Blipit Privacy Policy

Welcome to Blipit. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, process, and protect your information when you visit our website, use our marketplace platform, or contract with us.

By registering an account or accessing our services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with any terms of this policy, please discontinue use of the platform immediately.

We collect information you provide directly to us as well as data gathered automatically through your use of the marketplace.

Blipit uses collected information to operate, maintain, and optimize Nigeria's premier advertising marketplace. Specifically, this includes:

• Creating and managing your user and dashboard accounts.
• Verifying listings, platform spaces, and advertiser authenticity.
• Facilitating reservation bookings and campaign scheduling.
• Processing transactions via our secure payment gateway.
• Settling dashboard earnings payouts to ad space owners.
• Dispatching transaction, booking, and support updates.
• Preventing malicious activities, fraud, and terms violations.
• Complying with applicable legal and taxation regulations.

We do not sell your personal data. However, to operate the marketplace, we share relevant information with verified infrastructure and third-party service providers, including:

• Database & Hosting Providers: Supabase and Vercel.
• Payment Processing Platforms: Paystack.
• Communication Services: Email and SMS notification dispatch systems.
• Government Authorities: Where disclosure is mandatory under Nigerian law.

All online payments on Blipit are securely processed by our third-party provider, Paystack.

Blipit does not store, capture, or have access to your complete card numbers, bank PINs, or security credentials. Payment transactions are executed directly within Paystack's PCI-DSS compliant secure frame.

We use cookies and local storage tokens to deliver basic functions. These include:

• Essential Cookies: Required to keep you authenticated in your dashboard.
• Preference Cookies: Used to remember local state (like guest wishlist items).
• Security Cookies: Deployed to track authentication events and restrict CSRF attacks.

You can configure your browser to reject all cookies, but doing so will prevent you from accessing dashboard areas or logging into your account.

We store your data for as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide our services. We also retain financial records, disputes documentation, and account transactions to meet tax reporting obligations, prevent fraud, and comply with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

We implement industry-standard administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. This includes SSL/TLS transport encryption, multi-factor database authentication, and role-based console access controls. While we take every effort to secure your information, please note that no internet transmission is ever 100% secure.

In accordance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA), you have specific rights concerning your personal information:

• The right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• The right to correct inaccurate or incomplete profile records.
• The right to request deletion of your account and personal records.
• The right to restrict or object to certain processing metrics.
• The right to withdraw consent for voluntary processing operations.

To exercise any of these rights, please email us directly at blipit.ng@gmail.com.

Blipit is a business-to-business platform intended only for adult professionals and entities. We do not knowingly collect, request, or maintain information from children under the age of 18.

Our platform may contain links to external resource sites or map providers. Blipit does not operate these third-party platforms, and their respective privacy practices are governed solely by their own legal frameworks.

Blipit utilizes globally distributed cloud architectures (such as Supabase servers and Vercel CDN networks). Your data may be processed, transferred, and stored on servers located outside Nigeria. We ensure all external processors maintain compliance standards aligned with the NDPA.

We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time. If modifications are made, we will adjust the "Effective Date" at the top of the policy page. Substantial updates will be accompanied by a notification modal on your dashboard.
