10. Lawful Bases for Processing

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases:

Consent

We may rely on your consent for optional marketing communications, non-essential cookies, publication of certain testimonials or other activities for which consent is appropriate.

You may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Steps Before Entering Into a Contract

We process information to respond to your enquiry, understand your Project, prepare a proposal or quotation and take other steps you request before entering into a contract.

Performance of a Contract

We process information where necessary to provide Services, manage a Project, receive payment, deliver software, provide support and fulfil our contractual obligations.

Legal Obligations

We may process information to comply with accounting, taxation, court, regulatory, law-enforcement and other legal obligations.

Legitimate Interests

We may process information where necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

These interests may include:

  • Operating and improving our business;
  • Responding to legitimate business enquiries;
  • Maintaining Client and project records;
  • Protecting the Website and our systems;
  • Preventing fraud and abuse;
  • Improving our Services;
  • Understanding Website use;
  • Managing disputes;
  • Protecting our legal rights; and
  • Conducting proportionate business-to-business communications where legally permitted.

Vital or Public Interests

In rare circumstances, we may process Personal Data where necessary to protect a person’s vital interests or perform a task permitted or required in the public interest.

11. Idea Monetization and Automated or AI-Assisted Processing

Our Idea Monetization service may use human analysis, internally developed software, automated systems or artificial-intelligence-assisted tools to help:

  • Review a high-level business or software idea;
  • Categorise the submitted objectives;
  • Summarise the submission;
  • Identify potential business models;
  • Generate draft commercial opportunities;
  • Prepare recommendations; and
  • Improve the speed and consistency of the requested response.

Where third-party technology providers are used, they may process the submitted information only to the extent necessary to provide the relevant technology or service, subject to their contractual and legal responsibilities.

You should submit only high-level information that you are comfortable sharing for evaluation. Do not submit confidential source code, passwords, private keys, trade secrets, regulated records or sensitive Personal Data through a general idea-submission form.

Idea Monetization outputs are informational and advisory. We do not use the service to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about an individual solely through automated processing.

Where applicable law grants a right to human review or to object to a qualifying automated decision, you may contact us using the details in this Privacy Policy.

12. Comments and Gravatar

When visitors leave comments, we collect the information shown in the comment form, together with the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string to support moderation, security and spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address, sometimes called a hash, may be supplied to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use that service.

The Gravatar service is operated by Automattic. Its privacy policy is available at: Automattic Privacy Policy.

After your comment has been approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public in connection with your comment.

Comments may be checked through an automated spam-detection service. We may approve, reject, edit, restrict or remove comments in accordance with our moderation practices and applicable law.

Because comments are public, you should not include telephone numbers, home addresses, private account details, confidential information or sensitive Personal Data in a comment.

13. Media Uploads

If you upload images to the Website, you should remove embedded location data, including EXIF GPS information, unless you intend for that information to be public.

Visitors may be able to download publicly available images and extract location or other metadata contained within them.

14. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. We may also use pixels, local storage, tags and similar technologies.

We use these technologies to:

  • Operate essential Website functionality;
  • Remember your preferences;
  • Maintain login sessions;
  • Record cookie choices;
  • Secure forms and accounts;
  • Detect spam or abuse;
  • Understand Website performance;
  • Measure engagement; and
  • Support marketing or advertising where enabled and permitted.

Cookie Categories

The Website may use the following categories:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for core Website functionality, security, forms, login, consent records and session management.
  • Functional Cookies: Used to remember choices and provide enhanced features.
  • Performance Cookies: Used to understand and improve Website speed, reliability and functionality.
  • Analytics Cookies: Used to understand how visitors find and use the Website.
  • Advertising or Marketing Cookies: Used, where enabled and permitted, to measure campaigns or provide more relevant advertising.
  • Embedded-Content Cookies: Set by services that provide videos, maps, social media posts or other embedded content.

WordPress Cookies

Where applicable, WordPress may use cookies such as:

  • Comment cookies that save your name, email address and website for up to one year when you choose that option;
  • A temporary cookie used to determine whether your browser accepts cookies, which is normally removed when you close your browser;
  • Login cookies that normally last for two days;

  • Content-editing cookies that may last for approximately one day; and

Your Cookie Choices

Where required, non-essential cookies will be used according to the choices you make through our cookie banner or preference centre.

You may accept, reject or manage non-essential cookie categories. You may also change or withdraw your preference by reopening the cookie settings on the Website.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect Website functionality or your browsing experience.

Removing or withdrawing consent for cookies does not affect processing that was lawful before the preference was changed.

15. Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles and pages may contain embedded content such as videos, images, maps, social media posts, forms, documents or other external materials.

Embedded content may behave in the same way as though you visited the external website directly. The external provider may:

  • Receive your IP address and browser information;
  • Place cookies on your device;
  • Collect usage or interaction information;
  • Use tracking technologies;
  • Associate activity with your account on that service; and
  • Monitor how you interact with the embedded content.

The external provider’s privacy policy governs its processing. We encourage you to review the privacy information of any third-party service you use.

16. Newsletter and Direct Marketing

We may send newsletters, software-development insights, business information, service announcements, special offers and promotional communications where:

  • You have requested them;
  • You have provided valid consent;
  • They relate to an existing Client relationship and applicable law permits them; or
  • Another lawful basis allows the communication.

Requesting a consultation, quotation, Idea Monetization response or another specific service does not, by itself, require you to consent to unrelated promotional marketing where separate consent is required by applicable law.

You may stop receiving promotional emails by:

  • Using the unsubscribe link included in the email;
  • Replying with an unsubscribe request; or
  • Emailing office@nicholasidoko.com.

You may stop receiving promotional WhatsApp or SMS messages by replying “STOP” or contacting us through the details in this Privacy Policy.

