PRIVACY
POLICY.

01Who we are

Bano Studios ("we", "us", "our") is an independent film production company registered in Nigeria under RC-1992462. This policy explains how we collect and use personal data when you visit banostudios.africa or engage our services.

02Information we collect

We collect two kinds of information:

• Information you give us — name, email, phone, company, project brief, budget range, identity documents for equipment rental.
• Information collected automatically — IP address, browser type, pages visited, referrer. We use basic analytics to understand site traffic.

03How we use your information

• To respond to enquiries and produce quotes.
• To fulfil service contracts (photography, videography, film production, rental).
• To verify identity and credit-worthiness for equipment rental deposits.
• To send you the monthly Journal newsletter — only if you subscribed.
• To comply with Nigerian tax, corporate, and regulatory obligations.

04Sharing & third parties

We do not sell your data. We share only with vetted processors necessary to run our business: payment processors, email delivery, cloud storage (Google Workspace, AWS). Processors are contractually bound to GDPR-equivalent standards.

05Cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies to keep the site working and analytics cookies (Google Analytics) to improve it. You can decline analytics cookies via our banner on first visit.

06Data retention

Project records are retained for 7 years to meet Nigerian accounting law. Marketing data is retained until you unsubscribe. Identity documents for rental are destroyed 30 days after the rental closes unless a dispute is open.

07Your rights under the NDPR

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation you have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your data, and to withdraw consent. Email info@banostudios.africa with subject "DSR" and we respond within 14 days.

08Security

We use TLS in transit, encrypted backups at rest, and least-privilege access for our team. No system is perfectly secure — if we ever learn of a material breach we will notify affected users within 72 hours.

09Children

Our services are not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.

10Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The "last updated" date at the top will change. Material changes are communicated via email to subscribers.
