5. African Mobile Money and Payment Compliance
For African markets, Break2ru operates as a marketplace technology platform and not as a financial institution.
Payment processing is handled through licensed partners such as Flutterwave and Paystack where available.

All monetary transactions are processed through licensed financial partners.

However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

● Targeting based on sensitive attributes such as race, religion, or health status is prohibited.
● Advertising content must comply with global safety standards.
8. Data Retention Policy
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for:
● Platform operation
● Fraud prevention
● Legal compliance
● Financial auditing requirements
Users may request deletion where legally permitted.
9. International Data Transfers
Because Break2ru operates globally, data may be transferred across jurisdictions using appropriate legal safeguards.
10. Parental Control Guidance
Parents or guardians are encouraged to monitor minors’ platform usage.
If a minor account is identified and violates platform age rules, Break2ru reserves the right to restrict or close the account.
11. Compliance Philosophy
Break2ru is designed as a social marketplace technology platform, not a financial institution, to align with global regulatory frameworks.
