What we collect and why
| When | What we keep | Why, and on what basis |
|---|---|---|

| You sign in | Your email, a one-time code (stored only as a hash), a session record | To give you access you are entitled to, under your trial or your organisation's licence |

| Your organisation holds a licence | Organisation name, email domain, contact name and email, invoices | To perform the licence agreement and keep the accounts the law requires |
| You ask the Gas Desk a question | The question, the time, and how many sources answered it | To answer it and to improve answers, under your trial or licence |

We do not sell personal data, and we do not use advertising cookies. The site sets one cookie when you sign in, to keep you signed in, and stores your light or dark theme choice in your browser; the security check on the trial form is run by Cloudflare.
Where your data is held
The website and its database run on Cloudflare, whose servers may be outside Nigeria. We transfer data to it on the basis of your consent and of Cloudflare's contractual safeguards for personal data. Emails are sent through our email provider.
How long we keep it
Trial records are kept for two years after the trial ends, unless your organisation takes a licence. Licence and invoice records are kept for six years, as accounting law requires. You can ask us to delete anything we are not required to keep.
Your rights
You may ask to see the personal data we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to move it, or to object to how we use it, and you may withdraw consent at any time. Write to info@gasdeskmedia.com and we will reply within 30 days. You may also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.
Changes
We will post any change to this notice on this page with its date. This version is dated November 2026.
