Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 November 2026 (Lagos)

This policy explains how PathwayGate.com ("we") handles information when you visit our website.

Information you give us

• VIP opportunity alerts: if you sign up, we store your full name, WhatsApp number, email and interest category, and use them only to send you opportunity alerts. You can ask us to delete them at any time.
• Contact and WhatsApp: when you message us through the contact form, WhatsApp or email, your message is handled by WhatsApp (Meta) or your email provider and reaches us there.

Visitor analytics

We use Lovable's built-in visitor analytics to understand how the site is used. It uses no cookies, stores nothing on your device, doesn't keep IP addresses and doesn't identify visitors. Lovable collects this data for us. Lovable's privacy policy explains how it handles it.

It records pages visited, where visitors came from, country, browser, operating system and device type, time on site, page loading speed, errors, and clicks on buttons and links. In the EU/EEA, UK, Switzerland and Canada, and where the visitor's country cannot be determined, click measurement waits for analytics acceptance. Elsewhere it runs unless you reject it. Clicks are never recorded when your browser sends Global Privacy Control, even if you accepted earlier.

Page visits, time on page, page speed and errors are recorded for every visitor, without cookies and without identifying anyone. Detailed data is kept for 90 days and daily summaries for a year. Your consent choice is saved in your browser for up to 12 months; refusals may be requested again after about six months, without turning tracking back on. Use Cookie settings in the footer to change your choice.

Cookies and third-party advertising

The site currently has sponsored placeholders, not active Google AdSense tags. If advertising is enabled, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this and other websites. Advertising consent controls will be added separately before enabling such tags where consent is required; accepting analytics does not consent to advertising.

• Google's use of advertising cookies, including the DART cookie, enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to PathwayGate and other sites on the Internet.
• For Google/DoubleClick DART cookies and personalised advertising, use Google Ads Settings and review Google's advertising-cookie information. Industry opt-outs are also available at www.aboutads.info/choices.
• Other ad networks or affiliate partners we work with may also use cookies, web beacons or similar technologies. Their use is governed by their own privacy policies.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features may then work differently.

Other services we use

• Our database host (Supabase) stores listings and alert sign-ups. The founder's admin login stores a sign-in session in the browser of that account only.
• Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address when the page loads.
• Share and WhatsApp buttons open the chosen app or website (WhatsApp, Telegram, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, email) only when you tap them.
• Saved bookmarks stay on your device in localStorage and are not uploaded to our subscriber records. Clear them using the Saved list or your browser's site-data controls. Form cooldown timestamps and privacy choices also stay in localStorage; they do not contain your message or subscriber contact details.
• Quiz and checklist answers remain in page memory until you choose a WhatsApp handoff. Contact messages are not stored in our subscriber table.
• Paystack receives payment details when you follow a configured checkout link. We do not collect card details on this site. WhatsApp delivery and advisory correspondence are handled by Meta and our team.

How we protect your data

Subscriber details are visible only to the founder's secured admin account. We never sell your personal information.

Your rights

PathwayGate, operated by Founder Obiyo Emmanuel, is responsible for the personal information we collect for alerts and advisory support. Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA), our lawful basis for optional alerts is your explicit consent; for services you request, it is the steps necessary to provide the agreed service or contract. Necessary security processing relies on our legitimate interest in protecting the site, subject to your rights; legally required records rely on the applicable legal obligation.

You may withdraw alert consent, request access, correction, deletion or portability, and object to or request restriction of processing where applicable. Send requests to obiyoemmanuel980@gmail.com or email@pathwaygate.com. We may verify identity proportionately before releasing or deleting records. You may complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) if your concern is not resolved.

Retention and international services

Alert details are retained while your subscription is active, until you withdraw or request deletion. There is no automatic expiry for subscriber records currently. Contact and advisory correspondence remains in the team's WhatsApp/email accounts for as long as needed to handle your enquiry, service and applicable record-keeping obligations; request deletion through either email above. Specific legal obligations may require limited records to be retained, which we will explain when relevant.

Supabase, Lovable, Google Fonts, Meta and payment/email providers may process data outside Nigeria. We assess the applicable NDPA transfer requirements and provider safeguards when using these services. Do not send passports, financial credentials or sensitive documents through public signup or checker fields.

Children

PathwayGate is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
