PRIVACY POLICY

1. Who we are

The Africa Plug has offices in Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria and London, United Kingdom. For any privacy question, email connect@theafricaplug.com.

2. What we collect

Enquiries and applications: your name, email, company, role, country, phone number if given, and what you tell us in a form, including Work With FK applications and T.A.P IN submissions or expressions of interest.

Purchases and bookings: what you bought or booked, the date, and your billing details. Card payments are handled by Stripe; we never see or store your full card number.

Digital products: when your download link was opened, so we can manage access and refund requests.

Email updates: your email address if you sign up for T.A.P IN opportunity alerts, new blog articles, a product waitlist or general updates.

Technical information: your IP address, browser, device, pages visited and similar data recorded by our hosting and security services.

Cookie choices: whether you accepted or declined optional analytics.

3. Why we use it

To respond to enquiries, assess applications, deliver products and services, take payments, send updates you asked for, keep the site secure and meet our legal obligations. Under UK and Nigerian data protection law, our legal grounds are: taking steps at your request before a contract, performing a contract, our legitimate interest in running the business, your consent where needed, and legal obligations.

4. Who we share it with

We never sell your information. We share only what’s needed with the services that run the site:

• Vercel (hosting)
• Resend (email)
• Cloudflare Turnstile (spam protection)
• Stripe (payments)
• Google (calendar bookings, invites and video calls)

5. T.A.P IN

When you express interest in an opportunity, we don’t pass your details to the lister automatically. We review interest and make introductions ourselves, with your agreement.

6. International transfers

Some of these services process data outside your country. Where the law requires it, we use appropriate safeguards, such as approved contract terms.

7. How long we keep it

Enquiries and applications: up to 24 months after our last contact.

Purchase, booking and payment records: as long as tax and accounting law requires.

Email updates: until you unsubscribe.

8. Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your information, though no system is completely secure. Please don’t send card details, passwords or sensitive documents by email.

9. Your rights

You can ask to access, correct or delete your information, object to or restrict how we use it, receive a copy, or withdraw consent. Email connect@theafricaplug.com; we may need to confirm your identity. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK, the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, or the regulator where you live.

10. Children

Our services are for adults and businesses. We don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

11. Other websites and changes

Links to other websites are covered by their own privacy policies. We’ll update this policy as our services change, and the date above shows the current version.
