Nigeria AgroGrow ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at nigeriaagrogrow.net and provides agricultural consulting, supply chain logistics, and market intelligence resources for Nigerian agribusinesses. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle Personal Data in accordance with the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) 2019, the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, and other applicable Nigerian law.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

Information You Provide Directly

When you use our contact form, you may provide your name (optional), email address, and a message. We collect only what you voluntarily submit. We do not require phone numbers through our web form.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit nigeriaagrogrow.net, certain technical information is collected automatically. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. This data is collected through server logs and, where you have consented, through analytics cookies.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to operate the website and, with your consent, to understand how visitors interact with our content. You can manage your cookie preferences through the consent panel that appears when you first visit the site. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the NDPR 2019 and the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, we process Personal Data on the following lawful bases:

• Consent: Where you have freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent — such as when accepting non-essential cookies or submitting a contact form with the privacy checkbox ticked.
• Legitimate Interests: Where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. This applies to server log analysis for security purposes.
• Compliance with Legal Obligations: Where processing is required to comply with applicable Nigerian law or regulatory requirements.
• Performance of a Contract: Where you engage us for consulting services, processing your contact details to respond to your enquiry.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Responding to enquiries submitted through our contact form
• Providing consulting services and delivering requested resources
• Operating and maintaining the technical functionality of nigeriaagrogrow.net
• Analysing website usage patterns to improve content and usability, where you have consented
• Complying with legal obligations under Nigerian law
• Detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, or security threats

We do not sell, rent, or trade your Personal Data to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may engage trusted third-party service providers (such as web hosting and email delivery providers) who process data on our behalf under contractual data processing agreements consistent with NDPR requirements.
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose Personal Data where required by Nigerian law, court order, or lawful request from a competent authority.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of business assets, Personal Data held by us may be transferred to the relevant successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections.

6. International Data Transfers

Our primary operations and data storage are located in Nigeria. Where we engage service providers that process data outside Nigeria, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including contractual provisions that meet the standards required under the NDPR 2019. We do not transfer Personal Data to countries that do not offer adequate data protection without implementing appropriate safeguards.

7. Data Retention

We retain Personal Data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable Nigerian law. Contact form submissions are retained for a reasonable period to allow us to respond and maintain communication records. Server log data is retained for security and operational purposes for a limited period. Where data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

8. Your Rights Under the NDPR and Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023

As a data subject, you have the following rights regarding your Personal Data held by Nigeria AgroGrow:

• Right of Access: You may request a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to Erasure: You may request deletion of your Personal Data in certain circumstances, subject to legal retention obligations.
• Right to Object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
• Right to Lodge a Complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) or another competent Nigerian regulatory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within the timeframe required under applicable law.

9. Security of Your Data

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your Personal Data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission over HTTPS, access controls, and regular review of our security practices. No method of data transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take our obligations seriously and maintain reasonable safeguards.

10. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are directed at agricultural businesses and professionals. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will take steps to delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe a child has submitted personal information to us should contact [email protected].

11. Links to External Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites for reference purposes. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
