Who is responsible for your information

This website is operated by BZDV Limited ("BZDV", "we", "us"). For the purposes of the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, BZDV Limited is the data controller for information submitted through this site. Questions about this notice, or about information we hold, go to hello@bz-dv.com.

What we collect

When you use the contact form we collect only what you provide: your name, work email, company, role, company size, the nature of your inquiry, your intended use, your timeline, and any message you write. We do not ask for sensitive personal data as defined in the Act, and we ask you not to include confidential client information in the free-text field.

If you message us on WhatsApp, we receive your WhatsApp number, the name on your WhatsApp profile and the messages you send. WhatsApp carries them under its own terms.

When you use our free tools, including the Structure Check, your answers stay in your own browser and are not sent to us. If you choose to send your details at the end of the Structure Check so that we can reply about your result, we collect your name, your email address or WhatsApp number, your company if you give it, what you would like from us, when you would like to act on it if you say, for a platform demo what you would run on the platform, how you would run it and how many people would use it, anything you choose to write, whether you asked for updates, the time you gave consent, how you reached the site (the name of the referring website or the campaign tags in the link, never the full address), and a summary of your result: your industry, business type, size, role, how long the business has been operating, your Structure Score and level, how much is in place in each area, every gap the check found with how you answered it (No, Partly or Not sure), and up to three things you said are already in place. We do not receive your answers to any other question. If you message us on WhatsApp from the result, the message includes the summary of your result shown before you send it.

If we later collect anonymous data from the tools to improve the questions, we will update this notice before it starts, and answers will only ever be shared if you tick a box to share them.

Through privacy-respecting analytics we collect aggregate, non-identifying usage data such as pages viewed and general location at country level. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking.

Why we collect it, and on what basis

We use what you submit for one purpose: to understand your inquiry and respond to it, or, for the Structure Check, to reply about your result and follow up on it. If you also tick the box for updates, we send you occasional updates and new free tools until you ask us to stop. Our lawful basis under section 25 of the Act is your consent, given when you choose to submit the form, together with our legitimate interest in responding to a business inquiry addressed to us. You may withdraw consent at any time by emailing us, and withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out.

We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for marketing unless you separately ask to hear from us.

Who processes it for us

Form submissions are delivered through Formspree, a form-processing service that transmits your message to our inbox. Analytics is provided by Plausible, which is designed to be privacy-first and does not build personal profiles. Both act as data processors on our behalf under their own terms. Access to inquiries inside BZDV is limited to the people who need it in order to respond.

How long we keep it

We keep inquiry information for twenty-four months from your last contact with us, so that we can handle the inquiry and maintain a reasonable business record. After that it is deleted. If an inquiry becomes an engagement, the relevant records are kept under the terms of that engagement instead.

Transfers outside Nigeria

Our service providers may process data outside Nigeria. Where that happens we rely on the adequacy and contractual safeguards those providers maintain, consistent with the cross-border transfer provisions of the Act. If you would prefer to reach us without using the form, email us directly at hello@bz-dv.com.

Your rights

Under the Act you have the right to be informed about how your information is used, to access it, to have inaccurate information corrected, to have it erased, to restrict or object to how it is processed, to receive it in a portable form, and to withdraw consent. Email hello@bz-dv.com and we will respond within one month.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC), the supervisory authority established under the Act.

Changes

We may update this notice as our practices develop. The date shown above is the current version.
