Who I am
This website, Legend.dev, is the personal portfolio of Emonefe Ovie Ezekiel, a software and AI engineer based in Lagos, Nigeria. When this policy says “I”, “me” or “my”, it means me.
I decide how personal data collected through this site is used, so I am its data controller under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) and, where they apply, the EU and UK GDPR.
What I collect
I keep this small on purpose. Here is everything, in one place:
The contact form
Only what you type, and only once you press Send. The live code preview runs in your browser; nothing leaves it before then.
Emails you send me
If you email me directly, I receive your email address, your name as it appears in your email, and whatever you write.
Technical data
Like every website, the hosting provider (Vercel) processes your IP address, browser, device type and the pages you request, to deliver the site and keep it secure. I don’t use this to identify you.
Browser storage
Two small settings saved in your browser, never sent to me: themeChoice (light or dark, only after you use the toggle) and preloaderLastShown (so the loading animation doesn’t replay on every visit).
This site uses no tracking cookies, analytics tools, advertising pixels or social media trackers. That’s why there’s no cookie banner.
Please don’t include sensitive information (health, finances, religion, passwords and so on) in your message. I don’t need it to reply.
How and why I use it
Data protection law asks me to have a lawful reason (a “legal basis”) for each use. These are mine:
Sell or rent your data, add you to a mailing list or send you marketing without asking first, or use your data for automated decisions or profiling.
Data sent outside Nigeria
EmailJS, Google and Vercel may process data on servers outside Nigeria, including in the United States and the European Union. When your data leaves Nigeria, I rely on these providers’ safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses and security certifications, and on the transfer being necessary to deliver the message you asked to send, as the NDPA allows.
How long I keep it
- Contact form messages and emailsUp to 3 years from our last contact, then deleted
- Project and invoicing records, if we work togetherAs long as the work needs them and the law requires (for example, tax records)
- Hosting logsA short period, set by Vercel’s own policy
- Browser storageUntil you clear your browser’s site data
You can ask me to delete your messages sooner at any time.
How I protect it
The site is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection, and the form is sent to EmailJS over HTTPS. Messages are kept in a password-protected email account that only I can access, with reputable providers.
No way of sending or storing data online is 100% secure, but I take reasonable steps to protect it. If something ever goes wrong, I’ll act quickly and tell you and the regulator where the law requires it.
Your rights
Under the NDPA (and the GDPR, if it applies to you), you can:
Access
Ask for a copy of the personal data I hold about you.
Correction
Ask me to fix anything inaccurate or incomplete.
Deletion
Ask me to erase your data.
Restrict or object
Ask me to pause or stop using your data.
Portability
Get your data in a common, machine-readable format.
Withdraw consent
Where I rely on your consent, withdraw it at any time.
How: email ovieemonefe012@gmail.com with the subject “Privacy request”. It’s free, and I’ll reply within 30 days. I may ask you to confirm who you are first, so I never hand your data to someone else.
Please tell me first so I can put it right. You can also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission or, if you live in the EU or UK, your local data protection authority.
Children
This site is for adults who want to work with me. I don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you’re under 18, please ask a parent or guardian before contacting me. If I find I’ve received a child’s data without that, I’ll delete it.
Changes to this policy
If I change how I handle personal data, I’ll update this page and the “Last updated” date at the top. The current version always lives here.
