This Privacy Policy sets out the basis on which we will process and use any personal data about our supporters, potential supporters and visitors to our website www.ozuzuvoicefoundation.com (“website”) that we collect from them, that they provide to us, or that we collect from third parties.
For the purpose of the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/279 (GDPR) and the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (‘NDPR’), we are the data controllers and are located at No. 15 Odenigbo Avenue, Ariaria Aba, Nigeria.
We are committed to ensuring that Personal Data is properly and securely managed in accordance with the GDPR and the NDPR in respect of the collection, holding, storage, use, and processing of personal data about our supporters (such personal data is held in both manual and electronic records).
We may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time, which will take effect from the time we post them. This Privacy Policy was last updated on 10.09.2023.

How and Why do we Process your Personal Data?

On what Grounds do we Process your Personal Data?
We must have a lawful basis for Processing your information; this will vary according to the circumstances of how and why we have your information, but typical examples include:
- you have given consent (which can be withdrawn at any time by contacting us using the details below) for us to process your information (e.g., to send you fundraising communications by email or SMS).
- the Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (e.g., where we pass on information to a local authority for safeguarding or other reasons).
- the processing being necessary for reasons of substantial public interest (e.g., where steps are taken to prevent fraud or other dishonest activity).
Who will we share your information with?
We will only use your Personal Data within Ozuzu-Voice for the purposes for which it was obtained, unless you have explicitly agreed that we may share your Personal Data with another organisation or unless we are otherwise permitted or required to under the Data Protection Rules or order of a Court or other competent regulatory body or as set out in this Notice.
While Processing your Personal Data, we may transfer it to countries which are outside the European Economic Area (EEA), some of which may not have laws which provide the same level of protection to your Personal Data as laws inside the EEA. NDPR applies to all processing of personal data in respect of persons in Nigeria, or Nigerian citizens living abroad. In such cases we will take steps to ensure that the transfers comply with the GDPR and that your Personal Data is appropriately protected.
All Personal Data that supporters provide to us is stored on our secure servers and/or on the servers of our suppliers who we have engaged to host our website.
We have in place administrative, technical and physical measures designed to guard against and minimise the risk of loss, misuse or unauthorised processing or disclosure of the Personal Data that we hold.
