Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Glufloat is run by GluFloat, based in Lagos State, Nigeria. For any privacy question, contact us at glufloat@gmail.com.

2. What we collect

The current version of Glufloat is built to collect as little as possible:

• Your account: the name and email you give us when you sign up, and your password, which is kept in a scrambled form we cannot read. We also keep the date your free trial started and whether your membership is active.
• Checkout details (name, email, payment) are collected and processed by our checkout partner, Paystack, and their payment providers. We receive confirmation of your membership, not your full card number.
• Foods you search and meals you build stay on your own device. We do not store them on our servers in this version.
• A count of blog visits, explained in the next section. It holds no personal information at all.
• Basic, anonymous usage information may be collected to keep the site working and improve it.

3. How we count blog visits

We count how many people open each blog post, how many read it to the end, and how many go on to make an account. This is how we learn which posts are useful and which are not.

To do it, we store only this:

• Which post was opened, and whether the reader reached the bottom or clicked the free-trial button.
• A random number your own browser makes up for itself. It is not your name, your email, or your address. It is there only so that if you open the same post five times, we count one person and not five.
• If you later make an account, we keep a note of the first blog post you landed on, so we know which post brought you to us.

We do not store your name, your email, your location, your IP address, or anything that could point back to you as a person. We do not follow you around other websites, and we do not sell any of this. If you clear your browser storage, the random number is gone and you start again as somebody new.

4. Sensitive (health) information

Using a diabetes food guide can hint at your health status, which counts as sensitive personal data under the NDPA. We treat this with extra care:

• We only use it to give you the food guidance you asked for.
• We never sell it.
• You can clear it from your device at any time.

5. Why we use your information

• To give you the service you signed up for (contract).
• To take payment for your subscription (contract).
• To keep the app safe and working, and to improve it (legitimate interest).
• To meet our legal duties in Nigeria (legal obligation).

6. We do not sell your data

We do not sell your personal information to anyone. We only share it where needed: with our checkout partner to process your subscription, with trusted service providers who help us run the app (for example hosting), and with authorities if the law requires us to.

7. Where your data is kept

Data may be stored or processed on servers inside or outside Nigeria. When data leaves Nigeria, we take the steps required by the NDPA to make sure it stays protected.

8. How long we keep it

We keep information for as long as your membership is active, and for a reasonable period after, to meet legal, tax, and accounting duties. When it is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

9. Your rights under the NDPA

• Ask what data we hold about you and get a copy.
• Correct data that is wrong.
• Ask us to delete your data.
• Withdraw your consent at any time.
• Object to certain uses of your data.
• Complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) if you are not satisfied.

To use any of these rights, contact us at glufloat@gmail.com. We will respond within the time the NDPA requires.

10. Children

Glufloat is not made for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. If we make an important change, we will tell you on the site or by email. The “last updated” date at the top shows the latest version.
