Who we are

INGO ADVISORY is an Africa risk intelligence and security advisory practice. This notice explains how we handle personal data across our public website, intelligence platform, client portal and advisory engagements.

Data we collect

Contact details you submit through enquiry, newsletter, assessment and access-request forms (name, email, organisation, country, message).

Account data for client portal and expert network users, including role, watchlists and saved intelligence items.

Aggregated usage analytics such as page paths, referrers and session identifiers, used to improve the platform.

How we use it

To respond to enquiries, deliver subscribed intelligence products, operate authenticated portal features, and meet legal, compliance and vetting obligations.

We do not sell personal data, and we do not use client data to train third-party models.

Lawful basis

We rely on legitimate interests for platform operation and analytics, consent for marketing communications, contract performance for subscriptions and engagements, and legal obligation where compliance screening applies.

Retention

Enquiry records are retained for up to 24 months. Account and engagement records are retained for the duration of the relationship and for the period required by applicable law thereafter. Analytics events are retained in aggregated form.
