Privacy Policy
Africast promoters respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Statement informs you about our Privacy Policy and practices, including how we collect and use information, as well as the options and choices you have as a user regarding the information we collect.
The Africast website and its sub-domains are operated by BSP Communications (Nig) Limited (trading as Broadcast Media Africa), a limited liability company incorporated in Nigeria, with its principal office located at Amore Street, Ikeja – Lagos, Nigeria.
In this Privacy Statement, “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to BSP Communications Limited. “This website” collectively refers to the Africast website and its sub-domains. “You” and “your” refer to a specific individual or program accessing these websites.
Governance: This website operates in accordance with the laws of Nigeria. The courts of Nigeria have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from your use of this website.
Cookies: Cookies are small pieces of information that your browser stores on your computer when requested by a website. They do not compromise your privacy or security since each cookie can only be read by the same website that requested your browser to store it. We request your browser to store a cookie when you access this website and may request your browser to store one or more cookies when you make purchases, request or personalise information, or register for certain services. Unless you explicitly choose to store additional information, our cookies only contain one or more sequential computer-generated identifiers. The cookies requested by this website are suffixed with “Africast.media” and expire at the latest after 365 days from their last update.
However, if your browser refuses to store cookies, some features of this website may not be available, and certain pages may not display properly.
We automatically collect the domain name and Internet Protocol address (IP address) of the computer from which you access this website, or the first identifiable computer through which you access it. This information does not identify you as an individual but only the computer used to access the website. We use this information to better understand the website’s usage, improve our service to you, and provide content relevant to your geographic region, such as advertisements and promotions. We do not link automatically collected information with personal information about you.
Data Collection and Use: When you request information through this website, we may need to know some personal information about you. If you email us or subscribe to receive information, we will require your email address, name, and other limited personal identifiers. If you choose to purchase information, goods, products, or services, we will usually require additional limited financial details.
Most of this information may be used by us to review, develop, and improve the services we offer and provide you with valuable information. Sensitive information, such as credit card details, will only be used for payment processing and not for any other purposes.
We will not share your details with any third party without your explicit permission unless required by law enforcement action or local law. By using our services, you agree that we can share your details with third-party service providers and subcontractors retained to perform functions or services on our behalf, including but not limited to marketing and advertising, data processing, and other information technology and office services.
The information you submit may be transferred, stored, and hosted outside the country from which you are accessing this website. It may be transferred to countries without data protection laws or with limited protection for privacy and other fundamental rights. However, all transmissions will remain secure and under our sole control.
If we intend to use your personal data for a new purpose beyond its original intent, we will ask for your explicit consent.
Data Retention: Your data may be held after the termination of your relationship with us for the purpose of improving our offered services. We do not collect any additional information about you beyond what is outlined above.
Access to Your Personal Data: You have the right to see the personal information we hold about you.
Children: We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13, and our websites are not targeted towards children under 13.
Security: We are committed to protecting the information you provide us. We have implemented security policies, rules, and technical measures to safeguard the personal data under our control, in accordance with Nigerian laws. These security measures are designed to prevent unauthorized access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorized modification, unlawful destruction, or accidental loss. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data, such as credit card information. SSL encryption makes the information unreadable by anyone except us. You can identify this security measure when you see either the symbol of an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser) at the bottom of your browser window. However, please be aware that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as completely secure. Although we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to us over the Internet, and you do so at your own risk.
Privacy Compliance: We voluntarily adhere to a Self-Assessment procedure. Data privacy legislation may be subject to revision, so we suggest regularly checking our Privacy Policy.
Hyperlinks: Our websites may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience. If you access those links, you will leave our website. We do not control those websites or their privacy practices, which may differ from ours. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites. This Privacy Policy does not cover the personal data you choose to provide to unrelated third parties. We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy of any company before submitting your personal information. Some third-party companies may choose to share your personal data with us, and that sharing is governed by the third-party company’s privacy policy.
Notification of Changes: We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. Your continued access or use of this website after such changes indicate your acceptance of the modified Privacy Policy. It is your responsibility to regularly review the Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy was last updated on July 1, 2023. If, at any point, we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from what was stated at the time of collection, we will notify you by email. You will have the choice to consent or opt-out of the new use of your information. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which it was collected.
