1. Who we are
buildwithdami is a community for people who build, learn, and share their work. This Privacy Policy applies to buildwithdami.com, our waitlist, and communications you have with us.
2. Information we collect
We may collect:
- Information you provide, such as your name, email address, interests, responses submitted through our waitlist form, and messages you send us.
- Basic technical information, such as IP address, browser, device, referral page, and access times, where this is recorded by our hosting or security providers.
- Community information, such as content, feedback, and participation details if you later join a buildwithdami community space.
Our current website does not use advertising cookies or build advertising profiles. If this changes, we will update this policy and request consent where required.
3. How we use information
We use personal information to:
- manage the waitlist and respond to enquiries;
- send requested updates about buildwithdami;
- operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve our website and community;
- understand interest in our programmes and plan future offerings; and
- meet legal obligations and protect our rights and users.
Depending on the activity and applicable law, we rely on your consent, the steps needed to respond to your request, our legitimate interests in running and securing the community, or a legal obligation. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing.
4. How we share information
We do not sell personal information. We may share the minimum necessary information with service providers that help us operate the Services, such as website hosting, email, forms, security, and community tools. Our waitlist is currently hosted using Google Forms, so information submitted there is also processed by Google under its own privacy terms.
We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect people or the Services, in connection with an organisational transaction, or where you direct or consent to the disclosure.
5. International transfers
Some providers may process information outside Nigeria. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards and take reasonable steps to ensure the information remains protected in line with applicable data protection law.
6. How long we keep information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including providing requested updates, maintaining records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations. Retention periods vary by the type of information. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it where reasonably practicable.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures to protect personal information. No online system is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.
8. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, including the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information; object to or restrict certain processing; withdraw consent; and request data portability. You may also lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.
To exercise a right, email hello@buildwithdami.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
9. Children’s privacy
The Services are not directed to children who cannot lawfully consent to the processing of their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us personal information without the required consent, please contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
10. Third-party links
Our website may link to third-party websites or services. Their privacy policies govern their handling of information, and we encourage you to read them before providing personal information.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our practices or legal obligations change. We will post the revised version here, update the date above, and provide further notice where required.
