Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information BioOrbit (bioorbit.com.ng) collects, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Who we are

BioOrbit is owned and operated by Zeez in Nigeria and is responsible for the personal data described in this policy. You can contact us at [email protected].

Information we collect

Information you give us

• If you use our contact or corrections forms, or email us: your name, email address, website (if you enter one) and the content of your message.
• If you leave a comment: your name, email address, website (optional) and the comment text.
• If you subscribe to email notifications about new posts or comments: your email address.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, we and our service providers may collect your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, the pages you view, the site you came from, the date and time of your visit, and approximate location derived from your IP address.

How we use information

We use personal information to:

• Reply to messages and handle correction requests
• Publish and moderate comments, and filter spam
• Send email notifications you have asked for
• Understand how the site is used and improve it
• Keep the site secure
• Show advertising, where ads are displayed
• Meet legal obligations

Legal basis

We process personal data where you have given consent, where it is necessary to respond to your request, where we have a legitimate interest in running, securing and improving the site, or where the law requires it.

Comments

When you comment, WordPress stores the name, email address, website, comment text, IP address and browser information you submit. Your email address is not published. Your name and comment, and your website link if you entered one, may be shown publicly. If you tick the box to save your details, WordPress sets cookies so you do not have to re-enter them; these last up to a year. Comments may be checked by automated spam-filtering tools. We may remove comments that break our Terms.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use:

• Functional cookies, such as those that remember your comment details if you choose.
• Analytics cookies and similar technologies from Google Analytics and Jetpack.
• Advertising cookies from third-party ad partners, where ads are displayed.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work as intended if you do.

Analytics: Google Analytics and Jetpack

We use Google Analytics and Jetpack (provided by Automattic) to measure traffic and understand which content readers find useful. These services collect information such as pages viewed, referral sources, device and browser type, and approximate location. Jetpack may also provide security, performance and subscription features for this site.

• You can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
• Learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services: How Google uses information.
• Jetpack and Automattic’s practices are described in Automattic’s Privacy Policy.

Advertising

We may display ads from third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, may place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons to collect information when ads are served on this site. This lets them show ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

You can manage personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings or opt out of many other ad networks at aboutads.info. BioOrbit does not control the cookies set by third-party advertisers, and this policy does not cover their practices.

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only with service providers that help us run the site, such as our web host, Jetpack/Automattic, Google, and spam-filtering and email-delivery tools, or when the law requires it.

International transfers

Some of our service providers process data outside Nigeria. We rely on those providers’ own safeguards and policies.

How long we keep information

We keep messages for as long as needed to handle your request. We keep comments until they are deleted. Analytics data is kept for the period set in our Google Analytics and Jetpack settings. We delete or anonymise personal data we no longer need.

Your rights

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and other applicable laws, you may have the right to be informed about how your data is used, and to request access to it, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, portability, or to object to processing or withdraw consent where we rely on it. To make a request, email [email protected]. You may also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may have additional rights under local law.
