4. Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable under the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 and other relevant frameworks, we process personal data based on one or more of the following grounds: your consent, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, protection of vital interests, and our legitimate interests in operating a secure defense technology business — provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
5. Defense and Government Data
Given the nature of our industry, certain information may relate to defense procurement, security clearances, operational requirements, or classified-adjacent program details. We treat such information with heightened safeguards and restrict access to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis. We do not publish customer operational data or mission-specific configurations without explicit written authorization.
6. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell personal information. We may share data with:
- Service providers (hosting, email delivery, analytics, CRM) under contractual confidentiality obligations
- Professional advisors (legal, audit, insurance) bound by professional duty
- Regulatory authorities, law enforcement, or courts when required by law
- Affiliated entities or acquirers in connection with a merger, acquisition, or restructuring
- Authorized distributors or integration partners involved in fulfilling your request, with appropriate safeguards
7. International Data Transfers
Kinetic Aegis primarily processes data in Nigeria. If information is transferred internationally — for example, to cloud infrastructure or partner organizations abroad — we implement appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements, and transfer impact assessments consistent with NDPA requirements.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including legal, accounting, export compliance, and dispute resolution requirements. Contact inquiry records are typically retained for three years. Employment records follow applicable labor law retention periods. Security logs may be retained for up to twelve months unless a longer period is required for investigation.
9. Security Measures
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the data we handle, including encryption in transit (TLS), access controls, secure development practices, CSRF protection, rate limiting, and employee confidentiality training. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. You may also have the right to data portability and to lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC).
To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@kineticaegis.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law, typically within 30 days.
11. Children’s Privacy
Our website and services are not directed to individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us for prompt deletion.
