Privacy Notice

This notice explains what personal data The Leverage Centre (leveragecentre.com) collects, why, and the choices you have. The Leverage Centre is operated by DBHQ (“we”), the data controller. We follow the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA). Contact: support@leveragecentre.com.

What we collect

• Account details: your name, email address and membership plan.
• Your profile: details you choose to give us so we can match you with opportunities, such as nationality, where you live, age range, education, career, your business (name, sector, stage, revenue band) and your goals.
• Your activity: opportunities you track, your notes and tasks, the results you record, and perks you mark as claimed.
• Payment records: what you paid, when, how (for example card or transfer) and the payment reference. Card and bank details are handled by our payment processor; we never see or store them. If you pay by card, we keep a token from our payment processor and the card's last four digits so your membership can renew; both are removed when you turn automatic renewal off.
• Chips: your balance and a history of chips added and used.
• Technical data: sign-in times, IP address and device type, used for security.

Why we use it

• To provide your membership: matching, tracking, reminders and perks (to perform our contract with you).
• To take payments and keep a record of them.
• To keep accounts secure and prevent misuse (our legitimate interest).
• To send service emails: sign-in codes, receipts, deadline reminders and renewal reminders. You can turn deadline reminders off at any time.
• To improve the service using aggregated, anonymised information.

We do not sell your personal data, and we never share it with opportunity providers without your explicit instruction.

Who processes it for us

We use service providers who help us host data, deliver email and process payments.

We use an AI service to read public web pages about opportunities. No member data is sent to it. Archie, our AI guide, is not available yet; what you send to Archie will be processed by an AI provider that does not use your data to train its models.

Where data is transferred outside Nigeria, we rely on the safeguards the NDPA requires.

How long we keep it

For as long as you have an account. If your membership ends, we keep your account so you can return without starting again; you can delete it at any time from your profile. When you delete your account, your data is removed straight away and leaves our encrypted backups within 14 days. Our payment processor keeps its own payment records for as long as the law requires.

Your rights

You can see, correct, download or delete your personal data from your profile at any time. You can also object to or restrict how we use it, and withdraw consent. Email support@leveragecentre.com and we will reply within 30 days. You can also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.

Security

Your data is stored on a secured server, sent over encrypted connections, and backed up in encrypted form. Sign-in uses single-use emailed codes rather than passwords. Only authorised staff can access member data, and admin actions are logged.

Changes

If we change this notice in a way that matters, we will tell you by email before the change takes effect.
