  1. How we protect your personal data
    • We will not transfer your personal data outside Nigeria without your consent.
  • We have implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security in order to protect personal data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised alteration or destruction.
  • Please note however that where you are transmitting information to us over the internet this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  
  • For any payments which we take from you on-line we will use a recognised on-line secure payment system.
  • We will notify you promptly in the event of any breach of your personal data which might expose you to serious risk.
  1. Who else has access to the information you provide us?
    • We will never sell your personal data. We will not share your personal data with any third parties without your prior consent (which you are free to withhold) except where required to do so by law.
    • We may pass your personal data to third parties who are service providers, agents and subcontractors to us for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (e.g. to print newsletters and send you mailings).  However, we disclose only the personal data that is necessary for the third party to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own purposes.
  2. How long do we keep your information?
    • We will hold your personal data on our systems for as long as you are our client, service provider and staff for as long as is necessary to comply with our legal obligations.  We will review your personal data every year to establish whether we are still entitled to process it.  If we decide that we are not entitled to do so, we will stop processing your personal data except that we will retain your personal data in an archived form in order to be able to comply with future legal obligations e.g. compliance with tax requirements and exemptions, and the establishment exercise or defence of legal claims.
    • We securely destroy all financial information once we have used it and no longer need it.
  1. Your rights
    • You have rights under the NDPR:
      • to access your personal data
      • to be provided with information about how your personal data is processed
      • to have your personal data corrected
      • to have your personal data erased in certain circumstances
      • to object to or restrict how your personal data is processed
      • to have your personal data transferred to yourself or to another business in certain circumstances.
    • You have the right to take any complaints about how we process your personal data
