Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how GeekWorks Consulting Ltd (we, us, our), which operates joelokpapi.com and the JuneGeeks brand, collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data when you visit the site, browse or buy from the shop, subscribe to the newsletter, book a call, or contact us. We handle personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) and the regulations of the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC).
Who we are
GeekWorks Consulting Ltd, based in Abuja, Nigeria, is the data controller for personal data collected through joelokpapi.com. For any privacy question or to exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@joelokpapi.com.
Information we collect
Contact form submissions (name, email, and message), newsletter sign-ups (email address), booking requests (name, email, and scheduling details), and purchase information at checkout (name, email, and billing details). Payment details are handled by our payment processors, and we do not store full card numbers ourselves. We also collect technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and usage data through cookies and analytics.
Lawful basis for processing
Under the NDPA we process personal data on one or more of the following bases: your consent (for example, subscribing to the newsletter), performance of a contract (to fulfil an order or deliver a service you requested), compliance with a legal obligation, and our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the site and business, balanced against your rights and freedoms.
How we use your information
We use your information to fulfil and deliver orders and services, respond to enquiries and booking requests, send newsletter updates where you have opted in, process payments, keep the site secure, and understand and improve how the site is used. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
Payment processors and third parties
Payments are processed by Paystack and Flutterwave for customers in Nigeria and Africa, and by Stripe or PayPal for international buyers. Each processor handles your payment data under its own privacy policy. We may also use analytics tools such as Google Analytics, along with email and scheduling services, to run the site. These providers act either on our instructions or as independent controllers for the data they handle.
International transfers
If you buy from outside Nigeria, or if we use service providers located abroad, your personal data may be transferred outside Nigeria. Where this happens, we take the steps required by the NDPA to ensure your data remains adequately protected.
Cookies
The site may use cookies for essential functions, to remember checkout sessions, and for analytics. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, to meet our legal, tax, and accounting obligations, and to resolve any disputes. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.
How we protect your data
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access, in line with the NDPA and the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention) Act 2015.
Your rights
Under the NDPA you have the right to be informed about how your data is used, to access a copy of your data, to correct inaccurate data, to request deletion, to restrict or object to processing (including direct marketing), to withdraw consent at any time, and to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@joelokpapi.com and we will respond within the timeframe set by law.
Complaints
If you believe your personal data has been mishandled, please contact us first at privacy@joelokpapi.com so we can help. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) through its website at ndpc.gov.ng.
