4. Contact Forms and Email Communications

This website uses a WordPress contact form to receive project enquiries. Information submitted through the form may be processed by WordPress and the form plugin used on the website.

Enquiries may be sent to my email inbox and stored in the website’s administrative dashboard, depending on the form configuration.

Please note that submitting a form does not automatically establish a client relationship or guarantee acceptance of a project.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website may use essential cookies or similar technologies needed for website functionality, security, and administration.

If analytics, advertising, embedded third-party content, or other non-essential tracking technologies are enabled, they may collect additional information about your use of the website. Where required by applicable law, appropriate consent will be obtained before using such technologies.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website features.

6. Third-Party Services

This website operates on WordPress and may rely on third-party providers for hosting, security, email delivery, spam prevention, analytics, embedded content, or form processing.

These providers may process information as necessary to deliver their services. Their own privacy policies and terms may also apply.

I do not control the privacy practices of independent third-party websites or services. Visitors should review the applicable policies before submitting information through those services.

7. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable data protection laws require a lawful basis for processing personal information, processing may rely on your consent, steps taken at your request before entering a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, or legitimate interests, as appropriate to the circumstances.

Where consent is relied upon, you may withdraw it, subject to applicable legal requirements and the consequences of withdrawal.

8. Data Retention

Personal information will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to enquiries, managing projects, maintaining appropriate business records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.

Enquiries that do not result in a project may be deleted when they are no longer reasonably needed, subject to applicable retention requirements.

9. Data Security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures will be used to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

However, no website, email service, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Sharing and Disclosure

Personal information will not be sold to third parties.

Information may be disclosed to service providers who help operate the website or deliver requested services, where legally required, or where disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, security, or legal interests.

Where appropriate, service providers should be subject to suitable confidentiality and data protection obligations.

11. International Data Transfers

Some website hosting, email, or third-party service providers may process information outside Nigeria or your country of residence. Where applicable law imposes requirements on international transfers, appropriate safeguards or other lawful transfer mechanisms will be used.
