Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Frevn collects when you use the platform, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It applies to all users — clients, freelancers, agencies, and visitors.
Last updated: July 1, 2026. This page is maintained by Frevn to answer common privacy questions about our platform.
1. Information we collect
Account information: name, email, password (hashed), country, preferred currency and language, and role (client/freelancer/admin).
Profile & work data: avatar, cover image, bio, portfolio, services, skills, assessment results, reviews, orders, and messages.
Verification data: government-issued ID, selfie, and tax details submitted for KYC. These are stored encrypted and only accessed by authorized moderators.
Payment data: handled by our providers (Stripe, Paystack, Flutterwave). Frevn stores only the tokens, last four digits, and payout preferences — never full card numbers.
Usage data: device, browser, IP address, pages viewed, and interaction events for security, analytics, and product improvement.
2. How we use your information
- Operate the marketplace: matching, messaging, orders, escrow, and payouts.
- Verify identity, prevent fraud, and enforce our Terms of Use.
- Provide AI features (moderation, skill assessments, matching) using anonymized inputs where possible.
- Send transactional emails, in-app notifications, and — with your consent — product updates.
- Comply with legal, tax, and regulatory obligations across the regions we operate in.
3. Sharing your information
We share personal data only when necessary:
- Other users — profile info, service details, and messages relevant to an order.
- Payment providers — Stripe, PayPal, Payoneer, Paystack, Flutterwave for processing payments and payouts.
- Infrastructure providers — hosting, storage, email delivery, and AI inference under strict data processing agreements.
- Identity & compliance providers — KYC verification, sanctions and PEP screening.
- Legal authorities — when required by valid legal process.
A full list of the third-party providers we use — with the data shared and processing region for each — is maintained on our Sub-processors page. We do not sell personal information.
4. Cookies & tracking
Frevn uses cookies and local storage for authentication, preferences (theme, currency, language), and analytics. You can clear cookies from your browser at any time; strictly necessary cookies are required for the app to function.
5. Security
Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Row-level security policies isolate user data on our database, and sensitive uploads (KYC, tax) are behind signed URLs with short expirations. Two-factor authentication (authenticator app, email OTP, biometrics) is available to every user.
6. Your rights & choices
- Access, correct, or export your data from Account & settings.
- Delete your account and associated personal data from Account & settings → Close account.
- Opt out of marketing emails from the notification preferences page.
- Request data portability or erasure by contacting our team.
7. International transfers & retention
Frevn operates worldwide and serves clients globally. Data may be processed in the country where our infrastructure providers operate. We retain account data while your account is active and for a limited period afterwards to meet legal, tax, and dispute-resolution obligations.
8. Children
Frevn is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a minor has created an account, please contact us so we can remove it.
