Cookies

Private Schools in Nigeria Project deposits cookies on users' hard drives. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. By setting a cookie on our site, a user does not have to log in a password more than once and saves time while on our site. Users who reject the cookie may still use privateschoolsinnigeria.com, but they may be limited in some areas of our site.

Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance their experience. Some of the information about how our users experience our site, such as page views and specific pages visited, is logged by a third-party marketing company on our behalf, using cookies and Web beacons. Web beacons help us understand information such as what browsers our users have so that we are able to develop our site to best support our users. We control how this data may and may not be used.

Private Schools in Nigeria Project is also working with third-party companies to serve ads when you visit www.privateschoolsinnigeria.com. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to www.privateschoolsinnigeria.com in order to provide advertisements on www.privateschoolsinnigeria.com, other websites and other forms of media about goods and services that may be of interest to you.

Log Files

We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track users' movement and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Sharing

We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and sponsors. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

We use third-party vendors to provide services on the Website, such as sending email messages to subscribers. The information that a user submits on the site will be provided to our vendor on a confidential basis for the sole purpose of delivering Private Schools in Nigeria Project' communications to users who have 'opted in' to receive them. Your email address will not be shared with any other third party.

We may, however, release information provided by a user to the extent it is required to be disclosed pursuant to a valid order or requirement of a governmental agency or court.

The personal information you provide on the www.privateschoolsinnigeria.com  Website will be sent directly to Private Schools in Nigeria Project, and will not be retained by any of our partners. However, if you are on one of our co-branded partner pages, the partner may track your page views of the links you click on the page.

Links

This Website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Private Schools in Nigeria Project is not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites. We encourage our users to be aware of when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Website.

Newsletters

If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter or other email services, we may ask for contact information such as name and email address. This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide demographic information (such as child's grade level or ZIP code) but encouraged so that we can provide more personalized service. This information is not shared with or sold to anyone for any purpose, except in accordance with this privacy policy.

From time to time, Private Schools in Nigeria Project may email our newsletter subscribers a request to complete user surveys and/or events that we believe are of interest. This may include promotions from a related third-party sponsor. Private Schools in Nigeria Project will never share your information directly with a third party, except in accordance with this privacy policy.

Choice/Opt Out

Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletters or other communications can unsubscribe using the tools provided in every email message we send or from the subscription management page on the site.

User Surveys

From time to time, we request information from users and newsletter subscribers via surveys. Participation in these surveys is voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as ZIP code, grade level). Contact information may be used to notify winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

If users elect to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address. Private Schools in Nigeria Project will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. Private Schools in Nigeria Project stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact Private Schools in Nigeria Project at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to request the removal of this information from our database.

Security

Private Schools in Nigeria Project has implemented commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. When users submit sensitive information via the Website, Private Schools in Nigeria Project uses commercially reasonable efforts to protect their information both online and offline. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. Thus, you acknowledge that you provide your personal information at your own risk.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect personal user information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) will be granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up to date on our security and privacy practices. The servers that are used to store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

If you have any questions about the security at our Website, you can send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Compromise of Security

In the event that personal information is compromised as a result of a breach of security, Private Schools in Nigeria Project will promptly notify those persons whose personal information has been compromised, in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Statement, or as otherwise required by applicable law.

Correction/Updating Personal Information

If a user's personally identifiable information changes or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us.

Notification of Changes

As we continue to develop our Website, this privacy policy likely will change. We will post all changes to this policy on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the policy's effective date. We therefore encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy.

We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this new manner.

Login Security

When you choose a password, either as a principal for your Enhanced School Profile or as a parent to join a Private Schools in Nigeria Project community, the password is stored on the password-protected Private Schools in Nigeria Project server. However, because Internet communications are generally not secure, you should be aware that when you send your password across the Internet to us, there is a possibility that an experienced hacker could intercept your password. However, we have no evidence to date that password information presents a serious security threat to warrant using a secure shell for this transaction.
