Protecting Data. Building Trust. Enabling Commerce.
OMNICART respects your privacy and explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect personal data across our websites, CommerceOS, applications, marketplaces, APIs, and other services.

Our solutions include CommerceOS, specialized merchant dashboard tools, public and private marketplaces, consumer-facing digital applications, unified payments integration, logistics orchestration pipelines, real-time sales analytics, and native AI-powered business services.

How We Use Your Data
OMNICART only processes personal information for specific, legitimate business purposes related to our core commerce platform:
Provide and maintain operational continuity of all integrated commerce services
Successfully process marketplace orders, secure payment settlements, returns, and physical deliveries
Authenticate identity, manage merchant rosters, and facilitate buyer account profiles
Deliver real-time automated status updates and critical support channels

Consistently research, optimize, and refine our user flows, platform performance, and tool architectures

AI & Data
OMNICART builds native artificial intelligence workflows into the core operating engine of CommerceOS. These systems are strategically deployed to optimize search indexing, refine catalog categorizations, build market trend forecasts, automatically detect structural transaction fraud, and generate helpful inventory insights for merchant operators. All AI models operate under strict data minimisation controls, strict database isolation, and meaningful human oversight to prevent bias or unintended exposure of sensitive merchant or customer data.
Data Security
We safeguard the integrity of our digital parameters utilizing multi-layered technical, physical, and administrative shields:
Encryption & MFA
Data encrypted at rest and in transit via TLS 1.3 and AES-256. MFA enforcement for administrative access.
Least-Privilege Roles
Role-based access controls limits employee data visibility strictly to what is required for their functions.
Tenant Isolation
Strict logic partitions isolate each merchant database, ensuring no cross-exposure of transaction histories.
Monitoring & Incident
Real-time security auditing, secure offsite backups, daily log validation, and structured incident response procedures.
Data Retention
OMNICART retains personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes detailed in this policy. When the legal foundation or commercial utility of a dataset expires, we systematically delete, purge, or securely anonymize the record to prevent future recovery. Under specific regulatory constraints, we are obligated to retain specific financial transaction logs to comply with legal audit protocols, protect platform security, or resolve historical merchant disputes.
Your Privacy Rights
As an OMNICART user, you hold specific legal rights concerning the personal records we process:
Third-Party Services
OMNICART interfaces smoothly with external technical assets—including integrated payment pathways, third-party logistics firms, database CDNs, and optional social media extensions. These connected elements operate outside our baseline boundaries and maintain unique, independent privacy terms. We strongly recommend our users review the unique privacy terms of each third-party tool before activating an interface.
Merchant Responsibilities
Merchants deploying OMNICART marketplaces or CommerceOS to list products and sell goods act as the primary Data Controllers for their customer records. Merchants must provide appropriate privacy notices to their buyers, secure data lawfully, manage platform permissions, protect access keys, and comply with all applicable regional and national data-protection laws.
International Data Transfers
OMNICART manages infrastructure inside and outside national boundaries to provide optimized service delivery across Africa. Your personal records may be processed in states other than the one where they were initially captured. Where cross-border migrations occur, OMNICART implements validated legal instruments—such as Standard Contractual Clauses—to ensure records maintain a level of protection equivalent to their collection origin.
Changes to This Policy
OMNICART reserves the right to adjust this Privacy Policy to reflect modifications in platform architecture, scaling strategies, database structures, or regional compliance frameworks. When material adjustments occur, we will post notice visible inside the platform and update the effective stamp at the head of this document.
