Privacy policy

Last updated 29 October 2026

In short

We collect what you give us when you join the waitlist, register as a driver or subscribe, and a little about your visit.
We use it to run Stedy and to contact you. We never sell it.
You can see, correct or delete your data at any time by emailing privacy@usestedy.com.

1Who we are

Stedy is a multi-stop delivery service for businesses in Abuja, Nigeria. We group a day's deliveries into routes and give each route to a vetted driver. We are getting ready to launch, so today you can join our waitlist, register interest as a driver, and sign up for news.

This policy covers usestedy.com and its pages, including the waitlist and driver sign-up. Stedy is the data controller for the personal data described here, under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA).

2What we collect

We only collect what we need for each thing you do:

Vendor waitlist: your name, business name, phone number and email address, plus anything you choose to add afterwards about your business.
Driver sign-up: your name, phone (WhatsApp) number, email address, the vehicle you drive and, if you add it, the area you want to work in.
Newsletter: your email address.
When you visit: your IP address, used briefly to stop abuse such as repeated automated sign-ups, and the campaign tags in the link you followed (for example, which advert brought you), so we know which of our adverts work.

Once Stedy is delivering, using the service will also involve delivery addresses, recipients' names and phone numbers, drivers' locations while they are on a route, and proof of delivery such as photos and signatures. We will tell you more about this before the service starts.

3How we use it

To hold your place on the waitlist and contact you about early access and launch.
To assess driver sign-ups and contact drivers about vetting and work.
To send the newsletter you asked for.
To keep the site secure and working, and to understand which adverts bring people to it.

Under the NDPA, we rely on your consent when you join the waitlist, register as a driver or subscribe; on steps you ask us to take before a contract (such as vetting a driver); and on our legitimate interests in keeping the site secure and measuring our advertising. You can withdraw consent at any time.

4Cookies and tracking

This site does not set advertising or tracking cookies.

The driver sign-up page uses the Meta Pixel, a small piece of code from Meta (the company behind Facebook and Instagram), to count visits that come from our adverts. Meta may use cookies and receive details about your device and visit. You can limit this in your browser settings or through your Meta ad preferences.

The maps on our pages are drawn from OpenStreetMap data served by OpenFreeMap, so your browser asks their servers for map images, which shares your IP address with them.

6Data stored outside Nigeria

Some of our providers store or process data outside Nigeria. When that happens, we rely on the safeguards the NDPA allows, such as the provider's contractual commitments to protect personal data to an adequate standard.

7How long we keep it

Waitlist and driver sign-ups who never go on to use Stedy: up to 2 years, then deleted.
Newsletter: until you unsubscribe. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
Security logs: 30 days.
Once deliveries start: driver location history for 90 days and proof of delivery for 1 year, unless the law requires longer.

8How we protect it

We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), limit who on our team can see personal data, store sensitive keys encrypted, and keep logs of administrative access. No system is perfectly secure, but if a breach puts your rights at risk we will tell you and the Nigeria Data Protection Commission as the NDPA requires.

9Your rights

Under the NDPA you can ask us to:

tell you what personal data we hold about you and give you a copy;
correct anything that is wrong;
delete your data;
stop or limit how we use it, or object to a use;
send your data to you or another organisation in a common format;
and withdraw your consent at any time.

Email privacy@usestedy.com from the address you signed up with. We answer within 30 days. If you are not happy with our answer, you can complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.

10Children

Stedy is for businesses and adult drivers. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you think a child has signed up, contact us and we will delete their details.

11Changes to this policy

We will update this policy as Stedy grows, especially when deliveries start. We will change the date at the top, and tell you by email first if a change affects how we use data you have already given us.
