Privacy policy

How TitleGard collects, uses, and protects data. This is a working template — have counsel review before launch.

Template only. This page reflects intended practice and must be reviewed against NDPR (Nigeria Data Protection Regulation) and, for EU users, GDPR before public launch. It is not legal advice.

What we collect

Account details (name, email), the property queries you run, and basic usage data needed to operate the service. We practise data minimisation — only fields needed to perform a search are stored, and personal data is separated from property data.

Lawful basis

We process personal data on the basis of your consent, performance of our contract with you, and our legitimate interest in operating and securing the service. Where GDPR applies, an appropriate lawful basis is identified for each processing activity.

Property & public records

Property intelligence is drawn from government registries, geospatial sources, and court records. We display data available in public records; full owner detail is shown only to authenticated users with a legitimate purpose.

How we use data

To resolve queries, generate reports and alerts, secure the platform, and improve data quality. We do not sell your personal data.

Retention

We retain personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, then delete or anonymise it.

Your rights

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion, subject to legal retention obligations
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Request a portable copy of your data
  • Withdraw consent at any time

International transfers

Where data is processed outside its country of origin (for example for EU users), we apply appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfer.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based, and all material actions are recorded in an append-only audit log.
