Privacy Policy

Introduction

Ried Management Consulting (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of our clients, website visitors, and all individuals who interact with our business. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data in accordance with the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and applicable Nigerian law.

Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you:

• Submit an enquiry through our website contact form (name, email address, phone number, business name, and message content)
• Contact us via WhatsApp, email, or telephone
• Schedule a consultation through our Calendly booking system
• Engage our professional services under a consulting agreement

We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes. Our website does not collect browsing data, IP addresses, or device information beyond what is standard for website hosting through Netlify.

How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to your enquiries and provide the information you have requested
• To schedule and conduct consultations
• To deliver the professional services you have engaged us to provide
• To communicate with you about your engagement, including progress updates and deliverables
• To comply with our legal and professional obligations

We will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Client Confidentiality

All information shared with us during a consulting engagement — including financial records, business operations data, and investigation findings — is treated as strictly confidential. This obligation of confidentiality extends beyond the duration of the engagement and is a fundamental principle of our professional practice. We will not disclose client information to any third party without your explicit written consent, except where required by Nigerian law or a court order.

Data Storage and Security

We store your personal information securely and take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Contact form submissions are processed through Formspree, a secure third-party form handling service. Consultation bookings are managed through Calendly. Both services maintain their own privacy and security standards.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law and professional standards. Contact form enquiries are retained for up to 12 months. Client engagement records are retained for a minimum of six years in accordance with professional accounting and auditing standards in Nigeria.

Your Rights

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information
• Request deletion of your personal information, subject to our legal and professional retention obligations
• Withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal information at any time

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below.

Third-Party Services

Our website uses the following third-party services: Formspree (contact form processing), Calendly (appointment scheduling), and Netlify (website hosting). Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing the handling of data processed through their platforms. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.
