Cookies are small files placed on your computer’s hard drive that enables the website to identify your computer as you view different pages.

Our website uses only encrypted session cookies which are erased either after a predefined timeout period or once the user logs out of the platform and closes the browser. Session cookies do not collect information from the user’s computer. They will typically store information in the form of a session identification that does not personally identify the user.

9. How GACN protects your personal information

GACN stores and process your personal information on our data systems in Nigeria. Where we need to transfer your data to another country, such country must have an adequate data protection law and where we need to send your data to a country without an adequate data protection law, GACN will seek your consent. We protect your information using physical, technical, and administrative security measures to reduce the risks of loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure and alteration. Some of the safeguards we use are firewalls and data encryption, physical access controls to our data centers, and information access authorization controls.

10. How We Share your information within GACN and other users

We may provide our stakeholders or regulators with information such as your name, contact details, or other details you provide us for the purpose of performing our statutory mandate to you.

We work with third parties to perform our services and implement our mandate. In doing so, a third party may share information about you with us, such as your email address or mobile phone number.

From time to time we may send you relevant information such as newsletters, enforcement notice, statutorily mandated notices and essential information to aid the implementation of our mandate. We may also share your personal information in compliance with National or international laws; crime prevention and risk management agencies and such other agencies as may lawfully be applicable.

11. Security

We will always hold your information securely. To prevent unauthorized access to your information, we have implemented strong controls and security safeguards at the technical and operational levels. This site uses Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) to ensure secure transmission of your personal data. You should see the padlock symbol in your URL address bar once you are successfully logged into the platform. The URL address will also start with https:// depicting a secure webpage. SSL applies encryption between two points such as your PC and the connecting server. Any data transmitted during the session will be encrypted before transmission and decrypted at the receiving end. This is to ensure that data cannot be read during transmission.

GACN has also taken measures to comply with global Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) by putting in place, digital and physical security measures to limit and eliminate possibilities of data privacy breach incidents.

All information provided Users are regarded as confidential and will not be divulged to any third party except under legal and/or regulatory conditions or as authorized pursuant to this Privacy Policy.

If and for so long as any provision of this Privacy Policy is found by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction or is declared by applicable law to be invalid then such invalid provision shall be deemed to be severed from this Privacy Policy to the extent of its invalidity. The remaining provisions of this Privacy Policy shall continue in full force and effect and such severance shall not (to the greatest possible extent) affect the validity or operation of any other provision of this Privacy Policy.
