Privacy Policy

Bluehydra (also trading as Bluehydra Labs) is a software development agency operating from Nigeria. We are the data controller for the information described in this policy.

You can reach us at bluehydra001@gmail.com or +234 913 310 5749.

We only collect information you give us directly, plus limited technical data gathered automatically when you browse the site. We do not buy personal data from third parties.

We do not collect payment card details on this website. Where a project involves payment, it is handled directly between you and us or through a separate payment provider.

We use the information above to:

• →Reply to your enquiry, prepare quotes, and schedule consultations.
• →Deliver and support the projects our clients engage us for.
• →Administer the referral programme, including verifying referrals and paying rewards.
• →Review Founders' Five applications and notify applicants of the outcome.
• →Send you emails that relate to something you started — your referral link, your booking confirmation, or an application update.
• →Measure the performance of our adverts and understand which pages people find useful.
• →Meet our legal, accounting, and record-keeping obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not rent or trade our enquiry list to anyone.

Where the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 or the UK/EU GDPR applies, we rely on the following grounds:

• →Consent — when you submit a form, book a consultation, or accept advertising cookies.
• →Contract — when we process information in order to deliver work you have engaged us for.
• →Legitimate interests — to secure our systems, keep basic business records, and understand how our site is used.
• →Legal obligation — where tax or other law requires us to retain records.

We use a small number of trusted providers to run this site. They process your data on our instructions only.

• →Supabase — database hosting for referral sign-ups and applications.
• →Google (Gmail and Google Calendar) — receiving and sending enquiry emails, and creating consultation events and invitations.
• →Resend — delivering calendar invitations for booked consultations.
• →Meta (Facebook) Pixel — measuring advert performance and website conversions.
• →Our hosting provider — serving the website and holding short-lived server logs.

We may also disclose information where the law requires it, or where it is necessary to establish or defend a legal claim.

We use the Meta Pixel on this website. It sets cookies in your browser and reports page views and specific actions — such as opening the contact page or submitting the contact form — back to Meta. Meta may use this to show you our adverts and to build audiences of people with similar interests.

You can limit this by using your browser's cookie controls, by enabling a tracking-protection or ad-blocking extension, or by adjusting your ad preferences in your Facebook or Instagram account settings.

Our providers operate data centres outside Nigeria, including in the European Union and the United States. This means your information may be transferred and stored outside your country of residence. We choose providers that offer recognised safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, for those transfers.

We keep enquiry emails and consultation records for as long as the relationship is active, and for up to three years afterwards so we can pick up a past conversation and meet our record-keeping obligations. Referral records are kept while the programme runs and for two years after your last referral, so payouts can be verified. Application records are kept for two years after the outcome is communicated.

You can ask us to delete your information sooner. See section 9.

You can ask us to:

• →Tell you what personal information we hold about you and give you a copy.
• →Correct anything that is wrong or out of date.
• →Delete your information, where we are not required to keep it.
• →Stop using your information for a particular purpose, including marketing.
• →Withdraw consent you previously gave, at any time.

Email bluehydra001@gmail.com with the subject line "Privacy request". We respond within 30 days. If you are in Nigeria and are unhappy with our response, you may complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.

The site is served over HTTPS, credentials for our email, database, and calendar services are held as server-side environment variables and never exposed to the browser, and access to our database and inbox is limited to the people who need it. No system is perfectly secure, but if a breach affects your personal information we will notify you and the relevant authority as required by law.

This website is intended for business audiences and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, contact us and we will delete it.

We update this policy when our practices change. The date at the top always reflects the current version. If a change materially affects how we use your information, we will make that clear on this page.
