Privacy Policy

We collect information in three ways: what you give us, what we gather automatically, and what we receive from other sources.

Information you give us

• Contact details you enter into our forms, such as your name, email address and the company you represent.
• The content of any message you send us, including enquiries about partnerships, client work, careers or the press.
• Any information you choose to include when you email us or subscribe to updates.

Information we collect automatically

• Technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system and language settings.
• Usage data such as the pages you visit, the links you click, and how long you spend on the site.
• Cookies and similar technologies, as described in our Cookie Policy. Non-essential cookies are only used with your consent.

Information from third parties

• Analytics providers who help us understand how the site is used.
• Professional networks and public sources, where you have made business contact details available and we are following up on a legitimate enquiry.

We use personal information to run our website and respond to you, never to build hidden profiles or sell you out.

• To respond to your enquiries and provide the information or introductions you ask for.
• To operate, maintain, secure and improve encrypse.com.
• To send you updates you have asked to receive, and to manage those subscriptions.
• To understand how the site is used so we can make it better.
• To protect our business and users against fraud, abuse and security threats.
• To meet our legal, regulatory and accounting obligations.

Where the UK GDPR, EU GDPR or the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 applies, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases to process your information:

• Consent: for example, when you opt in to marketing emails or agree to non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Contract: where processing is necessary to take steps you have requested before entering into an agreement, or to perform one.
• Legitimate interests: to run and secure our website and respond to business enquiries, balanced against your rights and freedoms.
• Legal obligation: where we are required by law to process or retain certain information.

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, we process personal data on the corresponding lawful bases set out in the Act, including consent, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, protection of vital interests, and legitimate interests.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. We share it only in these limited situations:

• Service providers who process data on our behalf under contract, such as hosting, email delivery and analytics partners. They may only use it to provide services to us.
• Other companies within the Encrypse group, where needed to respond to your enquiry or run our operations, subject to this policy.
• Professional advisers such as lawyers, accountants and insurers, where reasonably necessary.
• Authorities and regulators, where we are required to comply with the law, a court order or a lawful request.
• A buyer or successor, if we are involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.

Encrypse operates across the United States, Nigeria and the United Kingdom, so your information may be transferred to and processed in a country other than your own. Data protection laws in those countries may differ from the laws where you live.

Whenever we transfer personal information across borders, we put appropriate safeguards in place. For transfers subject to the UK GDPR or EU GDPR, we rely on adequacy decisions where they exist, or on Standard Contractual Clauses (with the UK International Data Transfer Addendum where relevant). For transfers subject to the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, we transfer personal data only where the destination provides an adequate level of protection or another lawful basis for transfer under the Act applies. You can contact us for more detail about the safeguards we use.

We keep personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, or for as long as the law requires.

• Enquiry and correspondence data: for as long as needed to deal with your request and for a reasonable period afterwards in case you contact us again.
• Marketing data: until you unsubscribe or withdraw your consent, after which we retain a minimal record to honour your choice.
• Analytics and technical data: for a limited period, usually in aggregated or de-identified form.

When we no longer need your information, we securely delete or anonymise it.

We take security seriously; it is one of the things we build products around. We use technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk, including encryption in transit, access controls, and limiting who can see your data to those who need it.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your personal information and the law requires it, we will notify you and the relevant regulator within the timeframes set by applicable law, including under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, the UK GDPR and applicable US state breach-notification laws.

Depending on where you live, you have rights over your personal information. We will not discriminate against you for exercising them.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@encrypse.com. We will verify your identity before acting and respond within the timeframes required by the law that applies to you. You may use an authorised agent where the law allows it.

We only send you marketing emails if you have asked to receive them, or where the law otherwise permits it. Every marketing email includes an easy way to unsubscribe, and we honour opt-outs promptly.

Our marketing practices are designed to meet the US CAN-SPAM Act, the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the direct-marketing provisions of the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.

This website is intended for a business audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in the United States, under 13 in the United Kingdom, or under 18 in Nigeria where parental consent has not been given.

If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

We use cookies and similar technologies to run the site and, with your consent, to understand how it is used. You can read the full detail, and manage your choices, in our Cookie Policy.

Our website links to our products and to third-party sites we do not control. This policy does not cover those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy notice of any site you visit.

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or the law. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page, and for significant changes we will take reasonable steps to let you know.

For any privacy question, or to exercise your rights, email info@encrypse.com or write to The Encrypse LLC, Suite 109, 3930 Fulton Dr NW, Canton, OH 44718, United States.

If you are in the UK or EU and are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. If you are in Nigeria, you may complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.
