1. Your Privacy Is Power
At Our World Nexus, your data is not a commodity — it’s a commitment. We honor the trust you place in us. Whether you’re shopping, selling, learning, or simply exploring, your privacy is protected with principle.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information to serve you better — not to exploit you.
You may provide us with:
Name, email address, and contact details (e.g., when you join the Book Club or become a vendor)
Shipping and billing address (for purchases)
Payment information (securely stored through our payment gateway provider)
IP address, browser type, and device info (to improve security and performance)
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your data only in ways that directly benefit your experience with us.
This includes:
Processing and fulfilling orders
Providing customer support
Sending updates, receipts, or important service announcements
Sending Book Club materials, invites, or discussions (if you opt in)
Improving our platform, security, and services
4. Payment & Checkout
We accept multiple secure payment methods — including, but not limited to, PayPal, Stripe, and select credit/debit cards.
To make future checkouts easier (similar to Amazon), we may securely store encrypted payment preferences via our trusted payment processor. We do not store raw credit card data on our servers.
5. Cookies & Tracking
OWN Marketplace uses cookies to:
Keep your cart intact
Understand how visitors use our site
Remember your preferences
You can control or clear cookies via your browser settings.
6. Third-Party Services
We may use trusted tools (like email services, analytics, and chat systems) to serve you better. These providers are carefully chosen and required to protect your data.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your information — period.
7. International & AGOA-Aligned Buyers
If you’re located outside the United States — especially in countries connected through the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) — you are welcome here. We comply with international data standards and proudly serve buyers, vendors, and allies across the Diaspora.
8. Vendor Privacy Addendum
Vendors are required to respect customer data and agree to uphold this policy within their own operations.
Any misuse, unauthorized contact, or data-sharing will result in immediate removal from the platform.
9. Your Rights
You have the right to:
Request access to your information
Ask us to delete your data
Opt out of promotional emails at any time
Ask questions and receive transparent answers
