Who is responsible for your data
Bryan Joblek Obi Ayuk, an individual entrepreneur trading as HOVERCODE, Yaoundé, Centre Region, Cameroon — the data controller. Contact for anything in this policy: hovercode.cmr@gmail.com or +237 671192094.
This policy follows Cameroon’s Law No. 2024/017 of 23 December 2024 on the protection of personal data, and is written to respect similar rules elsewhere (such as the EU GDPR) for clients abroad.
What I collect, and why
| When | What | Why | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| You send the contact form | Name, email, business name (optional), the service you’re interested in, your message | To reply to you and, if you wish, prepare a quote. A copy of your message is emailed back to you as confirmation. | Your consent (the checkbox on the form) |
| You leave a review | Name, business and role (optional), your review, rating (optional) | To publish your review on this site — only after I have read and approved it | Your consent (the checkbox on the form) |
| You become a client | Contact details, project content you send, invoices and payment records | To deliver the work and keep the records the law requires | Our contract, and legal obligations (accounting) |
| Any visit | Your IP address and browser type, as part of the normal web request | To deliver the page and protect the forms from spam (a short-lived, in-memory limit — I do not store your IP) | Necessary to operate the site securely |
I do not use analytics, advertising or tracking tools, I do not build profiles, I make no automated decisions about you, and I never sell or rent personal data. I do not ask for sensitive data — please don’t include health, banking or identity-document details in a message.
Who else handles it
To run the site I rely on these providers, who process data on my behalf:
- Vercel Inc. (United States) — hosts the website and sees standard request data such as IP addresses.
- Google LLC (Gmail, United States) — delivers and stores contact-form messages in my mailbox.
- Supabase Inc. — stores reviews submitted through the review form.
These providers may store or process data outside Cameroon, including in the United States. They are bound by their own security and privacy terms. If you contact me on WhatsApp, LinkedIn, GitHub or Instagram, that conversation is also governed by that platform’s own privacy policy.
How long I keep it
- Enquiries that don’t lead to a project: deleted within 24 months of our last exchange.
- Client records: kept for the length of our working relationship, then for as long as accounting and tax law requires.
- Reviews: published reviews stay up until you ask me to remove them; reviews I don’t publish are deleted within 3 months.
Your rights
You can, at any time and free of charge:
- ask what data I hold about you and get a copy;
- have it corrected or completed;
- have it deleted, or a published review taken down;
- withdraw your consent — this doesn’t affect what was done before;
- object to a use of your data.
Write to hovercode.cmr@gmail.com. I reply within 30 days, usually much sooner. If you’re not satisfied, you can complain to Cameroon’s personal data protection authority, or to the authority where you live.
Security
The site runs over HTTPS. Forms are validated on the server, protected against spam and rate-limited; service keys are never sent to your browser; and the review database only accepts new, unpublished entries from the public. If a data breach ever affected you, I would tell you and the relevant authority without delay.
Children
My services are for businesses and adults. The forms are not intended for anyone under 18.
Changes
