Welcome to Precious Adeleke (referred to as “I,” “me,” “my,” or “the Website Owner”). This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, store, protect, and disclose personal information when you visit my website at thepreciousadeleke.com.ng, contact me, request my services, or engage me for a website development project.
I provide professional website design and development services, including WordPress website development, Shopify store development, website redesign, search engine optimization (SEO), website maintenance, and related digital services.
I respect your privacy and am committed to handling your personal information responsibly and transparently. This policy is intended to explain what information I collect, why I collect it, how I use it, when it may be shared, and the rights you may have regarding your personal information.
By using this website, you acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to read this Privacy Policy. Where applicable law requires consent for a particular activity, I will seek that consent separately. Visiting this website does not automatically constitute consent to every form of data processing described in this policy.
Depending on how you interact with my website and services, I may collect the following categories of information.
When you contact me, request a quotation, complete a form, or engage my services, I may collect:
Full name.

Where possible, provide access credentials through secure methods rather than ordinary email or public messaging channels.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights or permissions to share any personal information, images, documents, or other materials you provide for your project.
When you engage my services, I may collect billing details and payment-related records necessary to issue invoices, confirm payments, manage deposits, reconcile transactions, and maintain business records.
Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers or financial institutions, depending on the payment method agreed upon.
I do not intend to collect or store your complete payment card details, card security codes, or online banking passwords on this website. Such information should be submitted directly to the relevant payment provider through its secure payment process.
Third-party payment providers may process your information under their own privacy policies and terms.
When you visit this website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by the website, hosting provider, or other services in use. This may include:
Internet Protocol (IP) address.
Browser type and version.
Device type and operating system.
Pages visited and links clicked.
Date and time of access.
Referring website or source.
Approximate geographic location inferred from your IP address.
Website performance, error logs, and security-related information.
This information may be used to understand website performance, identify technical problems, prevent fraudulent activity, and maintain website security.
The exact information collected depends on the technologies and services active on the website.
If you contact me through a contact form, email, telephone, WhatsApp, or another communication channel, I may retain the information you provide and relevant correspondence.
This may include enquiries, project discussions, quotations, feedback, complaints, and customer support requests.
I use this information to respond to you, maintain appropriate business records, and provide the services you request.
This website may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential website functionality, remember preferences, improve performance, measure website traffic, or support marketing activities.
The specific cookies used will depend on the website configuration and the services or integrations enabled.
Further information is provided in the Cookies section of this Privacy Policy.
I may use your personal information for the following purposes:
I use your contact details and enquiry information to respond to questions, discuss your requirements, provide service information, and prepare quotations or proposals.
I may use project-related information to plan, design, develop, test, maintain, troubleshoot, and deliver websites or other digital services you request.
I may use your information to communicate project updates, request necessary materials, manage revisions, schedule meetings, provide support, and maintain records of agreed project requirements.
I may process billing and transaction information to issue invoices, confirm deposits, reconcile payments, manage refunds where applicable, and comply with relevant accounting or legal obligations.
Technical information may be used to detect suspicious activity, investigate errors, prevent unauthorised access, protect the website, and enforce applicable terms.
Where appropriate, I may use technical and usage information to understand how visitors interact with my website, identify areas for improvement, and enhance the quality and performance of my services.
Where permitted by applicable law, I may use your contact information to send service updates, business announcements, relevant offers, or other marketing communications if you have subscribed or otherwise authorised such communications.
You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe option provided or contacting me directly.
Opting out of marketing communications will not prevent me from sending essential messages concerning an existing project, contract, payment, or service.
I may process or disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable laws, respond to lawful requests, maintain required records, establish or defend legal claims, or protect my legal rights.
Where applicable data protection law requires a lawful basis for processing, I will rely on the basis appropriate to the circumstances.
These may include:
Consent: Where you have freely agreed to a specific activity, such as certain marketing communications or non-essential cookies where consent is required.
Contractual necessity: Where processing is necessary to respond to your request before entering into a contract or to perform an agreement with you.
Legal obligation: Where processing is necessary to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
Legitimate interests: Where processing is necessary for legitimate business purposes, such as securing the website, managing enquiries, preventing fraud, or improving services, provided those interests do not override your applicable rights.
Legal claims and other recognised grounds: Where processing is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or where another lawful basis recognised by applicable law applies.
The applicable legal basis depends on the information involved and the purpose for which it is processed.
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the withdrawal.
I do not sell your personal information to third parties.
However, I may share relevant information in the following circumstances.
I may use trusted third-party providers to operate my website, deliver my services, or manage business operations. These may include:
Website hosting providers.
Domain registrars.
Email and business communication providers.
Website analytics and security services.
Cloud storage and file-sharing providers.
Payment processors.
Scheduling, form, and customer support tools.
Accounting or invoicing services.
These providers may process information on my behalf or independently under their own terms and privacy policies. Where required, appropriate safeguards and contractual arrangements will be used.
Where necessary to deliver a project, I may share relevant information with a hosting provider, domain registrar, technical specialist, or another service provider involved in the project.
I will seek to limit the information shared to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant task.
I may disclose personal information where required by applicable law, a valid court order, or a lawful request from a competent authority.
I may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to protect my rights, investigate suspected fraud, address security incidents, or protect individuals from harm.
If my business or its relevant assets are transferred, reorganised, or acquired, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable legal requirements and appropriate privacy protections.
Because I operate from Nigeria and may work with clients and service providers in other countries, personal information may be processed or stored outside your country of residence.
For example, a hosting provider, email service, analytics platform, or payment provider may operate servers in another country.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, I will take steps appropriate to the circumstances and applicable law to ensure that the transfer is lawful and that appropriate safeguards are in place where required.
Depending on the applicable legal framework, these safeguards may include recognised transfer mechanisms, contractual protections, or other permitted arrangements.
If you would like further information about international transfers relevant to your personal information, you may contact me using the details provided at the end of this policy.
I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
Generally:
General enquiries: Retained for as long as necessary to respond to the enquiry and maintain relevant business records.
Client and project records: Retained for the duration of the engagement and for a reasonable period afterward to manage support, disputes, contractual obligations, and legitimate business needs.
Invoices and financial records: Retained for the period required by applicable tax, accounting, and other legal obligations.
Website access and security logs: Retained according to the applicable hosting, security, and operational requirements.
Marketing information: Retained until you unsubscribe, withdraw consent where applicable, or the information is no longer needed for the relevant purpose.
Technical and analytics information: Retained according to the configuration and retention settings of the relevant tools.
When personal information is no longer required, I will take reasonable steps to delete it, anonymise it, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal obligations and legitimate retention requirements.
I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss, destruction, or misuse.
Depending on the systems in use, these measures may include:
Website security tools and software updates.
Access restrictions and password protection.
Secure connections using HTTPS where configured.
Limiting access to personal information to those who need it.
Using reputable hosting and third-party service providers.
Maintaining appropriate backups where available.
Reviewing access permissions and removing access when it is no longer necessary.
However, no website, online platform, electronic communication method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Although I take reasonable precautions, I cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted over the internet.
If a personal data breach occurs, I will take appropriate steps in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

