Privacy policy

Your information, handled with care.

Last updated October 8, 2026

1. About this policy

This policy explains how PelekaNow collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our website, mobile application, and errand services.

2. Information we collect

We collect information you provide when creating an account, completing your profile, requesting an errand, communicating with a Runner, or contacting support. This may include your name, contact details, service addresses, payment references, profile information, and information needed to verify Runners.

We also receive technical information such as device type, IP address, browser details, approximate location when you grant permission, and activity required to keep the service secure and reliable.

3. How we use information

We use information to provide and improve errands, match customers with Runners, process payments, communicate service updates, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, maintain safety, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.

4. Sharing information

We share only what is needed to provide a service. For example, relevant errand and contact details may be shared with an assigned Runner. We may use trusted providers for hosting, payments, communications, maps, image storage, and analytics; they may process information only to provide those services.

5. Images and location

Images uploaded for profiles, errands, or support are stored with our image-storage provider. Location data is used only when a feature requires it and your device permission allows it. You can revoke location permission through your device settings.

6. Retention and security

We retain information for as long as needed to provide services, meet legal and accounting requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We use access controls and reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.

7. Your choices and rights

You may review and update account information, manage device permissions, and request access to or correction/deletion of personal information, subject to applicable law and legitimate retention requirements.
