Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

We collect information you give us directly, for example when you complete an application, contact us, apply to partner with us or subscribe to our newsletter. This includes your name, email address, phone number, state or country, programme interest and anything you choose to write in a message.

We also collect limited technical information automatically, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit. Analytics and marketing information is only collected if you allow it in our cookie settings.

2. How we use your information

• To process applications and enquiries and to communicate with you about our programmes.
• To send updates and newsletters when you have asked to receive them.
• To improve our website, services and learner experience.
• To meet our legal obligations and keep our services secure.

3. Information sharing

We never sell, trade or rent your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us run the website and deliver our services, such as email and hosting providers, under strict confidentiality agreements, or where the law requires it.

4. Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as we need it for the purposes in this policy or as the law requires. Enquiry data is kept for up to three years. You can ask us to delete your data at any time.

5. Your rights

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and other applicable law you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, correct it, ask us to delete it, object to or restrict how we use it, and withdraw consent at any time. To use any of these rights, email info@meristemveii.org.

6. Cookies

We use cookies to keep the site working, remember your choices and, only with your permission, understand how the site is used. Full details, and a button to change your choices at any time, are in our Cookie Policy.

7. Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, change, disclosure or destruction. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we make a significant change we will post the new version on this page with a new date, and where appropriate we will tell you by email.
