Data Protection

Last updated 22 October 2026
This page explains how BorderlessMarketer protects your personal data and how you can use your rights under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) and, for readers in Europe and the UK, the GDPR and UK GDPR. Read it together with our Privacy Policy.
Privacy Policy
Terms of Use
Data Protection
ON THIS PAGE
THE SHORT VERSION
  • We collect only what we need: your name and email address.
  • You can ask for access, correction or deletion at any time, free of charge.
  • We use service providers under written terms, and we do not sell your data.
  • If a breach puts you at risk, we will notify the regulator within 72 hours and tell you.

1. Our role

BorderlessMarketer is the controller of your personal data. We decide why and how it is collected and used. We are not a platform that processes data for other organisations, so this page is a statement for readers rather than a processing agreement.

If you are a company that wants to discuss data handling for a sponsorship or partnership, email hello@borderlessmarketer.com with Data protection in the subject line.

2. Principles we follow

  • Lawful, fair and transparent: we tell you what we do with your data.
  • Purpose limits: we collect data for specific purposes and do not use it for unrelated ones.
  • Data minimisation: we ask for your name and email address, which is all we need to send the newsletter.
  • Accuracy: we correct data that is wrong when you tell us.
  • Storage limits: we do not keep data for longer than we need it.
  • Security: we protect data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access.
  • Accountability: we can explain and show how we meet these principles.

4. Your rights and how to use them

  • Access: get a copy of your data and information about how we use it.
  • Rectification: correct data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • Erasure: ask us to delete your data.
  • Restriction and objection: ask us to limit or stop certain uses.
  • Portability: receive your data in a common, machine-readable format.
  • Withdraw consent: at any time.
  • Automated decisions: we do not make automated decisions that significantly affect you.

How to make a request

  • Email hello@borderlessmarketer.com with Data request in the subject line, from the address we hold for you.
  • We may ask you to confirm who you are, to protect your data.
  • We reply within 30 days. If your request is complex, we may need more time, and we will tell you why.
  • There is no charge, unless a request is clearly unfounded or excessive.

To stop receiving the newsletter, the fastest way is the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any issue.

5. How we protect your data

  • We limit access to personal data to the people who need it.
  • We use HTTPS to protect data in transit.
  • We protect admin accounts with strong passwords and, where available, two-step verification.
  • We keep our website software, plugins and tools up to date.
  • We keep backups and choose service providers that take security seriously.
  • We collect only what we need, which limits what could ever be exposed.

No system is completely secure. If you believe your data has been put at risk, please contact us right away.

6. Service providers

We use trusted providers for hosting, email delivery, subscriber management, analytics and security. They handle your data only to provide services to us, under written terms that require confidentiality and appropriate security. We can tell you the types of providers we use if you ask.

7. International transfers

Some of our providers process data outside Nigeria, and outside Europe and the UK. When we transfer personal data across borders, we do so in line with the NDPA and, where it applies, the GDPR and UK GDPR. Depending on the case, this relies on an adequacy decision, written contracts with standard data protection clauses, or your consent. Email us if you want more detail about the safeguards for a transfer.

8. If something goes wrong

If a personal data breach is likely to put your rights and freedoms at risk, we will notify the Nigeria Data Protection Commission within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, and the relevant authority elsewhere where the law requires. If the risk to you is high, we will also tell you without undue delay. Our message will explain what happened, what data was involved, what we are doing about it, and what you can do to protect yourself.

9. How long we keep data

  • Subscriber details: for as long as you are subscribed.
  • After you unsubscribe: we delete your name and profile details within 90 days. We keep your email address on a suppression list so we do not email you again, unless you ask us to erase that too.
  • Messages you send us: only as long as needed to deal with your request, and no more than 24 months after we last correspond.
  • Website and analytics data: for as long as needed for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy, and often in combined form.

10. Children

BorderlessMarketer is for adults. You must be at least 18 to subscribe, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.

11. Complaints

Please contact us first at hello@borderlessmarketer.com so we can try to put things right. You also have the right to complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (ndpc.gov.ng). If you are in the EEA, you can complain to the data protection authority in your country, and in the UK, to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
