Privacy policy

We only collect what you choose to give us through the site:

• Contact form: your name, email address, phone number if you add one, the subject and your message.
• Newsletter: your name and email address.
• Speaker applications: the details you enter in the form, such as your name, contact details and what you would like to speak about.
• Donations: your name, email address, phone number if you add one, the amount and the payment reference.
• Stories and volunteering: these forms are hosted by monday.com, and what you enter there is collected by them on our behalf.

Donations are processed by Paystack. Your card or bank details go directly to Paystack and are never seen or stored by us. Paystack’s own privacy policy covers how they handle that information.

• To reply to your message or application.
• To send you our newsletter, if you signed up for it.
• To confirm your donation, send your receipt and keep accurate financial records.
• To keep the site and its forms safe from spam and abuse.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.

To stop automated spam, our forms record a scrambled code made from your internet connection’s address. We never store the address itself, and the code cannot be turned back into it.

We look at overall visitor numbers through our hosting provider. These figures are counted on the server and do not use tracking cookies or advertising trackers. The site remembers whether you chose the light or dark theme on your own device, and nothing else.

A small number of trusted services process information on our behalf, only to provide the site:

• Netlify, which hosts the website.
• Neon, which hosts our database.
• Resend, which delivers our emails.
• Cloudinary, which stores the site's images.
• Paystack, which processes donations.
• monday.com, which hosts our story and volunteer forms.

Some of these services store data outside Nigeria. Where they do, we rely on providers that protect it to a recognised standard.

We keep messages and applications for as long as we need them to respond and follow up. Newsletter details are kept until you unsubscribe. Donation records are kept for as long as we are required to for accounting and legal purposes.

You can ask us to tell you what information we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, or to stop using it. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. To make a request, email socials@syncedcancer.com and we will respond as quickly as we can.

If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your information, you can also contact the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.

If we change how we handle your information, we will update this page and the date at the top.
