Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 25, 2026
MTU Sankofa Living & Learning ("we", "us", "our") operates the Sankofa fundraising platform (fundraiser.sankofa-ngo.org / spendenaktion.sankofa-ngo.org) and the Sankofa Games mobile application. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.
1. Information We Collect
Account information: When you create an account, we collect your email address, phone number, and display name. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email from your Google account.
Donation data: When you make a donation, we collect payment details (processed by Stripe — we do not store your card number), donation amount, and currency.
Game data: When you play Sankofa Games, we collect your scores, difficulty settings, and gameplay statistics for leaderboards.
Analytics: We use PostHog in cookieless mode (no cookies, no persistent identifiers). We collect anonymous, session-level usage data such as pages visited, games played, and device type. This data cannot be linked to you across sessions.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain our services
- To process donations and issue tax receipts
- To display leaderboards and game scores
- To manage membership subscriptions
- To send transactional emails (donation confirmations, login links)
- To improve our platform through anonymous analytics
3. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on Supabase (hosted in the EU) and Vercel. Payment processing is handled by Stripe, which is PCI DSS compliant. We do not store credit card numbers or payment credentials on our servers.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with:
- Stripe — to process payments

- Vercel — web hosting
- PostHog — anonymous analytics (no personal data sent)
5. Cookies
We do not use tracking cookies. Our analytics (PostHog) runs in cookieless mode with in-memory persistence only. Authentication uses secure, HTTP-only session tokens managed by Supabase, which are essential for the service to function.
