Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2026
At Atakost, your privacy matters. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep things simple — no jargon, no surprises.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly — such as your name, email address, and financial data you enter to calculate your cost of living and status tier. We also collect basic usage data to improve the platform.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your data is used to provide and personalise the Atakost experience — including calculating your financial status tier, sending relevant notifications, and improving our services. We do not sell your personal data.
3. Financial Data
Financial figures you enter (income, expenses, spending categories) are processed to generate your status tier and cost insights. This data is stored securely and is never shared with third parties for advertising purposes.
4. Data Sharing
We may share data with trusted service providers who help us operate the platform (e.g. cloud hosting, analytics). These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and may not use it for their own purposes.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. You may also object to certain processing or request a copy of your data. Contact us at hello@akost.com to exercise these rights.
8. Cookies
Atakost uses cookies and similar technologies to maintain your session and improve your experience. You can control cookie settings through your browser, though disabling them may affect platform functionality.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of significant changes via email or a notice on the platform. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
10. Contact Us
If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, contact us at hello@akost.com or 21 Bayode Oluwole Street, off Balogun Street, Ikeja.
