6. Sharing & Cross-Border Transfers

We share data with service providers (hosting, CDN, analytics, email, payments, security) under confidentiality and data protection obligations; with authorities where required by law; and with the community when you publish content (e.g., display name on posts).

If data is processed or stored outside Nigeria, we apply appropriate safeguards consistent with NDPA (e.g., contractual clauses and adequacy assessments).

Subject to law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability (where applicable), or object to certain processing. You may withdraw consent at any time for non-essential processing.

To exercise rights, email gabriel@legacybygabriel.com. If unresolved, you may contact the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC).

9. Security & Breach Notification

We use HTTPS, access controls, least-privilege, monitoring, and periodic reviews. No method is 100% secure. If a breach likely to risk your rights occurs, we will notify affected users and, where required, the NDPC within the statutory period. Report incidents to gabriel@legacybygabriel.com.

10. Cookies & Similar Technologies

Manage preferences via our cookie banner or your browser. You may withdraw consent at any time.
