Site Analytics & Cookies

Your information is used solely for the following purposes:

• To confirm, schedule, and manage your booking
• To communicate with you about your appointment
• To verify payment and confirm your session
• To send you meeting links or rescheduling notifications
• To deliver the Creator's IP Guide and follow up with relevant guidance
• To understand which jurisdictions and IP types founders need help with most
• To maintain internal records of advisory engagements and inquiries
• To improve site content and user experience through anonymised visit patterns

Your information is not used for unsolicited marketing, sold to third parties, or shared with anyone outside the advisory practice.

When you submit the IP Guide form, the legal basis for processing your personal data is consent. By checking the consent box and submitting the form, you explicitly agree that we may:

• Store your name, email, country, IP type, and idea description
• Email you the Creator's IP Guide PDF and follow-up guidance
• Contact you with relevant advisory information related to your inquiry

You may withdraw this consent at any time by emailing kewhyeninakamba@gmail.com. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before your request.

All data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption and access controls. Only authorised administrative accounts can view booking records, uploaded payment proofs, and lead form submissions. Public or anonymous access is strictly prohibited by design. Uploaded payment documents are stored in a private file system and are not accessible via public URLs.

This site uses a minimal first-party cookie to record whether you have accepted or declined the cookie notice. No third-party tracking, advertising, or analytics cookies are used. Page visit data is collected server-side for the sole purpose of understanding site engagement - it is not linked to your personal identity unless you are logged in as an administrator.

Booking records and associated documents are retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which they were collected, typically for the duration of the advisory relationship plus a reasonable period thereafter for administrative and legal compliance purposes.

IP Guide lead submissions are retained indefinitely unless you request deletion, as they form part of our understanding of founder needs across African jurisdictions. You may request deletion of your lead data at any time.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Withdraw consent to data processing
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, please email kewhyeninakamba@gmail.com.

The website and data storage are hosted on a managed cloud platform with built-in authentication and database services. No personal data is transferred to external analytics, advertising, or tracking services. Email delivery is handled through the same managed platform.

This site and its services are not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us for immediate deletion.

This privacy notice may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in practice or legal requirements. Any significant changes will be communicated to clients with active bookings or recent lead submissions.
