1. Who we are

PINOKENT&NET is operated by PINOK STAKE LIMITED ("PINOK", "we", "us"). We are the data controller for the personal data described in this notice. Contact us at hello@pinokevenet.app.

2. What we collect and why

  • Account data — name, email address, password (stored only as a secure hash), profile details such as profession, company, skills, photo and bio. Used to create and run your account (legal basis: performance of our contract with you).
  • Activity data — events you create or attend, tickets, messages, reviews, photos and videos you upload, connection and meeting requests. Used to provide the service (contract).
  • Support messages — when you contact us, we keep the conversation to help you (legitimate interests).
  • Usage and device data — log data, IP address, browser and device identifiers. Used for security, fraud prevention and improving the service (legitimate interests).

Payment card details are collected and processed by Paddle, our Merchant of Record — we never see or store your full card number.

3. Who we share data with

  • Service providers — hosting, database, storage and email providers who process data on our behalf under contract.
  • Paddle — our Merchant of Record, for selling products, managing subscriptions, processing payments, tax compliance and invoicing.
  • Professional advisers — lawyers and accountants where needed.
  • Authorities — where the law requires it.

We do not sell your personal data.

4. International transfers

Some of our service providers process data outside Nigeria, the UK and the EEA. Where data crosses borders, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions.

5. How long we keep data

We keep your data while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards to meet legal, accounting and security obligations. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or port your personal data, to object to processing, and to withdraw consent where we rely on it. You can also complain to your data protection authority. To exercise any right, email hello@pinokevenet.app — we respond within one month.

7. Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit, access controls and row-level security in our database, to protect your data.

8. Cookies

We use essential cookies and local storage to keep you signed in and make the service work. We do not use advertising cookies. You can clear cookies in your browser settings, but signing in will stop working without the essential ones.
