Who is responsible for your information

DataBridge Africa is the organisation responsible for the personal information described in this notice.

  • Contact details such as your name, email address, telephone number, organisation and job role.
  • Information you include in enquiry, training, consultation or proposal forms and messages.
  • Records of our communication with you by email, telephone, WhatsApp or other agreed channels.
  • Information needed to deliver an agreed training, research, data science, analytics, AI or advisory engagement.
  • Basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, security logs and cookie preferences.

Why we use your information

  • To respond to enquiries and prepare proposals.
  • To organise and deliver training, consulting, research and technology services.
  • To manage our relationship with clients, participants, partners and prospective team members.
  • To operate, secure and improve our website and communications.
  • To keep appropriate business, financial and regulatory records.
  • To send relevant updates where you have requested them or where otherwise permitted by law.

Depending on the circumstances, we rely on your consent, steps requested before entering a contract, performance of a contract, our legitimate business interests, or a legal obligation. You may withdraw consent at any time where consent is the basis for processing.

How we share information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information only where reasonably necessary with trusted website, email, cloud, payment, communications or professional-service providers; facilitators or delivery partners assigned to an engagement; a client organisation that sponsors a participant; or public authorities where disclosure is required by law. These parties receive only the information needed for the relevant purpose.

International services

Some technology providers or professional partners may process information outside Nigeria. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to use appropriate contractual, organisational or technical safeguards.

Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, protect the website, or meet legal obligations. We then delete, anonymise or securely archive it as appropriate.

Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may ask to be informed about our use of your information; access it; correct inaccurate information; request deletion or restriction; object to certain processing; request portability where applicable; withdraw consent; and ask for human review of a significant automated decision. You may also lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.

To exercise a privacy right, email info@databridgeafrica.org. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

Cookies and third-party links

Our website may use essential, preference, security and measurement technologies. See our Cookie Policy for details. Links to services such as WhatsApp and LinkedIn take you to third-party platforms whose privacy practices are governed by their own notices.

Children

This website is not intentionally directed to children. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate authorisation, please contact us so that we can review and address it.

Security and changes to this notice

We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures to protect personal information. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. We may update this notice when our services, website tools or legal obligations change; the date above will show the latest revision.
