Privacy Policy

LexHaven ("we", "us", or "our") operates Nigeria's lawyer-verified property rental platform at lexhaven.ng. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our services. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the platform.

We may collect the following categories of information:

**Automatically collected data:** When you browse the platform, we may collect your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and time spent on pages via standard web analytics tools.

**Account information (lawyers only):** When a lawyer registers to list a property, we collect their full name, Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) accreditation number, email address, phone number, and law firm details.

**Locally stored preferences:** For property visitors and renters, we use your browser's localStorage to save bookmarked properties. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

**Voluntary communications:** If you contact us via email, phone, or WhatsApp, we retain those communications for service purposes.

We use collected information to:

Operate, maintain, and improve the LexHaven platform

Verify the NBA accreditation status of lawyers who list properties

Respond to enquiries and provide customer support

Monitor usage patterns to improve user experience

Comply with applicable legal obligations under Nigerian law

LexHaven is designed as a public browsing platform. Renters and property visitors do not need to create an account or provide personal information to browse listings or save bookmarks. Bookmarks are stored entirely in your browser's localStorage and are never sent to our servers. You can clear them at any time by clearing your browser data.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may disclose information:

To comply with a legal obligation or court order under Nigerian law

To protect the rights, property, or safety of LexHaven, our users, or the public

To accredited third-party services that assist in operating our platform (e.g., hosting, analytics), under strict confidentiality agreements

We retain lawyer account data for as long as the account is active or as required by law. Communication records are retained for up to 12 months. Automatically collected analytics data is anonymised after 90 days.

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Properties listed on LexHaven include direct contact links to lawyers via WhatsApp and email. When you use these links, you leave LexHaven and interact directly with a third-party service (WhatsApp, your email client). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those services.

LexHaven does not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that a minor has submitted personal information, we will delete it promptly.

You have the right to:

Request access to personal information we hold about you

Request correction of inaccurate data

Request deletion of your personal data (subject to legal obligations)

Object to the processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@lexhaven.ng.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the platform after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
