHaven is a social engagement and content platform designed for creators and community members. References to "we", "us", or "GrowthHaven" in this policy refer to the platform and its operators. For any questions about your data, contact us at support@growthhaven.com.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information you provide directly
- Full name — collected at registration and used to personalise your account experience.
- Email address — used as your account identifier, for OTP verification, and for important account communications.
- Password — stored as a one-way cryptographic hash. We cannot read your password in any form.
- Referral code — if you were referred by another member, we store the code used at sign-up to credit the referrer appropriately.
2.2 Information generated automatically
- Referral records — we log which members you have referred and the status of each referral relationship.
- Account activity — actions taken within your account such as community engagement, task completion, and dashboard interactions are logged for security and audit purposes.
- Session data — basic session information managed by our authentication provider (Supabase). We do not collect device fingerprints or precise location data.
3. Data We Do Not Collect

- Government identification numbers (NIN, BVN, passport, or equivalent).
- Biometric data of any kind.
- Your device location or GPS coordinates.
- Browsing history outside of GrowthHaven.
- Any data from your contacts, camera, or microphone.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Create and manage your account.
- Verify your identity during registration via email OTP.
- Process and track referral relationships and rewards.
- Send you important account notifications and platform updates.
- Prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorised access.
- Improve the platform based on aggregated, anonymised usage patterns.
- Comply with applicable legal obligations.
We do not use your personal data for advertising purposes, sell it to third parties, or use it for any purpose not described in this policy.
5. Third-Party Services We Use
GrowthHaven uses the following trusted providers to operate the platform. Each provider's use of your data is governed by their own privacy policy:
- Supabase — database, authentication, and infrastructure. Stores your account data, referral records, and session tokens securely. Supabase Privacy Policy ↗
We do not share your personal data with any other third parties without your explicit consent, except where required by applicable law.
6. Data Retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you close your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 90 days, except where we are required to retain records for regulatory or legal purposes.
Aggregated, anonymised data — where no individual can be identified — may be retained indefinitely for platform improvement and analytics.
7. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including:
- Encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) for all data in transit.
- Row-level security on our database — your data is only accessible to your own authenticated account.
- Passwords stored as one-way cryptographic hashes — not readable by anyone, including us.
No system is completely secure. If you become aware of a security vulnerability involving GrowthHaven, please contact us immediately at security@growthhaven.com.
8. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction — request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Deletion — request deletion of your account and personal data, subject to any legal retention obligations.
- Portability — request your account activity data in a portable format.
- Objection — object to any processing you believe is unlawful or inconsistent with this policy.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@growthhaven.com. We will respond within 30 days.

GrowthHaven is not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we discover that a minor has registered an account, we will immediately suspend and delete it.
