- To generate pre-filled WhatsApp messages that connect you directly with property agents.
- To maintain a record of verified inspections for safety and quality control.
- To improve our platform's user experience and property verification process.
4. Payment Processing
All inspection fee payments are processed securely through **Paystack**, a third-party payment gateway. Campus Rent does not store your credit card details, CVV, or bank login credentials. Paystack is PCI-DSS compliant, ensuring your financial data is handled with industrial-grade security.
5. Data Security & Retention
