Cookies & Data Privacy Policy

Who we are

CyberShield and IT Solutions Limited ("CyberShield-IT", "we", "us") is a cybersecurity, governance, risk and compliance company based in Lagos, Nigeria. We are the data controller for personal data collected through this website. You can reach us at info@cybershield-it.com or +234 (0)811 111 6079.

What we collect

We collect very little, and only what you hand to us directly:

• Newsletter subscription — your email address, used solely to send the CyberShield-IT monthly newsletter.
• Contact enquiries — your name, email address and message when you write to us through the contact page or by email.
• Cookie preference — your accept/decline choice, stored in your own browser's local storage so we do not ask on every visit.

We do not run analytics trackers, advertising pixels or third-party profiling on this site, and we do not sell or share your data with marketers.

Cookies and browser storage

This site uses no tracking cookies. The only storage we use is a single essential entry in your browser's local storage that records your cookie-banner choice (cs_cookie_consent). It stays on your device, is never transmitted to us, and you can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

Lawful basis

We process your data on the basis of your consent (newsletter subscription, cookie preference) and our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries you send us, consistent with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

How long we keep it

Newsletter email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Contact enquiries are kept for as long as needed to handle the enquiry and any resulting engagement, then deleted or anonymised.

Your rights

You may at any time:

• request a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
• ask us to correct or delete it;
• withdraw consent (including unsubscribing from the newsletter) — withdrawal takes effect immediately;
• lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC).

To exercise any of these rights, email info@cybershield-it.com with the subject line "Data privacy request".

Unsubscribing from the newsletter

Every newsletter email carries an unsubscribe link. You can also unsubscribe directly from the footer of any page on this site: enter your email address and choose "Unsubscribe". Your address is removed from the list immediately.

Security

This site is served over HTTPS with HSTS. Access to subscription and enquiry data is restricted to authorised personnel, and we apply the same security standards to our own systems that we recommend to clients.

Changes to this policy

If we change what we collect or how we use it, we will update this page and revise the "last updated" date above. Material changes will be flagged in the newsletter.
