The Decagon Undergraduate Honors Program ("Decagon", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you use our website at decagonfoundation.org, how we use it, and your rights in relation to it.
Information we collect
When you submit an application through our website, we collect the personal information you provide — including your name, email address, phone number, state of origin, JAMB score and year, intended course of study, and personal statement.
When you contact us or submit a general enquiry, we collect your name and email address.
We may also collect non-personal technical data such as browser type, device type, and pages visited, through standard web analytics tools, to help us improve the site.
How we use your information
Application data is used solely to assess eligibility, communicate with applicants, and administer the scholarship programme.
Contact enquiries are used to respond to your message and, where relevant, route it to the appropriate team.
Aggregate, anonymised analytics data is used to improve the website experience. We do not use it to identify individual visitors.
How we share your information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
We may share application data with partner universities solely for the purpose of enrolment processing for successful scholars.
We may disclose information where required by Nigerian law or a valid legal process.
Data retention
Application data is retained for the duration of the admissions cycle and for a reasonable period thereafter for record-keeping purposes.
You may request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us at [email protected].
Cookies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support basic site functionality and analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; this will not affect your ability to browse the site.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
Our services are intended for individuals aged 16 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us so we can delete it.
