Website storage and email requests
This website uses no analytics trackers or advertising cookies. If you prepare a support or deletion email, the information stays in the form until you open it in your email app, and it is only sent if you send that email. Our hosting provider keeps standard access and security logs.
Retention and deletion
Your account information is kept while your account is open. You can delete your account in the app (Account → Delete account) or by following the steps on the account deletion page; email requests are completed within 7 days. Your profile, addresses, cart, favourites and device tokens are removed at once. Records of completed orders, payments and refunds are kept for up to six years for accounting and consumer-protection obligations, with your account details removed from them. Backups expire within 30 days.
Your choices and rights
You can request access to your information, correction of inaccurate information, or deletion, and raise concerns about how it is used. Applicable rights depend on the relevant circumstances and law. You may also contact Ghana’s Data Protection Commission.
Use the account deletion page for deletion requests or contact support for privacy enquiries.
Security and changes
Information travels between the app and our servers over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Passwords are stored hashed, and access to customer information is limited to staff who need it to run the store. No system can promise absolute security. The China2U app is for adults aged 18 and over; we do not knowingly collect information from children. Changes to this notice are posted on this page with a new effective date.
