1. Introduction
A Square L Innovate ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who interacts with our ecosystem — including visitors to our websites, students of the Academy, clients of Web Design Pool, and users of Business Systems and any future products.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and the rights you have over it. It applies to every A Square L Innovate application, product, and service.
By using our services, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in three ways:
Information you give us directly
- Name and email address (contact forms, newsletter signups, waitlists)
- Account details when you register for the Academy
- Messages, applications, and feedback you submit to us
- Payment information when you transact with us (processed by third-party providers)
Information collected automatically
- IP address, browser type, and device information
- Pages visited, time spent, and referral sources
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies
Information from third parties
When you sign in through a third-party provider or make a payment through our payment partners, we receive limited information about you from those services.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To provide and operate our services (delivering courses, processing requests, hosting applications)
- To communicate with you (responses to inquiries, product updates, security alerts)
- To improve our products (understanding what works and what doesn't)
- To comply with legal obligations and prevent fraud
- To send marketing communications — only when you've explicitly opted in
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers — trusted partners who help us operate (hosting, email, payments)
- Legal requirements — when required by law, court order, or government authority
- Business transfers — if we're ever merged or acquired, information would transfer to the new entity
- With your consent — whenever you explicitly authorize us to share
All service providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.
5. Data Security
We take the security of your information seriously. We employ:
- Encryption in transit (HTTPS everywhere) and at rest for sensitive data
- Access controls that limit who can see what data internally
- Regular security reviews and updates to our infrastructure
- Vetted third-party providers with strong security track records
No system is 100% secure. While we work hard to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you ever suspect a security issue, please contact us immediately.
6. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. When you delete your account, we remove or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable timeframe — except where retention is legally required (e.g., financial records).
7. Your Rights
Regardless of where you live, we extend the following rights to every user:
- Access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- Correction — request corrections to inaccurate information
- Deletion — request that we delete your personal information
- Objection — object to certain processing, including marketing
- Portability — request your data in a machine-readable format
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@asquarelinnovate.com. We respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days.
8. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand how our services are used, and improve your experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some functionality of our services.
9. Third-Party Services
Our services integrate with third-party providers for hosting, analytics, payment processing, and email delivery. Each of these providers has its own privacy policy. We choose partners carefully and require them to meet our standards, but we are not responsible for their independent practices.
10. International Transfers
A Square L Innovate operates from Nigeria but serves users globally. Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for any cross-border transfers.
11. Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed at children under 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and notify users of material changes. Continued use of our services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
