3. Who We Share Your Information With
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share your data only with trusted partners who assist us in delivering our services, and only to the extent necessary. These partners include:
- Payment processors: Companies like Flutterwave, Paystack, or Interswitch, which handle payment transactions securely (they only receive the data needed to process payments and do not use it for other purposes).
- Logistics providers: Local couriers (e.g., GIG Logistics, Aramex Nigeria) who deliver your orders (they receive your shipping address and contact number to complete delivery).
- Customer support tools: Platforms that help us manage support tickets (e.g., Zendesk), which may access your communication history with our team.
- Legal and regulatory authorities: If required by law (e.g., a court order, NITDA request) or to protect our rights, we may disclose your information to government agencies or law enforcement.
All third-party partners are bound by confidentiality agreements and are required to comply with Nigerian data protection laws. We do not share your information with overseas entities unless they meet equivalent data protection standards.
4. How We Protect Your Information
We take the security of your data seriously and implement technical, administrative, and physical measures to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or misuse:
- Encryption: Personal information (e.g., passwords, payment details) is encrypted using industry-standard protocols (e.g., SSL/TLS) when transmitted over the internet.
- Secure storage: Data is stored on secure servers with restricted access (only authorized Bryce Electronic staff can access your information, and they are trained on data protection practices).
- Regular audits: We conduct regular security checks and updates to our systems to address vulnerabilities and stay compliant with evolving regulations.
- Third-party vetting: We only work with partners who meet strict security standards and regularly review their practices to ensure they protect your data.
While we take all reasonable steps to secure your information, no online platform is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute protection against cyberattacks or human error, but we will notify you promptly if a data breach occurs that may affect your privacy (as required by NITDA).
5. How Long We Retain Your Information
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law. For example:
- Order and payment records: Retained for 7 years to comply with tax and legal obligations.
- Account information: Retained for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your data (except for records required by law, which will be stored securely).
