Listings created by the team

To make African tech products known, the Africlaunch team also creates listings for products that their creators have not published themselves. Here is how we do it, and what the company concerned can decide.

Last updated: 25 October 2026

In short

  • We only gather public information about a product, each piece with its source.
  • The listing carries a notice saying that its creator has not validated it.
  • We then write to the company, which can claim the listing or have it deleted. Its silence never counts as agreement.
  • No data about any person is gathered.

1. Why these listings

Many tech products built in Africa or for Africa remain hard to find. To make them known and show what is being built on the continent, the team creates, as it discovers them, listings for products that are not yet on Africlaunch. These listings show no sponsored placement.

2. What we gather

We only gather public information, preferably from the product's official website:

  • the product's name, tagline, website, category and the countries it targets;
  • its pricing model, whether it is open source and, if so, the address of its code repository;
  • its logo, shown from the address where the company itself publishes it: we keep no copy of it;
  • the contact email address the company itself displays, so that we can write to it. It is never shown on Africlaunch.

Each piece of information is recorded with its source, meaning the address of the page where we read it, and the date. The description and the text on how the product helps people in Africa are written by the team from those sources, never copied.

3. What we never gather

No data about any person: no names of founders or employees, no photos of them, no phone numbers. The only email address we keep is the one the company displays to be contacted. We do not copy the texts of the company's website either.

4. How the listing appears

At the top of the listing, a notice says that the team compiled it from public information, on which date, that its creator has not validated it and that Africlaunch is not affiliated with them.

Until it is claimed, the listing has no owner and shows no reviews, comments or sponsored placements: it cannot be rated, commented on or sponsored.

5. How we let the company know

The team writes to the contact address the company displays or, if there is none, uses the contact form on its website. The message contains a personal link, valid for 30 days, to a page that shows each piece of information in the listing with its source.

This link is always sent to the company itself, never to anyone else. We only keep a fingerprint of it, which cannot be turned back into the link.

If you think a listing is yours, use the button in its notice: your request (name, email address, message) reaches the team, which checks it and then sends the link to the company.

6. What the company can do

  • Claim the listing: with an Africlaunch account whose email address is confirmed. The listing then becomes the company's: it can correct and complete it, make its launches on it and receive reviews and comments, like any listing. The contact address we gathered is erased.
  • Have it deleted: in one click from the link, without creating an account. The listing and its information are erased; we only keep the website's domain name, so that the listing is never created again.
  • Do nothing: the listing stays online with its notice. Silence never counts as validation. No listing is removed automatically: it stays until it is claimed or its deletion is requested.
  • Dispute a claim: if someone has wrongly claimed the listing, write to us from a professional address of the company: the team reviews the request and can give the listing back to the right person.
  • Correct information: by claiming the listing, or by writing to us with the correction and its source.

7. The data involved

  • The company's contact address: kept without being shown until the listing is claimed, then erased when it is claimed or deleted.
  • Requests sent from the notice: name, email address and message, kept like other messages to the team.
  • The link sent: a fingerprint of the link and the address it was sent to, in masked form.
  • After a deletion: only the website's domain name, so that the listing is not created again.
