1. Who we are
Motherland connects families abroad with independent professionals, verified by Motherland, who check and deliver property work in their home country. This policy explains what we collect on this public website and why. Questions go to privacy@gomotherland.com.
2. What we collect
When you join a waitlist:
- your email address
- the country you need help in
- what you need (for example, buying land or managing a property)
- where you live now, if you tell us
- the request you typed, if you chose to add one
- your town or area and when you expect to act, if you tell us
- your WhatsApp number, if you give it, and whether you asked for WhatsApp updates (a separate opt-in)
- referral data: your referral code, who referred you, and whether people you referred confirmed their place
When you sign up for the monthly digest: your email and the country you chose, and when you confirmed.
When you use the scam checker: the text you paste is sent to our AI provider to review and is not stored by us. Checklists you ask us to email are sent once; we don't keep your address.
When you apply as an expert: your name, email, phone number, country, city, profession, licence body and number, years in practice, languages, the services you offer and how you heard about us.
Analytics: only if you accept analytics cookies, we measure which pages and tools are used. We never send your email, name or request text to our analytics provider.
We store a one-way hash of your IP address to stop abuse. We never store the raw address.
3. Why we use it
- To run the waitlist: confirm your email, work out your place in the queue and credit referrals.
- To invite you when your country launches, in queue order.
- To vet expert applications.
- To improve the service, using analytics only with your consent.
4. Lawful bases
- Consent, for the monthly country digest, WhatsApp updates and analytics cookies. You can withdraw it any time.
- Legitimate interest, for running the waitlist and launch invitations you asked for, and for preventing abuse.
5. Who processes your data for us
- Supabase (database, EU region)
- Vercel (hosting)
- Resend (email delivery)
- PostHog (analytics, EU cloud, only with consent)
- Cloudflare Turnstile (bot protection)
- Twilio (sends your confirmation code on WhatsApp, only if you choose WhatsApp)
- Anthropic (the AI model behind the scam checker; pasted text only)
We don't sell your data or use it for ads. Experts don't see your details from the waitlist.
6. International transfers
Some processors may handle data outside your country. Where they do, we rely on safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
7. How long we keep it
Waitlist data is deleted 24 months after your last activity, or sooner if you ask. Expert applications are kept while we assess them and for as long as you are on the expert list.
8. Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, or object to how we use it. Email privacy@gomotherland.com. We follow applicable laws, including the GDPR and UK GDPR, Rwanda's law on the protection of personal data and privacy, and Kenya's Data Protection Act.
