Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of data when you visit or interact with our Site:

Automatically Collected Data When you browse the Site, we automatically receive certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, time and date of visits, and time spent on pages. This data is collected through cookies, log files, and third-party analytics tools.

Voluntarily Provided Data If you submit a contact form, leave a comment, or subscribe to any newsletter or update list on our Site, we collect the personal details you provide, such as your name and email address.

Third-Party Data We use third-party services that may independently collect data about your browsing behaviour. See the “Third-Party Services” section below for full details.

How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect for the following purposes:

  • To deliver, operate, and improve the Site and its content
  • To analyze Site traffic and user behaviour through aggregated analytics
  • To serve relevant advertisements via Google AdSense and Google Ad Exchange (AdX)
  • To respond to enquiries or messages you send us
  • To comply with our legal obligations

Our lawful bases for processing under GDPR are:

  • Legitimate interests — operating and improving the Site, and serving contextual content
  • Consent — for advertising cookies and analytics tracking where required
  • Legal obligation — where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help us and our partners understand how you use the Site.

Types of cookies we use:

Strictly Necessary Cookies — Required for the Site to function correctly. These cannot be disabled.

Analytics Cookies — Used to understand how visitors interact with the Site (e.g., Google Analytics). These help us improve content and user experience.

Advertising Cookies — Used by Google AdSense and Google AdX to display personalised or interest-based advertisements. These cookies may track your browsing activity across websites.

What you can do: You can control cookies through your browser settings or by using a consent management tool if one is displayed on our Site. Disabling advertising cookies will not remove ads — it will result in less relevant ads being shown.

Third-Party Services

We integrate the following third-party services on our Site:

Google AdSense / Google Ad Exchange (AdX) We display advertisements through Google’s advertising platforms. Google may use cookies and device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Google is an independent data controller for the data it processes through these services.

Google Analytics We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated statistics about Site traffic and usage. Google Analytics uses cookies and may process your IP address (which we have configured to be anonymised).

Google Fonts / External CDNs Some pages may load fonts or scripts from external CDNs (e.g., Google Fonts). This may expose your IP address to those providers.

We do not sell your personal data to any third party.

Data Retention

We retain automatically collected data (such as analytics logs) for no longer than 26 months. Data submitted through contact forms is retained for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry, after which it is securely deleted. Where we are required by law to retain data for a longer period, we will do so.

Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or a jurisdiction with equivalent rights (including Nigeria under the NDPR), you have the following rights:

  • Right of Access — Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Right to Rectification — Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Right to Erasure — Request deletion of your personal data (“right to be forgotten”)
  • Right to Restrict Processing — Request that we limit how we use your data
  • Right to Data Portability — Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format
  • Right to Object — Object to processing based on legitimate interests, including for direct marketing
  • Right to Withdraw Consent — Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at: [your-email@bio2026.com.ng]

We will respond to all verified requests within 30 days as required by GDPR.

Children’s Privacy

Our Site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data without parental consent, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete such data.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International Data Transfers

As we use services such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense, your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Nigeria or the EEA. Where such transfers occur, they are governed by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other appropriate GDPR-recognised safeguards adopted by those third-party providers.

Links to Other Websites

Our Site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. For significant changes, we will provide a more prominent notice.
