Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

LifeDev Health Technologies LTD (RC No. 9618458), referred to as “LifeDev Health”, “we”, “us”, or “our”, is responsible for the personal information described in this Policy. We advance public health through technology, research, consulting, programmes, and venture support.

Questions about this Policy or our use of personal information may be sent to hello@lifedevhealth.com.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide

• Contact enquiries: first and last name, email address, optional organisation, area of interest, and the contents of your message.
• Newsletter subscriptions: your email address and related subscription preferences, where newsletter registration is available.
• Direct communications: information you include when you email, call, partner with, or otherwise communicate with us.

Please do not submit medical records, patient information, passwords, financial details, government identifiers, or other sensitive information through the general contact form.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the website, our hosting and security systems may process limited technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, requested pages, date and time of access, referring page, and diagnostic or security logs. The current website does not use advertising pixels or analytics trackers.

Third-party content

The website loads fonts and icons from third-party content providers, including Google Fonts and Font Awesome. Those providers may receive technical information such as your IP address when their resources load. If you follow a link to LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, or another external website, that organisation’s privacy practices apply.

3. How and why we use information

We process personal information only where we have an appropriate legal basis, including consent, steps requested before entering a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate interests where those interests do not override your rights.

We may use your information to:

• respond to enquiries and communicate with you;
• assess partnership, consulting, research, programme, or venture opportunities;
• send updates you requested and manage subscription preferences;
• operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website;
• prevent spam, fraud, misuse, or security incidents; and
• meet legal, regulatory, accounting, and record-keeping obligations.

We do not sell your personal information or use it for third-party behavioural advertising. We do not make decisions about website visitors based solely on automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

4. Cookies

The current website does not intentionally place analytics or advertising cookies. Our hosting provider may use strictly necessary technologies for security, traffic delivery, or basic operation. If we introduce non-essential cookies in the future, we will update this Policy and, where required, request your consent before using them.

5. When we share information

We may disclose personal information only as reasonably necessary to:

• authorised LifeDev Health personnel who need it for their work;
• hosting, email, security, IT, and other service providers acting for us under appropriate obligations;
• professional advisers such as lawyers, auditors, or insurers;
• government, regulatory, law-enforcement, or judicial authorities where required or permitted by law; or
• a successor in connection with a merger, restructuring, financing, or transfer of all or part of our organisation, subject to appropriate safeguards.

Some providers may process information outside Nigeria. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to use a transfer mechanism and safeguards recognised by applicable data-protection law.

6. Retention and security

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including follow-up, dispute resolution, security, and legal obligations. Retention depends on the nature of the interaction. Newsletter details are generally retained until you unsubscribe; enquiry records are periodically reviewed and deleted or anonymised when no longer needed.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect personal information. No website, email transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

7. Children’s privacy

This general corporate website is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through it. A LifeDev Health programme involving children will use appropriate notices, permissions, and safeguards specific to that programme.

8. Your privacy rights

Subject to the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and other applicable law, you may have the right to:

• receive information about our processing and request access to your personal information;
• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• request deletion or restriction of processing in appropriate circumstances;
• object to certain processing;
• withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier lawful processing;
• request portability of eligible information; and
• raise concerns about solely automated decisions where applicable.

To exercise a right, email us using the address below. We may request information necessary to verify your identity and will respond within the period required by applicable law. You may also lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.

9. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes to the website, our practices, or applicable law. We will publish the revised version here and update the effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through another appropriate channel.
