This privacy policy explains how BIZOO (“we”, “us”) collects and uses personal information when you visit heybizo.com, read our content, subscribe to our newsletter or contact us about a project. We process personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and, where it applies to you, the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation.
Information we collect
- Information you give us: your name, email address, company, service interest, budget range and message when you use our contact form; your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter.
- Usage information: pages visited, referring pages, approximate location, device and browser type, collected through analytics tools such as Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit).
- Article view counts: when you read a post we record an anonymous view against that article so we can show our most-read content. We do not link this to your identity.
- Chat: if you use our live chat (Chatway), the messages and details you share in the chat.
How we use your information
- To reply to enquiries and prepare proposals.
- To send newsletters you have subscribed to (you can unsubscribe at any time).
- To understand how our site is used and improve our content and services.
- To keep the site secure and prevent spam and abuse.
- To meet legal, tax and accounting obligations.
Legal bases
We rely on your consent (newsletter, non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (responding to enquiries, improving the site, security) and, where you become a client, the performance of a contract.
Affiliate links
Some articles contain affiliate links. When you click one, the partner or affiliate network (for example Awin) may set its own cookies to attribute any purchase to us. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies. See our affiliate disclosure.
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site and business, such as our hosting provider (Hostinger), email delivery, analytics (Google), live chat (Chatway) and image optimisation (Optimole), and where required by law.
International transfers
Some providers process data outside Nigeria, the UK or the EU. Where this happens we rely on appropriate safeguards offered by those providers.
How long we keep data
Enquiries are kept for up to 24 months unless you become a client, in which case records are kept as long as needed for the relationship and legal obligations. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, object to or restrict processing, and withdraw consent at any time. Email info@heybizo.com. You may also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission or your local data protection authority.
Children
Our site is intended for business users and is not directed at children under 18.
