Access and use of websites or other online services
When entering one of our websites, or using an online service, we will record
information necessary to provide you with access, for the operation of the
website and for us to comply with security and legal requirements in relation

Responding to your request for information, order, or support
When you contact us (online or offline) in connection with a request for
information, to order a product or service, to provide you with support, or to
participate in a forum or other social computing tool, we collect information
necessary to fulfill your request, to grant you access to the product or
service, to provide you with support and to be able to contact you. For
instance, we collect your name and contact information, details about your
request and your agreement with us and the fulfillment, delivery and invoicing
of your order and we may include client satisfaction survey information. We
retain such information for administrative purposes, defending our rights, and
in connection with our relationship with you.
When you provide your name and contact information to register in connection
with such a request, the registration may serve to identify you when you visit

and authorized users) for purposes such as contract management, fulfillment,
delivery of products and services, provision of support, invoicing and

Visitor information
We register individuals visiting our sites and locations (name, identification
and business contact information) and use camera supervision for reasons of
security and safety of persons and belongings, as well as for regulatory
purposes.
Marketing
Most information we collect about you comes from our direct interactions with
you. When you register for an event, we may collect information (online or
offline) in relation to the event organization, and during an event, such as
participation in sessions and survey results. We combine the personal
information we collect to develop aggregate analysis and business intelligence
for conducting our business and for marketing purposes.
You can choose to receive information by email, telephone or postal mail about our products and services, or sign-up for subscriptions. When visiting our websites or using our services we may provide you with personalized information.

Where we reference that we use your personal information in connection with a request, order, transaction or agreement (or preparing for the same), or to provide you with services that you requested (such as a website), we do this because it is necessary for the performance of an agreement with you.
Where we reference that we use your personal information in relation to marketing, improvement or development of our products or services, for reasons of safety and security, or regulatory requirements other than in connection with your agreement or request, we do this on the basis of our or a third party’s legitimate interests, or with your consent. When we collect and use your personal information subject to the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation or EU Privacy Legislation this may have consequences for Your Rights.
Sharing of Personal Information
As a global organization offering a wide range of products and services, with business processes, management structures and technical systems that cross borders, CIoD NIGERIA has implemented global policies, along with standards and procedures, for consistent protection of personal information.
As a global organization, we may share information about you with our subsidiaries world-wide and transfer it to countries in the world where we do business in accordance with this Privacy Statement.
Between CIoD NIGERIA controlled subsidiaries we only grant access to personal information on a need-to-know basis, necessary for the purposes for which such access is granted. In some cases, CIoD NIGERIA uses suppliers located in various countries to collect, use, analyze, and otherwise process personal information on its behalf.
Where appropriate, CIoD NIGERIA may also share your personal information with selected partners to help us provide you, or the company you work for, products or services, or to fulfill your requests, or with your consent. When selecting our suppliers and partners, we take into account their data handling processes.
If CIoD NIGERIA decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in some countries, such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or the receipt of such information from sellers. It is CIoD NIGERIA’s practice to require appropriate protection for personal information in these types of transactions.
Please be aware that in certain circumstances, personal information may be subject to disclosure to government agencies pursuant to judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process. We may also share your personal information to protect the rights or property of CIoD NIGERIA, our business partners, suppliers or clients, and others when we have reasonable grounds to believe that such rights or property have been or could be affected.
International Transfers
The international footprint of CIoD NIGERIA involves a large number of transfers of personal information between different subsidiaries, as well as to third parties located in the countries where we do business. Some countries have implemented transfer restrictions for personal information, in connection with which CIoD NIGERIA takes various measures, including:
Where required, CIoD NIGERIA implements Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the EU Commission, or similar contractual clauses in other jurisdictions. This includes transfers to suppliers or other third parties
Information Security and Accuracy
We intend to protect your personal information and to maintain its accuracy. CIoD NIGERIA implements reasonable physical, administrative and technical safeguards to help us protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use and disclosure. For example, we encrypt certain sensitive personal information such as credit card information when we transmit such information over the Internet. We also require that our suppliers protect such information from unauthorized access, use and disclosure.
Retention Per CIoD
We will not retain personal information longer than necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is processed, including the security of our processing complying with legal and regulatory obligations (e.g. audit, accounting and statutory retention terms), handling disputes, and for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims in the countries where we do business.
Because the circumstances may vary depending on the context and the services, the information provided in Online Privacy Statement or provided in a specific notice may provide more detailed information on applicable retention terms.
