Our email communications may be delivered through a third-party email marketing provider such as Brevo or another provider we may use from time to time.

You may unsubscribe at any time.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not necessarily stop essential administrative, transactional, or service-related communications.

Analytics information may include:

  • Pages viewed;

  • Traffic sources;

  • Device and browser information;

  • Approximate geographic information;

Where the Website offers paid products, courses, events, resources, or other transactions, payments may be processed through third-party payment providers.

Depending on the payment method used, these providers may include Paystack, Flutterwave, Stripe, WooCommerce Payments, or another payment provider.

We generally do not need to receive or store your complete card number, CVV, PIN, or online banking credentials.

Payment providers process payment information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

You should review the privacy policy of the payment provider used for your transaction.

9. SOCIAL MEDIA AND EMBEDDED CONTENT

The Website may contain links to or embedded content from third-party platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, or other social networks.

Interacting with these platforms may allow those third parties to collect information about you according to their own policies.

We do not control the privacy practices of third-party platforms.

You should review their respective privacy policies before interacting with their services.

 

10. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Some third-party service providers we use may process or store information outside Nigeria.

Where personal information is transferred outside Nigeria, we will take appropriate steps required by applicable data protection law to ensure that the transfer is lawful and that appropriate safeguards are in place.

The Nigeria Data Protection Commission recognises cross-border transfer requirements under the Nigeria Data Protection Act, including the need for an adequate level of protection or another lawful mechanism.

 

11. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may depend on:

  • The purpose for which the information was collected;

  • Whether there is an ongoing relationship with you;

  • Legal, accounting, or regulatory requirements;

  • The need to establish or defend legal claims;

  • Security and fraud-prevention requirements.

When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete, anonymise, or securely dispose of it.

 

12. DATA SECURITY

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:

  • Unauthorised access;

  • Unauthorised disclosure;

  • Loss;

  • Misuse;

  • Alteration;

  • Destruction;

  • Other unlawful processing.

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should therefore avoid sending highly sensitive or confidential information through ordinary website forms or email unless specifically requested.
