We are Persist Tech Ltd ("we", "us", "our"). We are registered in Nigeria under company number 6883368 and our registered address is 3543 Bola Lateef Crescent, Lakeview Phase 1. We are registered in Nigeria and operate internationally.
We use personal data for our own purposes such as learning about visitors to our website.
One of our key offerings is the placement of skilled workers — employees and contractors — for a range of services required by both organizations and individuals.
2What Does This Policy Cover?
This Privacy Policy explains how we use personal data about our customers and visitors to our website. We aim to be transparent about our data practices regarding the personal data we may collect, use, maintain, and otherwise process.
By visiting our website or contacting us to perform certain services, we become the data controller for your personal data. Where we are involved in generating leads on behalf of a customer, our customer is the data controller and we act as their data processor.
3What Is Personal Data?
As defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the "GDPR"), personal data is any information about you that enables you to be identified. This covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but also less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers like your IP address.

- The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data.
- The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
- The right to have your personal data rectified if any of it is inaccurate or incomplete.
- The right to be forgotten — to ask us to delete your personal data in our possession.
- The right to restrict the processing of your personal data.
- The right to object to us using your personal data for particular purposes.
- The right of data portability — transfer of automated data upon request to another organization or individual.

7How Do You Use My Personal Data?
To provide you with information and services you request
We rely on our contractual arrangements with you as the lawful basis on which we collect and process your personal information. In some scenarios, we rely on our legitimate interests as a business.
To measure customer satisfaction and provide customer service
We rely on our legitimate interests as a business to respond to you and improve our services. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we always balance these against your rights.
For marketing communications
We may contact you with information about our services that we believe are relevant to you. We will only do so if we have your consent or can rely on a legitimate interest, and you can ask us to stop at any time.
To comply with legal obligations
In some cases we use your personal data because it's necessary to comply with a legal obligation, such as responding to a request from a law enforcement agency.
To detect, investigate, and prevent financial crime
We rely on our legitimate interests as a business to use your data for fraud prevention, risk management, and compliance-related obligations.
8How Long Will You Keep My Personal Data?
We do not keep personal data longer than is required for the purpose for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. The applicable retention period of approximately 180 days is linked to our purposes of processing your personal information.
9How and Where Do You Store My Personal Data?
Your personal data is stored on secure servers. Depending on the infrastructure we use, data may be hosted in different geographic regions — however, this is solely for the purpose of operating our services securely and reliably, not for transferring your data to any third party. We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure your data remains protected regardless of where it is hosted.
10How Do You Keep My Personal Data Secure?
We take the security of your data seriously and have put physical, technical, operational, and administrative strategies, controls, and measures in place to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss.
12How Can I Access My Personal Data?
You can ask us for details of your personal information in our possession — known as a "subject access request." Such requests must be submitted in writing by email or post. There is normally no charge, though an administrative fee may apply for repetitive requests.
We will respond within one calendar month of receiving your request. For complex requests, this may extend to three months, and we will keep you informed of our progress.
To protect your privacy, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
13Special Category Data
We do not knowingly process any special category data unless you give it to us. Special category data includes information about race, ethnic group, politics, religion, trade union membership, genetics, biometrics, health, sex life, or sexual orientation.
14Criminal Offense Data
We do not knowingly process any data about criminal convictions or offenses unless you provide it to us.
15Children's Data
We do not actively seek to collect information about children aged 16 or under. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected information about a child under the age of 16, we will delete it immediately. If you have concerns about your child's privacy in relation to our services, please contact us.
