This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected and used when you visit brianewuzie.com, create an account, buy a course, contact us or use our online learning services. It applies to the Website as a whole, including its WooCommerce checkout and student area.
1. Who is responsible
The data controller is Ewuzie Media Limited, a company operating from Nigeria. Registered business address: 10 Onyenweaku Street, Umungasi, Aba, Abia State, Nigeria. Customer support: brian@brianewuzie.com. Privacy requests: admin@brianewuzie.com.
2. Information we collect
- Account information: name, email address, user name, password credentials stored in protected form, and account preferences.
- Purchase information: order identifiers, course purchased, price, currency, billing details, payment status, refunds and transaction records. Our payment processor handles payment-card details; we do not ordinarily store full card numbers.
- Learning information: course enrolment, lesson progression, completion indicators and activity needed to provide the online classroom.
- Communications: support requests, messages you send, and records of service or marketing emails as relevant.
- Technical information: IP address, browser/device details, access/security logs, cookies and similar identifiers; analytics information only where an analytics service is enabled.
- Voluntary material: information you choose to submit through a contact form, comments or another interaction facility, if available.
3. Sensitive information and spiritual reflections
This Website teaches spirituality, but we do not require you to disclose your religious beliefs, health circumstances or personal manifestation journal entries to purchase or complete the course. We recommend keeping personal worksheets and journals on your own device. Do not send sensitive information through support messages unless it is necessary for your request. If you voluntarily provide sensitive personal data, we will handle it according to any additional legal requirements.
4. Why we use information and our legal bases
- Contract: create an account, process your order, provide course access, record progress, deliver resources and respond to service requests.
- Legal obligations: maintain relevant tax/accounting records, deal with valid legal requests and comply with applicable laws.
- Legitimate interests, where allowed: prevent fraud, secure accounts, diagnose site errors, maintain service quality and defend legal claims, balanced against your rights.
- Consent, where required: send optional marketing messages and operate non-essential analytics/advertising cookies.
5. Service providers and sharing
We share only the information reasonably necessary for each function with service providers acting on our instructions or, where applicable, as separate controllers. These may include WordPress and WooCommerce (website and order management), Tutor LMS (learning progress), Flutterwave (payment processing), Brevo/FluentSMTP (transactional email delivery), Bunny Stream (hosted course video delivery), our hosting and backup providers, security services, and Google analytics tools or MailPoet if they are enabled. Service providers may have their own privacy notices.
We may also disclose information where legally required, to professional advisers under appropriate confidentiality arrangements, or to protect the Website and its users. We do not sell student personal data to advertisers.
6. Cookies and analytics
Essential cookies support login sessions, security, carts and checkout. Other cookies may be used for preferences, performance measurement, analytics or marketing only when enabled and permitted by applicable law. Where consent is required, we will present a choice before non-essential cookies are set, and provide a way to withdraw that choice. Browser settings also allow you to manage cookies, although disabling necessary cookies may prevent checkout or login.
7. Payments and fraud prevention
Checkout may redirect to or use payment services supplied by Flutterwave. The payment provider handles the relevant payment instruments and may perform fraud or compliance checks. We retain records needed to confirm payment, enrol students, respond to disputes and meet financial obligations. Payment-card processing is subject to the provider’s security practices and privacy notice.
8. International processing and transfers
We operate from Nigeria, while some infrastructure or providers may process data in other countries. Where international-transfer requirements apply, we will use a lawful transfer mechanism and any required safeguards.
9. Data retention
We keep account, enrolment and learning-progress records for as long as needed to provide your purchased course access, including any ongoing lifetime-of-course entitlement, and to protect legitimate security and legal interests. You may request account closure or deletion, subject to data we must retain to comply with law, resolve transactions or disputes, or exercise legal rights. We retain accounting and transaction records for at least six years after the relevant year of assessment, or longer where applicable law requires it. We retain support correspondence while needed to resolve requests or support legitimate legal claims, marketing preferences until you withdraw consent or the information is no longer necessary, and technical and security logs for periods proportionate to their purpose. Hosting backups follow controlled retention and deletion schedules. When information is no longer needed for its lawful purposes, we delete or anonymise it, subject to any lawful retention exception. Retention and anonymisation processes will be reviewed periodically to keep them aligned with these principles.
10. Security
We use proportionate security measures such as access controls, encrypted connections, appropriate software maintenance and restricted access to administrative systems. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. If you suspect unauthorised account access, please contact us promptly.
11. Your privacy rights
Subject to the law applicable to your information, you may be able to request access to personal data, correction, erasure, restriction of processing, portability, objection to certain processing, or withdrawal of consent. Withdrawing marketing consent does not prevent necessary order or security communications. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request and may retain information where legally required.
You may also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission or another competent data protection authority where you have that right. Please contact admin@brianewuzie.com with your request.
12. Children
The paid course is offered to adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly invite children to register for the course. If you believe a child has supplied information improperly, please contact us.
13. Other websites
Links to external websites, recommended readings or streaming services are subject to those providers’ own policies. We are not responsible for their independent privacy practices.
14. Changes and contact
We may update this Policy when our services, technology or legal obligations change. Material changes will be communicated appropriately. The current version will show its revision date. Contact: admin@brianewuzie.com; business address: 10 Onyenweaku Street, Umungasi, Aba, Abia State, Nigeria.