This website may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, payment providers, or other external services.
If you follow an external link, your interaction with that website or service will be governed by its own privacy policy and terms.
I do not control the privacy practices, security measures, or content of independent third-party websites and services.
I encourage you to review the applicable privacy policies before providing personal information to any third party.
Depending on your location and the applicable data protection law, you may have some or all of the following rights.
You may request confirmation of whether I process your personal information and request access to the information held about you.
You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
You may request deletion of your personal information where the applicable legal conditions are met.
This right may be subject to exceptions, including legal recordkeeping obligations or the need to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Where applicable, you may object to processing based on legitimate interests or to certain other processing activities.
You may also object to direct marketing at any time, subject to applicable law.
Where the relevant legal requirements are satisfied, you may request a copy of certain personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format or ask for it to be transmitted to another provider where technically feasible.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect processing lawfully carried out before the withdrawal.
You may lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority if you believe your personal information has been handled unlawfully.
For individuals in Nigeria, the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) is the national data protection authority.
If you are located in another country, you may also have the right to contact the supervisory authority responsible for your jurisdiction.
To exercise an applicable right, please contact me using the contact details provided below.
I may need to verify your identity before responding to a request to protect your personal information against unauthorised disclosure.
I will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. Some requests may be subject to lawful exceptions or limitations.

My website and professional services are primarily intended for businesses, professionals, and individuals seeking website development or related digital services.
This website is not intentionally designed to collect personal information from children without the necessary legal basis, consent, or authorisation required by applicable law.
If you believe a child has provided personal information through this website in circumstances where it should not have been collected, please contact me so that I can review the matter and take appropriate action.
I recognise that website development projects may involve confidential business information, unpublished content, customer information, login credentials, and other sensitive project materials.
I will use such information for the purposes of the agreed project, technical support, administration, or other purposes authorised by you or permitted by law.
I will take reasonable steps to avoid unauthorised disclosure of confidential project materials.
If your project requires additional confidentiality obligations, a separate non-disclosure agreement or contractual confidentiality clause may be appropriate.
Please avoid sending sensitive personal information through ordinary contact forms unless it is necessary and the form is suitable for handling it.
My website development services may involve platforms such as WordPress, Shopify, domain registrars, hosting providers, payment gateways, analytics services, and other third-party tools.
When I develop or maintain a website for a client, I may access information necessary to perform the agreed work.
The client remains responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing personal information collected through their own website, except to the extent that applicable law assigns responsibilities differently.
Clients are responsible for publishing appropriate privacy notices, configuring their website’s data collection and consent tools, and complying with the data protection obligations applicable to their own business.
Where I process personal information on a client’s behalf, the parties may need a separate data processing agreement defining their respective responsibilities.
This Privacy Policy applies to my own website and business activities. It does not automatically replace the privacy policy required for a website I build for a client.
I may showcase completed website projects in my professional portfolio to demonstrate my experience and services.
Where a project or testimonial identifies a client, contains confidential material, or includes personal information that requires permission for public use, I will obtain the necessary authorisation or establish another lawful basis before publishing it.
I will not intentionally publish private client credentials, confidential documents, or restricted project information as portfolio material.
If you believe information about you or your business has been published inappropriately, please contact me to request a review.
I do not intend to use personal information collected through this website to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.
If this practice changes and applicable law requires additional disclosure, I will update this Privacy Policy and provide further information where required.
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in my business practices, website functionality, technology, service providers, or applicable legal requirements.
When changes are made, I will update the “Last Updated” date displayed at the beginning of this page.
Where required by applicable law, I will provide additional notice or seek consent before introducing material changes to how personal information is processed.
