1. Introduction
Utilit-Home Technologies, also referred to as Utilit, is committed to protecting the confidentiality and privacy of all personally identifiable information shared with us (“Personal Data”). In line with this commitment, we ensure the safeguarding and responsible use of Personal Data collected through our website https://utilit.ng and the Utilit mobile application (the “App”).
The App allows users to access a range of services, including utility collections, communication management, visitor management, and resident check-ins (“Services”) within residential estates. This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Statement”) outlines the principles and framework governing how we collect, process, store, and disclose any Personal Data voluntarily provided by users of the App (“Data Subject,” “you,” or “your”) in connection with the Services we deliver.
1.1.
We acknowledge that applicable data protection laws differentiate between entities that act as “controllers” of Personal Data and those that “process” Personal Data. We recognize that we operate as a “Data Controller” when determining the purposes for which, and the manner in which, Personal Data is processed or will be processed. Conversely, we act as a “Processor” in relation to Services where we handle Personal Data solely as instructed by other Data Controllers.
1.2.
Where we determine how Personal Data is used in relation to our Services (acting as a Controller), we assume responsibility for fulfilling the obligations of a “Controller” under applicable data protection laws. For instance, this Privacy Statement and related notices are provided to inform you about how we use Personal Data, as required by the relevant regulations. Conversely, where we process Personal Data strictly at the request of other Data Controllers (acting as a Processor), those Data Controllers bear the responsibilities of a “Controller” under applicable laws. If you access our Services through such third-party Controllers, any questions or concerns regarding the processing of your Personal Data or compliance with data protection requirements should be directed to those Controllers.
1.3.
This Privacy Statement may be revised periodically. Unless expressly stated otherwise, any modifications will take effect once they are published on our website and App. By continuing to use the App and our Services after such updates are posted, you are deemed to have accepted the revised Privacy Statement.
