1. Overview & Operational Scope

BlueBricks Verified Services ("BlueBricks", "we", "us", or "our") operates bluebricksverified.com, associated web portals, and verification desks across Nigeria and international jurisdictions (including the United States).

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data privacy, confidentiality, and security in accordance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA / NDPR), standard international data privacy principles, and global consumer security guidelines. This Privacy Policy governs all data collected when you browse verified property listings, submit land title verification requests, schedule physical site inspections, order construction project supervision, or create an account.

To deliver independent verification, site inspection, and real estate services, we collect information across the following categories:

• Property & Title Verification Documents: When requesting independent Title Verification, you may upload property instruments, including Certificate of Occupancy (C of O), Governor's Consent, Excision / Gazette records, Registered Survey Plans, Deeds of Assignment, and seller contact details.
• Physical Inspection & Supervision Data: Site GPS coordinates, physical address details, inspection access codes, structural preferences, and project milestone criteria.
• Financial & Transaction References: Payment tokens, transaction reference IDs, and payment processor confirmations (e.g. Flutterwave, Paystack, Stripe). Note: We do not store raw credit card numbers or banking PINs on our servers.
• Technical & Telemetry Data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, referral URLs, session cookies, and interactive property search filters to optimize service speed and prevent security fraud.

3. How We Use Your Information

We process personal data strictly for lawful operational purposes, including:

• Deploying certified field officers to perform physical building inspections, structural audits, and neighborhood environmental checks.
• Delivering high-definition photo/video evidence reports directly to your secure user dashboard.
• Facilitating direct communication between diaspora buyers, vetted agency listers, and assigned verification officers.
• Preventing land fraud, double allocation, identity theft, and fraudulent listing claims.
• Complying with statutory legal obligations and regulatory audits.

4. Document Confidentiality & Data Protection

Property title documents and survey plans uploaded to BlueBricks contain sensitive ownership data. We implement strict administrative and technological safeguards:

• Encryption at Rest & in Transit: All uploaded title deeds and survey documents are encrypted using AES-256 standards at rest and TLS 1.3 protocol during transmission.
• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Title documents are strictly restricted to assigned Legal Verification Officers and certified inspection auditors bound by non-disclosure agreements.
• No Unauthorised Disclosure: We never sell, lease, or monetize personal information or property document uploads to third-party ad networks or data brokers.

5. Data Sharing & Third-Party Processors

We only share data with third parties under the following strict conditions:

• Vetted Listing Partners: If you explicitly submit an inquiry or booking request for a property listing, your contact details are shared with the verified agency or owner listing that property.
• Verification Officers & Field Inspectors: Assigned legal researchers and site surveyors receive necessary address and document details to carry out land registry searches and site visits.
• Secure Infrastructure & Payment Providers: Verified payment gateways process financial payments under PCI-DSS compliance standards.
• Legal & Regulatory Authorities: Where compelled by valid subpoena, court order, or law enforcement agency under applicable Nigerian or international law.
