This Privacy Policy explains how SUBMATA collects, uses, protects and shares information when you use our platform for bill payment services.

Privacy Policy

At SUBMATA, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. We collect only the information necessary to deliver our services safely and reliably.

Information we collect

Depending on the service you use, we may collect your name, phone number, email address, transaction details, wallet details, meter number, decoder/smartcard number, exam PIN delivery details, bank account information for airtime-to-cash, device information and support messages.

Airtime and data services

For airtime top-up and data bundles, we collect the phone number, selected network, selected plan, amount and transaction reference needed to process and confirm the service.

Cable TV and electricity

For cable TV and electricity bill payment, we may collect decoder/smartcard number, customer ID, meter number, payment amount and other details required by the service provider.

Exam PINs

For exam PIN purchases, we may collect your phone number or email address so the PIN or confirmation can be delivered to you.

Airtime to cash

For airtime-to-cash requests, we may collect transfer details and bank account information required to verify and complete the transaction.

How we use your information

We use collected information to create and manage accounts, process transactions, verify payments, provide customer support, prevent fraud, improve services and comply with legal or regulatory obligations.

Sharing of information

Your information will never be sold. We only share data when necessary to process transactions securely through service providers, payment processors, technology partners, fraud-prevention partners, or when required by law.

Data security

We use reasonable safeguards such as secure payment gateways, access controls and transaction monitoring to protect your data. However, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security.

Data retention

We keep transaction and account records for as long as required to provide our services, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and meet legal or accounting obligations.
