Your data, kept safe.

Who we are

OKWUTE is a Nigerian footwear brand. We decide how your personal data is used on this website, so we are its data controller under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023. You can reach us about privacy at hello@wearokwute.com.

What we collect

• Newsletter: your email address, if you choose to sign up.
• Orders: your name, email, phone number and delivery address, and what you bought.
• Messages: whatever you include when you email or message us.
• Payments: handled by Paystack on their own secure page. We never see or store your card details.

Your bag is saved only in your own browser, on your device. This site does not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not run analytics that follow you around the web.

Why we use it

• To process and deliver your order, and to help with exchanges and returns. We need this to fulfil our contract with you.
• To send you our newsletter, only if you have agreed to it. You can unsubscribe at any time with the link in every email.
• To answer your messages.
• To keep the financial records the law requires.

We never sell your personal data.

Who we share it with

Only with the services that help us run the shop, and only what each one needs:

• Paystack, to take payments.
• Our delivery partners: your name, phone number and address, to bring you your order.
• Zoho, which provides our email.
• Netlify, which hosts this website and keeps short-term technical logs, such as IP addresses, for security.
• Our newsletter provider, for newsletter subscribers only.

Some of these services store data outside Nigeria. We only use providers with appropriate safeguards for your data.

How long we keep it

Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Order records are kept for as long as Nigerian tax and accounting law requires. Messages are kept only as long as we need them to help you.

Your rights

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 you can ask us to:

• give you a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• correct it, or delete it
• stop or limit how we use it, or withdraw your consent at any time
• send it to you or another provider in a usable format

Email hello@wearokwute.com and we will respond within the time the law allows. If you are not happy with our answer, you can complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC).

Keeping it safe

This site is served only over HTTPS, it loads no third-party scripts, and only the people who run OKWUTE can access customer information.

Children

Our shop is meant for adults. If you are under 18, please ask a parent or guardian to place your order.

Changes

If we change how we use your data, we will update this page and the date below.
