Privacy Policy
Last updated · 04 June, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Polytank Ghana Limited ("PolyTank",
"we", "our", or "us"), a member of the Mohinani Group, collects, uses,
shares, and protects information when you use our mobile applications (the
PolyTank Dealer App and related field-staff apps), our website
polytankgh.com,
and any other digital services we provide (together, the "Services").
By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to this Policy. If you do not
agree, please do not use the Services.
1Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information to operate the Services:
Account & Identity
Your name, dealer code, email address, phone number, password (stored hashed),
profile photo, role / user type, and the regions / branches you are assigned to.
Business & Order Data
Orders you place, products and quantities, unit prices, discounts, payment method
(credit, cash, or bank transfer), order status history, delivery addresses, pickup
locations, credit balance and credit usage, tickets and support comments.
Communication Data
Comments you post on orders, support tickets, and notifications you receive
(in-app and push).
Device & Technical Data
Device model, operating system version, app version, language, IP address,
crash logs, and a unique push-notification token issued by your device's
push service (Apple Push Notification service or Firebase Cloud Messaging).
Location Data (only when used)
For field-staff users, we collect device location
only when you check in or
check out of a dealer visit, to record where the visit happened. We do not
track your location in the background.
2How We Use Your Information
- Provide the Services — create your account, process and fulfill orders, route approvals, manage credit limits, and deliver products to you.
- Communicate — send order status updates, approvals, rejections, delivery notifications, support replies, and important service announcements.
- Operate & improve — diagnose crashes, fix bugs, monitor performance, and improve features. We use aggregate, non-identifying statistics for product decisions.
- Comply & protect — meet legal, accounting, and tax obligations; prevent fraud; enforce our terms; and protect the rights and safety of users and the public.
- Integrate with our ERP — once an order is approved, we push the necessary order details (your dealer code, items, totals) to our internal ERP system (Orion) for fulfillment.
3Legal Bases for Processing
Where applicable law requires us to identify a legal basis, we process your information
because: (a) it is necessary to perform the contract under which we provide the Services
to you; (b) it is necessary to comply with our legal obligations; (c) you have given us
your consent (for example, to send push notifications); or (d) it is in our legitimate
interests (such as preventing fraud, securing our systems, and improving the Services),
balanced against your rights.
4Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed:
- Within the Mohinani Group — with affiliated entities for order processing, finance, and group-level reporting.
- Service providers — cloud hosting, push-notification services (Apple, Google), SMS / OTP providers (e.g. Arkesel), payment and credit verification partners, and analytics — all under contractual confidentiality obligations.
- Logistics & delivery partners — name, contact, and delivery address only, to deliver your order.
- Legal & regulatory authorities — when required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, and property.
- Business transfers — in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may transfer to the new entity, subject to the same protections described here.
5Push Notifications
With your permission, we send push notifications to keep you informed about order
status changes, approval requests, payment reminders, and important service updates.
You can disable push notifications at any time from your device's settings.
6Device Permissions
- Camera / Photos — to upload a profile picture or attach an image to a support ticket or order.
- Location — only when a field-staff user manually starts a dealer visit check-in.
- Notifications — to deliver push messages described above.
- Network access — required to communicate with our servers.
All permissions are optional except network access; the app functions with reduced features if you deny others, and you can change permissions any time in your device settings.
7Data Retention
We keep your information for as long as your account is active and as required for
legitimate business purposes — typically including:
- Order, invoice, and tax records: at least 7 years after the transaction, in line with Ghana Revenue Authority and accounting requirements.
- Account profile information: while your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to handle disputes or returns.
- Crash logs and device technical data: typically up to 90 days.
On request and where the law permits, we will delete or anonymize information once it is no longer needed.
8Data Security
We protect your information using industry-standard safeguards: HTTPS / TLS encryption
in transit, encrypted storage at rest, password hashing, role-based access controls,
audit logging, and regular security reviews. No system is perfectly secure — if you
suspect unauthorized access to your account, contact us immediately at the address
below.
9Your Rights
Subject to applicable law (including Ghana's Data Protection Act, 2012), you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct any inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Delete your account and associated personal data (subject to retention requirements above).
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.
- Lodge a complaint with the Ghana Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.org.gh).
To exercise any of these rights, email us at the address in section 13. We will respond within a reasonable period and, in any case, within the time limits required by law.
10Children's Privacy
The Services are intended for business customers (dealers) and authorized PolyTank
staff, all of whom are 18 years or older. We do not knowingly collect personal
information from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with
personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
11International Transfers
Our servers and certain service providers (e.g. Firebase, Apple) operate outside of
Ghana. When we transfer your data internationally, we use contractual safeguards
equivalent to those required by Ghana's Data Protection Act, 2012.
12Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will
notify you through the app or by email and update the "Last updated" date above.
Continued use of the Services after the change means you accept the updated Policy.
