1. About this Privacy Policy
Algologic Africa LTD (“Algologic Africa”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal data responsibly.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share and protect personal data when you visit our website, enquire about a programme, contact us, engage us for organisational learning, read Algologic Insights, or otherwise interact with us online.
We process personal data in accordance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, applicable regulations and directives issued by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, including applicable implementation guidance, and other Nigerian laws relating to privacy and data protection.
For the purposes of applicable data protection law, Algologic Africa LTD acts as a data controller where we determine why and how personal data is processed.
2. Personal data we may collect
The personal data we collect depends on how you interact with us.
When you complete a programme enquiry, contact form or organisational training enquiry, we may collect your name, email address, telephone or WhatsApp number, current role, organisation, programme of interest, approximate team size and information you include in your message.
We may also collect information associated with how you reached or used our website, including the page from which an enquiry was submitted, referral information, campaign parameters such as UTM source, medium, campaign or content, and basic technical information generated by our website or hosting infrastructure.
If you later enrol in a programme or enter into another relationship with Algologic Africa, additional information may be collected under the relevant registration, contractual or administrative process.
We do not intentionally request sensitive personal data through our general website enquiry forms. Please avoid including sensitive information in free-text messages unless it is genuinely necessary.
3. Why we process personal data
We may use personal data to respond to enquiries, provide information about programmes and cohorts, assess programme suitability, communicate with prospective learners, manage registrations, support learners, respond to organisational training requests, develop proposals, maintain business records, improve our website and services, protect our systems, understand how people find and use our website, comply with legal obligations, and establish or defend legal rights.
We will not use personal data for a purpose that is incompatible with the purpose for which it was collected unless we have a lawful basis to do so.
4. Our lawful bases for processing
The lawful basis we rely on depends on the activity and may include consent, steps taken at your request before entering a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate interests where those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
| Activity | Typical lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Responding to a programme or general enquiry | Steps taken at your request before a contract and/or legitimate interests |
| Programme registration and delivery | Contract |
| Organisational training discussions | Steps taken before a contract and/or legitimate interests |
| Administrative and service communications | Contract and/or legitimate interests |
| Compliance, accounting and legal records | Legal obligation and/or legitimate interests |
| Website security and fraud prevention | Legitimate interests and legal obligations where applicable |
| Optional marketing communications | Consent where consent is required |
| Optional analytics or non-essential cookies | Consent where required |
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.
5. Programme enquiries
Submitting a programme enquiry does not itself enrol you in a programme.
The information submitted through our enquiry forms is used to identify the programme you are interested in, understand your questions or learning goals, provide relevant programme information and follow up with you.
Where cohort dates, fees or other programme details have not yet been confirmed, we may contact you when the relevant information becomes available.
We will not treat a programme enquiry as permission to send unrelated promotional communications where consent or another lawful basis is required.
6. Organisational enquiries
Where you contact Algologic Africa on behalf of an organisation, we may process your business contact details and the information you provide about your organisation, team size, capability needs and proposed training requirements.
We use this information to understand the request, communicate with you, develop an appropriate response or proposal and, where relevant, take steps towards entering into an agreement with your organisation.
8. Direct marketing
We may invite people who have expressed an interest in Algologic Africa to receive information about relevant programmes, events, resources or updates.
Where applicable law requires consent for direct marketing, we will obtain it before sending such communications. You may unsubscribe or withdraw consent at any time.
We do not sell personal data to advertisers.
10. International transfers
Some technology providers used by Algologic Africa may operate infrastructure or process information outside Nigeria.
Where personal data is transferred outside Nigeria, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is permitted under applicable Nigerian data protection law and that appropriate safeguards are in place.
11. How long we keep personal data
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legitimate operational, contractual, legal, accounting, security and dispute-resolution requirements.
Different information may therefore have different retention periods. When information is no longer required and we have no lawful reason to retain it, we will delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it.
12. How we protect personal data
We use reasonable organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal data against accidental loss, destruction, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, unauthorised access and other unlawful processing.
No website, network or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore review security measures appropriate to the nature of the information and the risks involved.
Where a personal-data breach triggers statutory notification requirements, we will make the required notifications to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission and affected individuals within the periods required by applicable law.
13. Your rights
Subject to the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights to be informed about processing, access personal data, request correction, object to certain processing, request restriction or erasure, obtain data portability, withdraw consent and obtain appropriate safeguards in relation to automated decision-making.
You may also lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.
To exercise a privacy right in relation to information held by Algologic Africa, contact us using the details below. We may need to confirm your identity before fulfilling certain requests.
14. Children and young people
Our general professional programmes and website are not designed to collect personal data from children without appropriate safeguards.
Where processing involving a child relies on consent, we will take appropriate steps to obtain consent from a parent or legal guardian where required by Nigerian law and to implement appropriate age-verification and child-protection measures.
15. Automated decision-making
We do not currently use website enquiry information to make decisions about individuals solely through automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
If this changes, we will provide appropriate information and safeguards as required by law.
16. Links to other websites
Our website may link to third-party websites, platforms or services.
Algologic Africa is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites that we do not control. You should review the privacy policy of any third-party service before submitting personal data to it.
17. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, business processes or legal obligations change.
The current version will be published on this page with its latest revision date. Where a change materially affects how we process personal data, we will take reasonable steps to provide additional notice where appropriate.
