  2. What we share and why
    We share data only as needed to run the Site and comply with law:

    • Business transfers: if we undergo a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, data may transfer under the same privacy commitments.

We do not sell personal data.

When data are no longer needed, we delete or anonymize them.

  1. Security
    We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures (encryption in transit, access controls, vendor due diligence). No method is 100% secure, but we work to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss. If a breach posing risk occurs, we will notify the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) and affected users where required.
