Adan Industries Limited ("we," "us," or "our") operates the corporate website adanindustries.com. We are committed to safeguarding the corporate, financial, and personal data of our bulk buyers, distribution partners, co-packing clients, investors, outgrowers and website visitors.
This Privacy Policy outlines our data processing practices in strict accordance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) and relevant international data protection frameworks, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For the purpose of the NDPA, Adan Industries Limited acts as the Data Controller for all information collected through this platform.
02. Information We Collect
We only collect information that is necessary to facilitate B2B industrial partnerships, supply chain operations, and investor communications. This includes:
- Identity & Contact Data: Full name, corporate email address, telephone number, business physical address, and selected interest area.
- Corporate & Technical Data: Company name, industrial sector, estimated order or supply volumes, and specific raw or refined oil requirements.
03. Legal Basis and Purpose of Processing
We process personal and corporate data under three lawful bases, each mapped to a defined operational purpose:
- Contractual Necessity: B2B contracts, bulk off-take agreements, and supply chain execution.
- Legitimate Interests: Responding to inquiries, screening proposals, and protecting the integrity of our commercial operations.
- Legal Compliance: Tax regulations, anti-money laundering laws, and mandatory Nigerian statutory obligations.
04. Data Storage, Security, and Retention
Data submitted through this platform is shielded by SSL encryption, firewalls, and strict internal access controls. Corporate data assets are compartmentalised on a need-to-know basis, mirroring the same institutional risk-management discipline that governs our physical operations.
Data is retained only for statutory Nigerian corporate and tax record-keeping periods, after which it is securely and permanently destroyed.
05. Data Sharing and Third-Party Disclosures
Data is shared under strict confidentiality only with authorized logistics partners, port authorities, shipping lines, or regulatory bodies under mandatory Nigerian laws. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal or corporate data to any third party for marketing purposes, and every disclosure is logged against its statutory or contractual basis.
