Privacy policy

The short version

We collect two things, and only when you give them to us: your email address if you subscribe to the newsletter, and your name, email, topic and message if you use the contact form. We use privacy-focused analytics to see which pages get read, and error monitoring so we find out when something breaks. Neither sets cookies, neither is used for advertising, and there are no advertising trackers on this site. We do not sell or share your information.

Searching this site for information about your fertility does not create a record of what you looked at that is tied to you.

Who is responsible

AfroFertility is operated by Vytalis Ltd. For anything in this policy, or to make a request about your data, email hello@afrofertility.com.

What we collect

• Newsletter. Your email address, and which part of the site you subscribed from. Nothing else.
• Contact form. Your name, email address, the topic you choose and the message you write.
• Server logs. Our host records standard technical information for every request, including IP address, browser type and the page requested. This is ordinary infrastructure logging, not something we analyse.
• Analytics.Which pages are opened, and one deliberate event: that one of the fertility tools was completed. Page addresses and the tool's name only — the figures you type into it are never part of this.
• Error reports. When something on the site breaks, we receive a technical report of the failure: the error, the page it happened on and the browser type. Cookies, form contents and email addresses are stripped out before the report is sent.

What we do not collect

No advertising or social media trackers. No cookies for ordinary visitors — our analytics are configured to store nothing on your device, and the only cookies this site sets are sign-in cookies for administrators managing the clinic directory. Because we store nothing, we cannot recognise you as a returning visitor or follow you between sessions. Typefaces are served from this site rather than fetched from Google, so viewing a page does not report your visit to a third party.

The fertility tools run entirely in your browser. The values you enter into the semen analysis checker, the BMI calculator and the ovulation calculator are never transmitted to us or to anyone else.

Why we hold it, and for how long

We hold your email because you asked to receive the newsletter, and your message because you asked us a question. We keep both until you ask us to delete them. There is no automatic deletion schedule; ask and we will remove your record.

Who else processes it

• Supabase — the database storing subscribers and contact messages.
• Vercel — hosting and server logs.
• Sanity — the system holding article content. It receives no information about you.
• Cloudflare — domain name records only. Traffic to this site is not routed through it.
• PostHog (EU) — analytics. Configured to set no cookies and to build no profile of you.
• Sentry (EU) — error monitoring. Receives a report only when something breaks.

These providers operate outside Nigeria, so your information may be stored and processed abroad.

Your rights

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 you can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email hello@afrofertility.com and we will act on it. Every newsletter also carries an unsubscribe link. If you are not satisfied with our response you may complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.

Children

This site is written for adults and is not directed at anyone under 18.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it. Material changes affecting information we already hold will be announced in the newsletter.
