Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

JBS Worldtech Ltd (RC: 8040272) is a construction, design, finishing, furnishing and property development business based in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria. For personal data covered by this notice, JBS Worldtech Ltd generally acts as the data controller. Our registered address is 15, Ogunwenyi Street, Off Ugbor Village Road, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria.

2. Information we collect

We may collect information you provide when you contact us, request a quote, ask about a property, submit a property listing, communicate through WhatsApp or email, or otherwise use our website. This may include your name, phone number, email address, location, project requirements, budget information, property details and the content of your communication.

We may also receive technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and website interaction data, subject to our Cookies Policy and applicable consent requirements.

3. How we use information

• Responding to enquiries, preparing proposals and delivering requested services.
• Managing client, supplier, contractor and property-related relationships.
• Communicating about appointments, project updates, service information and administrative matters.
• Maintaining website security, preventing misuse and improving user experience.
• Meeting legal, regulatory, accounting, tax, dispute-resolution and record-keeping obligations.
• Sending marketing communications only where permitted and, where required, with your consent.

4. Lawful bases and fairness

Depending on the context, we may process information because it is necessary to perform or prepare a contract, to comply with a legal obligation, for our legitimate business interests where those interests do not override your rights, or because you have given consent. We will not use personal data for incompatible purposes without a lawful basis and appropriate information about the new purpose.

5. Sharing and international transfers

We may share relevant information with professional advisers, technology and hosting providers, payment or communication providers, contractors, agents, consultants, regulators, courts or law-enforcement bodies where necessary and lawful. We do not sell personal information.

Some service providers may process information outside Nigeria. Where this occurs, we will take reasonable steps to use appropriate contractual, technical and organizational safeguards and to comply with applicable Nigerian and international transfer requirements.

6. Retention and security

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, ongoing business records, legal claims, tax and regulatory obligations, or legitimate relationship management. Our current retention schedule is: general website and project enquiries for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact; unsuccessful quote or proposal records for up to 24 months after closure; client, contractor and vendor records for the relationship plus up to 7 years after the last transaction or as required for tax, accounting, limitation and dispute purposes; active project records for the project term plus up to 7 years after completion or termination; and property listing records for up to 24 months after removal or the last meaningful activity, unless a longer period is needed for a transaction, complaint, fraud investigation or legal obligation. Marketing preferences and suppression records may be kept for as long as necessary to respect your opt-out.

We review retention periods periodically and securely delete, anonymise or restrict information when it is no longer needed. We apply reasonable access controls, confidentiality measures and technical safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

7. Your rights

Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity verification, you may ask for information about our processing and request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent where consent is the basis. You may also object to direct marketing. Some rights may be limited where we must retain information or protect legal rights.

We aim to respond without undue delay and generally within one month for requests covered by GDPR-style requirements, subject to lawful extensions or different timelines under applicable Nigerian law. You may complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission or another competent supervisory authority where you believe your rights have been infringed.

8. Children and third-party websites

Our website is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children. Please do not provide a child's personal information unless you are authorized to do so. Our website may link to third-party websites or platforms; their privacy practices are governed by their own notices.

9. Updates

We may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, technology or legal obligations. The effective date at the top of this page will show when the latest version took effect.
