This Privacy Policy explains what personal information GMANA collects when you use gmana.co, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

GMANA is an online marketplace based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where independent local sellers (“merchants”) list and sell their products. In this policy, “GMANA”, “we” and “us” mean the operator of gmana.co, and “you” means anyone who visits or shops on it.

  • Orders and deliveryThe products you order, order totals, and the delivery details you give us, such as your name, phone number and address.

  • send messages about your account and orders, such as sign-up codes, password resets and order updates;
  • answer your questions and help resolve problems between buyers and merchants;
  • detect and prevent fraud, abuse and security incidents, and enforce our Terms of Service;
  • fix problems and improve how GMANA works; and
  • meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

3.How we share information

We share personal information only in the following cases:

  • MerchantsWhen you place an order, the merchant who sells the product receives what they need to fulfil it: your name, phone number, delivery address, the items you ordered and any messages you send them. Merchants may use this information only to complete your order and answer questions about it.
  • Service providersCompanies that help us run GMANA, including Supabase (database and sign-in, hosted in Singapore), Cloudflare (hosting, content delivery and security), Google (sign-in with Google) and our payment providers. They process information on our behalf and only as needed to provide their service.
  • Legal reasonsWhen the law, a court order or a government authority requires it, or when it is needed to protect the rights, safety or property of GMANA, our users or others.
  • Business changesIf GMANA is part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that deal. We will tell you before it becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

5.Where your information is stored

GMANA is operated from Cambodia. Our database is hosted in Singapore, and our hosting provider serves the site from data centres around the world. When your information is handled outside Cambodia, we rely on providers that use industry-standard safeguards to protect it.

6.How long we keep information

  • We keep your account details for as long as your account is open. If you delete your account, we delete or anonymise those details within 30 days.
  • We keep order and payment records for as long as we need them for accounting, tax and dispute purposes, which can continue after your account is closed.
  • Server and security logs are kept for a short period and then deleted automatically.

7.How we protect your information

We encrypt information in transit (HTTPS), store passwords only in hashed form, and limit access to personal information to the people who need it for their work. Staff access to our admin tools requires two-step verification.

No system is completely secure. If you think someone has accessed your account, change your password and contact us straight away.

8.Your choices and rights

You can ask us to:

  • give you a copy of the personal information we hold about you;
  • correct information that is inaccurate or out of date;
  • delete your account and the personal information linked to it, except records we must keep by law; and
  • stop using your information for a purpose you previously agreed to.

To make a request, email us from the address linked to your account. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on it, and we aim to respond within 30 days.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without a parent or guardian’s consent. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

10.Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as GMANA grows. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, we will tell you by email or with a notice on the site before they take effect.
