Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how GESTL CONNECT (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit gestlconnect.com or use our services, including our bookstore, speaking enquiry form, Clarity Sessions, Private Hub, and crypto education content. By using this site, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.

We collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide directly - your name, email address, phone number, and any other details you submit through our contact, speaking enquiry, checkout, Clarity Session, or Private Hub forms, including shipping address for book orders and proof-of-payment files for bank transfers.
• Payment information - when you pay by card, your payment details are collected and processed directly by our payment processor, Paystack; we do not receive or store your full card number. For bank transfers, we collect the transfer receipt or screenshot you upload to confirm payment.
• Technical and usage information - such as browser type, device type, general location (derived from IP address), pages visited, and referring URLs, collected automatically as you use the site.
• Cookies and local storage - see Section 5 below.

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to enquiries submitted through the site;
• Process and fulfill book orders, including shipping and order-status updates;
• Review and manage speaking engagement, Clarity Session, and Private Hub requests;
• Verify payments with our payment processor and confirm bank transfers;
• Send transactional communications related to your order, booking, or enquiry;
• Maintain, secure, and improve the site and our services; and
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We share information only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers - with vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as Paystack (payment processing), our hosting provider, and email delivery services, solely to the extent necessary for them to provide those services.
• Legal requirements - if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights, or protect the safety of users or the public.
• Business transfers - in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality protections.

We use cookies and browser local storage for purposes such as remembering the contents of your shopping cart between visits and keeping you signed in where applicable. These are not used to sell your data to advertisers. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site (such as the cart) may not function properly without them.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy - for example, order and booking records are kept for our business, accounting, and legal record-keeping needs - after which it is deleted or anonymized, except where a longer retention period is required by law.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access controls on our systems. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 12.

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

GESTL CONNECT serves users globally. By using this site, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, including countries that may have different data protection laws.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
