Privacy Policy

Effective June 15, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Afolabi Dolapo Samuel, trading as "samautomate" ("we", "us"), collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit samautomate.com or use our services.

1. Information We Collect

a) Information you provide

• Contact details (name, email, phone, company) when you email us or engage our services.
• Project materials you share with us (brand assets, copy, account credentials, customer data).
• Billing information processed by our payment processors (we do not store full card numbers).

b) Information collected automatically

• Standard server logs (IP address, browser, pages visited, referrer, timestamps).
• Privacy-respecting analytics about how the site is used (aggregated, non-identifying).

2. How We Use Information

• To deliver, support, and improve our services.
• To communicate with you about projects, invoices, and updates.
• To comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations.
• To prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data to train third-party AI models.

3. Legal Bases (EEA/UK)

Where applicable, we rely on the following legal bases: performance of a contract, our legitimate interests in running and improving our business, compliance with legal obligations, and your consent where required.

4. Sharing of Information

We share personal information only with:

• Service providers that help us operate (hosting, email, analytics, payment processing — including Stripe).
• Authorities when required by law or to protect our rights.
• Successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to equivalent protections.

Payment information you submit is processed directly by our payment processor (e.g. Stripe). Their handling of your data is governed by their own privacy policy.

5. International Transfers

We operate globally. Personal information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to deliver our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Project data is typically retained for up to 24 months after the end of the engagement unless a longer period is required by law.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal information.
• Restrict or object to certain processing.
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
• Request data portability.
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise these rights, email samuel@samautomate.com. California residents have rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what information we collect and the right to opt out of any "sale" of personal information (we do not sell personal information).

8. Cookies & Tracking

We use a minimal number of essential cookies to keep the site working and (optionally) privacy-friendly analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings. We do not run third-party advertising trackers on this site.

9. Security

We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. No system is perfectly secure; if we become aware of a personal data breach affecting you, we will notify you and applicable authorities as required by law.

10. Children

Our services are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be posted here with a revised effective date.
