Privacy & tracking

Who handles information

The individual operator of DuarteDev operates this service. Contact info@duartedev.com for access, correction, deletion, objections or complaints. We may verify your identity before releasing or changing records.

Information and purposes

Applications contain your name, email, phone, town, country declaration, adult declaration and public social profile. We use these to assess eligibility, administer your account and communicate about the programme. We store a password hash, verification/reset token hashes, accepted terms version and time, referrals, payment references, commissions and account actions. Clients supply their own enquiry details and referral code for quoting and attribution. Payout recipient details are verified directly before a transfer; the portal records the method and reference, not wallet PINs or full card credentials.

Country requests

We collect your name, email, requested country, optional social profile and explanation to review and respond to expansion requests. Optional country-launch email consent is recorded separately. We do not add you to a general marketing list. Withdraw notification consent by emailing us.

Cookies, analytics and referral storage

Essential session cookies support sign-in, form security and account actions. They are not advertising cookies. Optional Google Analytics loads on the main website only after you allow optional storage. That permission also allows an active referral code to be remembered in browser local storage for 30 days. You may use a referral code without optional storage by entering it yourself. Your preference is remembered for up to 180 days and can be changed using the website's privacy choices control. Clearing or declining optional storage removes the saved referral; analytics is stopped on reload after withdrawal.

The existing public website uses externally hosted Google Fonts and jsDelivr resources, which can receive technical connection information such as your IP address when your browser requests them. The partner portal uses local styles and assets. Hosting, email and infrastructure providers may keep their own security/access logs. We use a keyed, short-lived IP-derived value for portal rate limiting.

Sharing and security

Information is available to the operator and service providers needed for hosting, email, payments and business records, and to professional advisers or authorities where justified or required. Some providers may process data outside Namibia; contact us for details of the configured providers. We do not sell personal information. Partners can see their own referral references, progress and commission, but not clients' names, email addresses or enquiry messages. We use HTTPS, password hashing, access restrictions and server-side checks. No system can promise absolute security.

Retention and your choices

Our operating schedule is to review unapproved applications and inactive country requests after 12 months, and enquiries that never became projects after 24 months. Delete or anonymise information no longer needed. Financial records, accepted agreements and dispute evidence may need longer retention to meet applicable legal duties; the operator must confirm the relevant periods with its adviser. Closing an account stops new referrals but does not automatically erase legally necessary financial records. Security incidents will be assessed and affected people notified where required or appropriate.

Marketing and complaints

Account verification, security, payment and requested enquiry communications are service messages. Optional promotional communications require a separate choice. You can request privacy changes or raise a complaint through the contact email above; mandatory legal rights are unaffected.
