This policy explains what we collect through www.ikrets.com and in the course of our business, why we collect it, how we handle it, and the rights you have over it.

We process personal data in accordance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) and the General Application and Implementation Directive (GAID) 2025 issued by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC).

For the purposes of the NDPA, the data controller is:

What We Collect

We collect only what we need to respond to you and to do our work.

  • Information you give us: When you contact us through the website, by email, or by phone, we collect your name, email address, telephone number, and the content of your message or enquiry.

  • Project and client information: Where we work with you, we hold the contact and project details necessary to design, quote, deliver, and account for the work.

  • Correspondence: Records of our communications with you, so we can manage your enquiry or project.

  • Technical information: When you visit the site, our servers and any analytics or security tools may automatically record limited technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages viewed. This is used to keep the site running, secure, and functional.

We do not seek to collect sensitive personal data through this website, and we ask that you not send it to us through the contact form.

Why We Process It, and on What Lawful Basis

We rely on one or more of the lawful bases recognised under Section 25 of the NDPA:

  • Consent: For example, when you submit an enquiry or opt in to receive information from us.

  • Performance of a contract: To provide the engineering, construction, or investigation services you engage us for.

  • Legitimate interests: To respond to enquiries, run and secure our website, and manage our business, where this is not overridden by your rights.

  • Legal obligation: To meet our accounting, tax, and regulatory duties.

We use your data to reply to your enquiries, prepare quotations, deliver and administer projects, keep our website secure and working, and comply with the law. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to function are used on the basis of legitimate interest. Any non-essential cookies—for example, basic analytics—are used only where you have consented through the cookie notice presented on the site, in line with the GAID. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies, and you can change your browser settings to manage or delete cookies at any time.

Sharing and Disclosure

We share personal data only where necessary, and only with:

  • Service providers who host, secure, or support our website and business operations, under obligations of confidentiality.

  • Professional advisers such as accountants or lawyers, where required.

  • Authorities and regulators, where we are required to disclose information by law or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Storage and International Transfers

We are a Nigerian company whose team and technical providers may operate from outside Nigeria, and our website may be hosted on servers located abroad. Where personal data is transferred outside Nigeria, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is protected to the standard required by the NDPA—relying on an adequate destination, appropriate safeguards, your consent, or another basis permitted under the Act.

How Long We Keep It

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, to maintain our business records, or to meet a legal obligation—after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.

How We Protect It

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures—access controls, secure configuration, and sound handling practices—to guard against loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. In the event of a personal data breach that meets the threshold under the NDPA, we will notify the NDPC, and affected individuals where required, within the timeframes the law sets.

Your Rights

Under the NDPA, subject to the conditions in the Act, you have the right to:

  • Be informed about how we use your data.

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.

  • Rectify data that is inaccurate or incomplete.

  • Erase your data where there is no lawful reason for us to keep it.

  • Restrict or object to our processing, including objecting to direct marketing.

  • Request data portability, where applicable.

  • Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.

  • Not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing.

  • Lodge a complaint with the NDPC.

To exercise any of these rights, write to contact@ikrets.com. We will respond within the period required by law. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Nigeria Data Protection Commission at ndpc.gov.ng.

Children

Our website and services are directed at businesses and professionals, not children, and we do not knowingly collect the personal data of children.
