Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 30, 2026

1. Introduction

The Africa Centre of Excellence (“ACE”, “we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you visit www.africacentreofexcellence.com (the “Website”) or contact us through it.

2. Who We Are

ACE is the controller of the personal data processed through this Website. Our head office is at 1003 Morija Close, Wuse 2, off Ademola Adetokunbo Street, Abuja, Nigeria. We also have offices in London and Dublin. For any privacy matter, contact us at info@africacentreofexcellence.com.

3. Information We Collect

Information you provide to us. When you use our contact form or email us, we may collect:

  • Your name, email address, and telephone number
  • Your organisation and the subject of your enquiry
  • Any other information you choose to include in your message

Information collected automatically. When you browse the Website, we may collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit.

We do not knowingly collect special-category (sensitive) personal data through this Website. Please do not include sensitive or classified information in your message.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Respond to your enquiries and requests
  • Communicate with you about our services and potential partnerships
  • Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Website
  • Comply with our legal and regulatory obligations
  • Detect and prevent spam, fraud, and security incidents

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Depending on your location, we process your data on one or more of these bases:

  • Consent, when you submit the contact form and agree to this policy
  • Legitimate interests, in responding to enquiries, securing the Website, and improving our services
  • Legal obligation, where the law requires us to retain or disclose information

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website uses cookies, which are small text files stored on your device, to make it function properly and to understand how visitors use it. We use:

  • Essential cookies, needed for the Website to work and stay secure
  • Analytics cookies, to measure traffic and improve the Website

You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how the Website works.

7. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it only with:

  • Trusted service providers who help us operate the Website, such as hosting, email, and security providers, and who are bound to protect it
  • Professional advisers, regulators, or law enforcement where required by law
  • Successor organisations, in the event of a restructuring

8. International Transfers

Because ACE operates in Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the UAE, and our service providers may be based elsewhere, your data may be transferred and processed outside your country. Where this happens, we take appropriate steps to ensure it is protected, in line with applicable data protection law.

9. Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy. Enquiry data is generally kept for [e.g. 24 months] unless a longer period is required by law or to handle an ongoing relationship. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

10. Data Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Your Rights

Depending on applicable law, including the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, the UK GDPR, and the EU GDPR, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Restrict or object to our processing
  • Request a portable copy of your data
  • Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing

To exercise any right, email info@africacentreofexcellence.com. We may need to verify your identity first. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority, such as the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, or the Irish Data Protection Commission.

12. Third-Party Links

The Website may link to external websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices or content, and we encourage you to read their policies.

13. Children’s Privacy

The Website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be published on this page with the date above. Continued use of the Website means you accept the updated policy.
