Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how damiowolabi.com ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information in connection with this website and the services offered through it, including strategic advisory, speaking and training engagements, and the BrandForge courses, roundtables, and community programmes. By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

We collect information in the following ways:

Information you provide directly

When you submit an inquiry, register for a waitlist, or book a paid course or service, we collect the information you enter into the relevant form. Depending on the form, this may include your name, email address, phone number, location, and the content of any message you send us.

Payment information

For paid bookings, we retain a record of which course or service was purchased, the amount charged, and a payment status and reference number provided by our payment processor. We do not collect, process, or store your full card number, expiry date, or security code. Card details are entered directly on our payment processor's own secure checkout page and are never transmitted to or held by us; we receive only a payment confirmation and a masked summary of the card used (for example, its first six and last four digits).

Information collected automatically

If website analytics is enabled, we may collect general, aggregated information about how visitors use this website — for example, which pages are viewed, time spent on the site, referring pages, general device or browser type, and an approximate geographic location derived from IP address. This information is statistical in nature, is not used to identify you personally, and is entirely separate from any information you submit through a form. Analytics is not active unless it has been explicitly enabled, and can be disabled at our discretion at any time.

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries and communicate with you about our services
• Process and confirm bookings, and issue payment receipts and confirmations
• Provide onboarding and follow-up details for courses, sessions, or events you have registered or paid for
• Maintain records for bookkeeping, tax, and administrative purposes
• Monitor, maintain, and improve the performance and security of this website
• Understand, in aggregate, how visitors use this website, where analytics is enabled

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties, and we do not use it for third-party advertising purposes.

This website uses a limited number of cookies. A functional cookie is used to maintain an authenticated administrative session for site management purposes; this cookie is not used to track visitors and is not accessible to the public. Where website analytics is enabled, our analytics provider may set its own cookies, or use comparable technology, to distinguish between visitors and compile aggregate usage statistics.

Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Doing so may affect certain functionality of this website.

We engage a small number of specialist third-party service providers to help us operate this website and deliver our services. Each provider is granted access only to the information necessary to perform its function, under terms that restrict its use of that information to the purpose for which it was engaged. These providers include:

• A payment processor, which handles card and bank transfer payments on our behalf. Card details are provided directly to the payment processor and are not accessible to us.
• An email delivery provider, which sends transactional emails such as booking confirmations, receipts, and responses to inquiries on our behalf.
• A website analytics provider, where analytics is enabled, which processes aggregated usage data as described in Section 2.

We do not otherwise share your personal information with third parties, except where required by law, to protect our legal rights, or in connection with a business transition such as a merger or sale of assets, in which case affected users would be notified.

We retain personal and payment-related information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including ongoing bookkeeping, customer support, and compliance with applicable legal, tax, or regulatory obligations. Where information is no longer required for these purposes, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise it.

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect the information we hold against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Access to administrative systems is password-protected, and payment card data is handled exclusively by our payment processor rather than by us. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You may request confirmation of what personal information we hold about you, request that inaccurate information be corrected, or request that your information be deleted, subject to our legitimate need to retain certain records for legal, tax, or administrative purposes. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 11.

This website and the services offered through it are intended for individuals aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Continued use of this website after any changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, please contact us at [email protected].
