Privacy Policy
Version 3.0 - Effective Date: 24th February 2026 - Last Updated: February 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
This Privacy Policy explains how Jenzy collects, uses, discloses, and protects your personal data when you use our platform or interact with us in connection with our services.
Jenzy operates through two legal entities:
Jenzy Systems Limited, incorporated in Nigeria with company registration number RC 9245144, registered at 6 Iboko Road, Akute-Ishashi, Ifo, Ogun State, Nigeria; and
Jenzy Ltd, incorporated in England and Wales with company registration number 16183483, registered at 20 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU, United Kingdom.
Together these entities are referred to in this policy as "Jenzy", "we", "us", or "our". The entity acting as data controller in respect of your personal data will depend on where you are located and which entity you contract with. Nigerian customers and counterparties will primarily interact with Jenzy Systems Limited. UK and international customers will primarily interact with Jenzy Ltd. Where both entities process your data, both may act as independent controllers.
Jenzy is a technology and payment-orchestration platform. Jenzy does not hold, custody, or transmit funds on its own account. All regulated financial activities - including settlement, foreign exchange conversion, and on/off-ramp functions - are carried out by Jenzy's licensed Regulated Partners (CBN-licensed and/or SEC-licensed banks, payment service providers, and virtual asset service providers). This means your financial data may be shared with those Regulated Partners as part of processing your transactions.
