Privacy notice
Last updated 12 November 2026.
Draft, not yet in force.
Afrant is in a free, invitation-only pilot and its company is being registered in Hong Kong. This page describes how Afrant works today and what we intend. It will be reviewed by a lawyer and will name the company before anyone is charged.
Who this covers
This notice covers people who visit this website, join the waiting list, or use Afrant as a member of an organisation's workspace.
What we collect
- Account details: your email address and the name you give.
- Waiting list: your email address and, if you give them, your name, organisation and country.
- Invitations: the email address of a person you invite, and the fact that you invited them.
- Your organisation's content: the documents you upload, the facts taken from them, grants, drafts, tasks, and your conversations with the assistant.
- Questions to the help assistant: the question you type and the answer given, with a scrambled form of your network address so that one visitor cannot overuse it. Please do not type personal details there.
- Usage of the AI: how many AI requests each workspace makes and what they cost, so that we can set fair limits.
- Errors: when the software fails, a technical report of what failed.
We do not use advertising trackers and we do not sell personal data.
What we use it for
- To provide the service: signing you in, finding grants that fit, drafting, reminding.
- To keep it safe and working: preventing abuse, fixing faults.
- To write to you about your account, an invitation, or a place from the waiting list.
Who can see your organisation's content
Only the members of your workspace. One workspace cannot read another's documents, facts, grants or conversations. A small number of Afrant staff can reach the systems that hold the data in order to run and repair the service, and do so only for that purpose.
Uploaded documents often contain personal details of the people you serve. Before a document is sent to the AI, Afrant masks personal details it recognises, such as names, phone numbers and identity numbers. Masking is automatic and can miss things, so please do not upload records you are not permitted to share with a service provider.
Where it is kept, and who handles it
The database and uploaded files are stored in the European Union. To provide the service we use the companies below. Each handles data only on our instructions.
| Company | What it does for Afrant | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Database, sign-in and file storage | European Union (Ireland) |
| Vercel | Hosts the website and the app | United States and its global network |
| Anthropic | The AI that reads documents, answers questions and drafts text | United States |
| Voyage AI | Turns passages of your documents into a search index | United States |
| Inngest | Runs scheduled jobs, such as checking for new calls | United States |
| Sentry | Reports software errors to us. Errors only; no screen recording | United States or European Union |
When email sending, payments or usage analytics are added, the companies that provide them will be added to this list before they are used.
AI and your content
Afrant does not use your content to train AI models. Text is sent to the AI providers named above only to produce the answer or draft you asked for.
How long we keep it
- Your organisation's content: for as long as the workspace exists. An owner can ask us to delete the workspace, which deletes its content. Once paid plans begin, a workspace whose plan has ended is kept for 30, 60 or 90 days, depending on the plan, and then deleted.
- Waiting-list details: until you are invited or ask to be removed.
- Error reports: for a limited period, then deleted automatically.
Your choices
You can ask for a copy of your personal data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. You can also object to a use of it. Depending on where you live, laws such as the Kenya Data Protection Act, the Nigeria Data Protection Act, South Africa's POPIA or the GDPR may give you further rights, including the right to complain to your data protection authority.
Cookies
Afrant sets only the cookies it needs: one that keeps you signed in and one that remembers which workspace you last used.
Contact
During the pilot, write to the person who invited you or reply to any email from Afrant. A dedicated privacy address will be published here when Afrant's domain is in place.
