We have adopted this Privacy Policy to provide you with detailed explanation of the type of information that may be collected on our website, how we use this information and under what circumstance(s) we may disclose such information to third parties.
It is however important to note that this privacy policy applies only to information we collect via our website.
This Privacy Policy set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our website and it strictly complies with the standards set by the Data Protection Act of 2023 and the Regulations made pursuant to it.
We have a team of competent and dedicated staff who are saddled with the responsibility of ensuring at all times, the safety and integrity of your personal data which are in our possession and under our control.
We collect, process, transmit and use your personal data to enable us deliver the service that you seek. Your personal data also enable us to identify and recommend services which you might be interested in. We disclose the purposes of collecting your personal data at or prior to the point of collection of the data. There are instances where the purposes for which we collect your personal data are apparent and, under such circumstances, the purposes shall be deemed implied. Such instances may include, but not limited to, where the nature of the service requires disclosure of name, mobile number, address, email address and or details required to process a payment which is a condition precedent for delivery of the service that you requested.
Except otherwise required by law, your permission is a prerequisite to our collection, usage, transmission and disclosure of your data. It is solely within your discretion to volunteer or withhold any personal information from us. However, withholding some information may hinder the provision of the service requested by you or diminish its quality. We will not ask for your consent to collect, process, use, transmit and disclose your personal data, except same is relevant to the service requested by you.
We will only ask you to grant us consent to collect, process, use, transmit and disclose your personal data which are necessary for us to offer the service requested by you. We may obtain such data from you in person, over the telephone, via mail, facsimile, or the internet.
Subject to the law for the time being in force in Nigeria, our usage, transmission and disclosure of your personal data shall be limited to the purpose for which same was collected, unless you vary your initial consent to accommodate another purpose. Your personal data shall be retained by us for such duration as is necessary to offer the service for which they were obtained. The nature of some services we render require that we transmit or disclose some of your personal data to third parties. By requesting such services, you expressly grant us consent to share such data with the parties and absolve us of any liability that a breach of such data by the third party may give rise to.
We shall store your personal data in manner that maintains its accuracy and completeness for the purpose for which it was obtained.
In furtherance of our commitment to securing your personal data, we deploy contemporary and reliable technology and cybersecurity software to safeguard them from loss and unauthorised access, usage, processing, transmission or disclosure.
We will not transfer your data beyond the shores of Nigeria without your consent. Such consent may be implied if the nature of service sought by you necessarily entails the disclosure and or transfer of such data to a foreign entity. Except expressly demanded by you, we will only share your data with a foreign entity in a jurisdiction whose minimum standard for the protection of data does not fall below what is obtainable in Nigeria.
You may submit a request for information on the existence, use, processing, transmission, duration of retention and disclosure of your personal data. We shall, upon such request, furnish you with the information sought. Note that your right to access the aforementioned information is subject to any applicable law for the time being in force in Nigeria, legal restrictions and or supervening right of a third party.
