Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 2026  ·  Last updated: May 2026

NeuBrand is operated by Otegbade Emmanuel and Awesu Haminat, trading as NeuBrand, at Bookshop Building, University of Lagos Main Campus, Akoka Road, Yaba, Lagos 101017, Nigeria. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data when you use our platform at neubrandng.com. It is governed by the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation 2019 (NDPR) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

1. Data Controller

NeuBrand acts as the Data Controller in respect of all personal data collected through the Service, as defined under the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation 2019 (NDPR) issued by the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA). This means we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data.

For all data protection enquiries, contact us at getbrandedng@gmail.com.

2. Information We Collect

2.1

Account and Identity Data — your full name, email address, and password (stored as a bcrypt hash — never in plain text).

2.2

Profile and Career Data — LinkedIn profile text, CV content, career history, job titles, employer names, industry, professional achievements, skills, certifications, and answers to our guided interview questions. You choose what you share; the more you provide, the better the AI output.

2.3

AI-Generated Content — the headlines, About sections, experience bullets, cover letters, CV rewrites, LinkedIn posts, and Japa reports we generate for you. These are stored in your account so you can access them from your dashboard.

2.4

Usage and Technical Data — features accessed, audit scores, plan tier, dates of activity, IP address (used for rate limiting only, not stored long-term), and browser session information.

2.5

Payment Reference Data — Flutterwave transaction reference numbers and the plan associated with each payment. We never receive, store, or process your card number, expiry date, or CVV. All card data is handled exclusively by Flutterwave.

2.6

Communications Data — emails you send us, support requests, and any feedback you provide. We retain these to resolve your enquiry and improve the Service.

3. How We Collect Your Information

Directly from you — when you register, complete the guided interview, upload a CV, paste profile text, or contact support.

Automatically — session cookies, IP address for rate limiting, and usage events when you interact with the platform.

From payment processing — Flutterwave notifies us when a payment is completed, providing a transaction reference and the plan purchased. No card details are passed to us.

4. How We Use Your Information

To provide the Service — processing your Profile Data through Anthropic's Claude AI to generate personalised LinkedIn content, CVs, posts, and Japa reports.

To manage your account — authentication, session management, plan access control, and subscription tracking.

4.3

To communicate with you — sending transactional emails (password reset, payment confirmation, plan expiry reminders) via Resend. We do not send marketing emails without your explicit consent.

4.4

To protect the platform — rate limiting by IP address to prevent abuse, fraud detection, and security monitoring.

4.5

To comply with legal obligations — retaining records as required by Nigerian law, and responding to lawful requests from regulatory authorities.

What we do not do — we do not use your individual Profile Data to train AI models. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. We do not display advertising on the platform.
