Privacy policy

This policy applies to information collected through ndts.gov.ng and related subdomains, including when you register for the summit, apply as a partner, sponsor, volunteer or startup, or otherwise contact us through this site.

• Contact details, such as name, email address, phone number and organisation, submitted through our partner, sponsor, volunteer and startup application forms
• Content of messages you send us, including the details of your inquiry
• Payment-related information where applicable, processed by our payment providers rather than stored directly by us

Information collected automatically

• Usage data such as pages visited and time spent on the site, collected through analytics tools
• Device and browser information, such as browser type and screen size, used to keep the site working well across devices

• To process and respond to partnership, sponsorship, volunteer and startup applications
• To communicate with you about the summit, including logistics and schedule updates
• To improve the accessibility, usability and content of this website
• To meet legal, regulatory and contractual obligations

Where the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 or comparable data protection law applies, we process personal data on the basis of your consent, the performance of a contract with you (for example, when you apply as a sponsor or volunteer), or our legitimate interest in organising and communicating about the summit.

We use essential cookies required for the site to function, and, where enabled, analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to browse the site.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate this site and the summit (such as event platforms, email providers and payment processors), and with partners or sponsors only where you have consented, for example when applying to a specific sponsorship tier. We may also disclose information where required by law.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including any legal, accounting or reporting requirements, after which it is deleted or anonymised.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, and to object to certain processing or request a copy of your data in a portable format. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate parental or guardian consent. Our volunteer programme has a minimum age requirement, described in our Terms of Service.

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post any changes on this page and update the "last updated" date above. Significant changes will be communicated more prominently.
