Privacy Policy

The New Generation International Foundation (NGIF) is committed to protecting the privacy of our delegates, donors, and partners. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our website and platform (including NGLA 2026 and The Academy experiences).

We may collect the following categories of information:

• Account details: name, email address, and login-related information.
• Application data: information you submit as part of NGLA 2026 (including resumes and video links, where applicable).
• Payment records: payment status and transaction references for the application fee. Payment details are processed securely via Paystack.
• Usage data: basic logs and device/browser information used to keep the platform reliable and secure.

We use your data to:

• Create and manage accounts.
• Process applications and communicate about NGLA 2026.
• Support Academy or alumni network management.
• Maintain security, prevent abuse, and improve the platform.

We do not sell your data to third parties.

If you post updates to the public NGLA live feed, that content is visible to visitors of the website. Please avoid sharing sensitive personal information in public posts.

We share data only with trusted service providers who help us operate the platform, including Paystack for payment processing. These providers are required to handle your data securely and only for the services they provide.

We retain personal information for as long as needed to operate the platform, meet program requirements, and comply with legal or accounting obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

We employ industry-standard SSL encryption and secure server infrastructure to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data using reasonable safeguards.

You can request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us. Some information may be retained where required for legitimate operational, security, or legal purposes.
