7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard and legally required security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These include:

  • Password & PIN hashing: All passwords and PINs are hashed using Argon2 and are never stored or transmitted in plain text.
  • Biometric security: Biometric authentication uses public-key cryptography. Your biometric private key never leaves your device and is never transmitted to or stored on our servers.
  • Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher (HTTPS).
  • Session security: Sessions are invalidated immediately upon logout and can be remotely revoked at any time.
  • Account lockout: Accounts are automatically locked after a defined number of consecutive failed authentication attempts.
  • Email validation: Disposable email addresses are blocked at registration to prevent fraudulent account creation.
  • Access controls: Internal access to personal data is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis, with all access logged and audited.

7.1 Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will:

  • Notify the relevant supervisory authority (Nigeria Data Protection Commission or applicable regulator) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where feasible.
  • Notify affected users without undue delay, in clear and plain language, where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms.
  • Maintain an internal record of all data breaches, including their nature, scope, effects, and remedial actions taken.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right to Access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to Rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.

  • Right to Restriction: You may request that we restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances.
  • Right to Object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
  • Right to Data Portability: You may request your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
  • Right Not to Be Subject to Automated Decision-Making: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@looprail.xyz. We will respond within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

Right to Lodge a Complaint: If you are dissatisfied with our handling of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. For users in Nigeria, this is the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC): www.ndpc.gov.ng.


9. Automated Processing & Profiling

Our fraud prevention and security systems use automated processing to analyse login behaviour, device identifiers, geolocation signals, and transaction patterns. This processing may result in your account being automatically locked or a transaction being automatically flagged or declined where a high fraud risk is detected.

Where our systems make an automated decision that significantly affects you (e.g., account suspension), you have the right to:

  • Request human review of the automated decision;
  • Express your point of view and contest the decision;
  • Receive an explanation of how the decision was made.

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@looprail.xyz.


10. Cookies & Session Management

Our backend API does not use browser cookies for session management. Sessions are managed exclusively via JSON Web Tokens (JWT) transmitted in secure HTTP request headers. No persistent tracking cookies are placed on your device through our mobile App.

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) uses device-level tokens to deliver push notifications. These tokens are refreshed automatically by the Firebase SDK and are not used for advertising or tracking purposes.


11. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed at, and are not intended for use by, individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you are under 18, you must not use our services or provide us with any personal data.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a person under 18, we will delete such data as soon as reasonably practicable. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately at privacy@looprail.xyz.


12. California Residents — CCPA Rights

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including:

  • The right to know what personal data we collect, use, disclose, and sell.
  • The right to request deletion of your personal data.
  • The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data.
  • The right to non-discrimination for exercising your CCPA rights.

Looprail does not sell or share your personal data with third parties for cross-context behavioural advertising or commercial purposes. To exercise your California rights, contact us at privacy@looprail.xyz.


13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will:

  • Post the updated Privacy Policy on our website and within the App;
  • Update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document;
  • Notify you via in-app notification and/or email at least 30 days before the changes take effect for material changes;
  • Where required by law, obtain your renewed consent before the new processing begins.

If you do not agree to the updated Privacy Policy, you must stop using our services and may request deletion of your account. Continued use of the service after the effective date of the new policy constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.


14. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

This Privacy Policy is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, including the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) and any regulations issued thereunder. Any disputes arising from or in connection with this Privacy Policy shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

For users accessing our services from outside Nigeria, we comply with applicable data protection laws of your jurisdiction to the extent required by law, including the GDPR for European Economic Area residents.