After you unsubscribe, we may retain limited information on a suppression list to ensure that your marketing preference continues to be respected.

You may still receive non-promotional messages relating to an active enquiry, contract, payment, security issue, Project, support request or legal obligation.

Aggregated or Anonymised Information

We serve Clients internationally and use technology providers that may operate or store information in countries outside Nigeria.

Your information may therefore be accessed, processed or stored in Nigeria, the United States or another country in which we or our service providers operate.

Where Personal Data is transferred internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the transfer is supported by an appropriate lawful basis and that the information receives a level of protection required by applicable law.

Depending on the circumstances, safeguards may include:

  • Transferring information to a country recognised as providing adequate protection;
  • Using contractual data-protection obligations;
  • Using standard contractual clauses or similar approved mechanisms;
  • Conducting transfer or risk assessments;
  • Applying technical and organisational safeguards;
  • Obtaining consent where consent is a valid transfer basis; or
  • Relying on another lawful transfer exception.

You may contact us for further information about safeguards used for a particular international transfer where you are legally entitled to receive that information.

19. How Long We Retain Personal Data

We retain Personal Data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to satisfy contractual, support, accounting, legal, security and dispute-resolution requirements.

Our ordinary retention periods are described below. A different period may apply where required by law, an active dispute, a Client agreement or a valid legal hold.

Enquiries and Idea Monetization Submissions

General enquiries, consultation requests and Idea Monetization submissions that do not become active Client relationships may normally be retained for up to 24 months after the last meaningful interaction.

Client and Project Records

Project correspondence, proposals, contracts, approvals, specifications and related records may normally be retained for the duration of the Client relationship and for up to seven years after completion or termination.

Where an agreement includes continuing or lifetime support for delivered software, limited project records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide that support.

Financial and Accounting Records

Invoices, payment records, transaction references and accounting information may normally be retained for up to seven years or for any longer period required by applicable law.

Account information may be retained while the account is active and for up to 12 months after closure, subject to legal, security, backup and dispute-related requirements.

Routine server, access and security logs may normally be retained for up to 12 months. Relevant logs may be retained longer when connected to a security incident, fraud investigation, dispute or legal obligation.

Client credentials and privileged access information will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to complete the relevant work or provide agreed support.

Clients should revoke or replace temporary access and change passwords after handover, project completion or termination.

Cookie and Consent Records

Cookie preferences and consent records may normally be retained for up to 12 months or for the duration stated in the applicable cookie preference centre.

Backups

Deleted information may remain temporarily in secure backups until the relevant backup is overwritten or deleted according to our backup cycle. Information retained only in a backup will not ordinarily be restored except where necessary for security, disaster recovery or legal purposes.

Instead of deleting information, we may anonymise it so that it no longer identifies an individual.

20. How We Protect Personal Data

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful:

  • Loss;
  • Destruction;
  • Alteration;

These measures may include:

  • Access controls;
  • Authentication measures;
  • Restricted administrative privileges;
  • Software updates and security monitoring;
  • Backups and recovery procedures;
  • Confidentiality obligations;
  • Service-provider reviews;
  • Spam and abuse controls; and

No website, server, database, email system or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for protecting your own passwords, devices and account credentials.

If you believe your Personal Data or account has been compromised, contact us immediately at office@nicholasidoko.com.

Personal Data Breaches

Where we become aware of a Personal Data breach, we will assess the incident, take reasonable containment and remediation measures and notify affected individuals or the appropriate authority where notification is required by applicable law.

21. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law and your circumstances, you may have the right to:

  • Verify your identity;
  • Confirm that the information relates to you;
  • Protect Personal Data from unauthorised disclosure; and
  • Identify the systems or records involved.

We will respond within the period required by applicable law. We do not normally charge a fee for a valid request. A reasonable fee may be charged, or a request may be refused, where permitted by law and the request is manifestly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.

22. Children’s Privacy

The Website and our professional software development Services are not directed to children under 18 years of age.

We do not knowingly request or collect Personal Data directly from children through our general enquiry, newsletter or Idea Monetization forms without appropriate authorisation.

If you believe that a child has submitted Personal Data to us without proper authorisation, contact office@nicholasidoko.com. We will review the matter and take appropriate action, including deletion where required.

23. Client Projects and Personal Data Processed on Behalf of Clients

During software design, development, testing, deployment, maintenance or support, a Client may provide access to Personal Data contained in the Client’s systems.

Where we process that information solely on the Client’s documented instructions:

  • The Client will ordinarily remain the data controller;
  • We will ordinarily act as the data processor;
  • The Client is responsible for establishing a lawful basis for processing;
  • The Client is responsible for providing an appropriate privacy notice to its users;
  • We will process the information only for the agreed Services;
  • Access will be limited to persons who reasonably need it;
  • Confidentiality and security obligations will apply;
  • Service providers or subprocessors may be used where reasonably necessary;
  • Information will be returned, deleted or retained according to the applicable agreement and law; and
  • A separate data processing agreement may apply.

Clients should avoid using live Personal Data in development and testing environments where synthetic, masked or anonymised test data can reasonably be used.

This Privacy Policy does not replace the privacy policy that a Client must provide to the users of the Client’s own application, platform or service.

24. Third-Party Links

The Website may contain links to websites, services, social media platforms, payment providers or applications that we do not own or control.

We are not responsible for the privacy, security or content practices of an independent third party. You should review the third party’s privacy policy before providing Personal Data or using its service.

25. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our Website, Services, technology, business practices or legal obligations.

When we update the Policy, we will publish the revised version and change the “Last updated” date at the top of the page.

Where a change materially affects how we process Personal Data, we may provide additional notice through the Website, by email or through another appropriate communication channel.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
