As a public establishment, third parties may wish to provide opportunities on our platform for mutual benefits or in public interest. The type of data usually processed for this may be your digital contacts such as E-Mail, telephone number, or address. You have the right to decline such third-party offers and further restrict the processing of your personal data. You can simply unsubscribe to the notices sent for the purpose of the offers. 

7.0 TECHNICAL INFORMATION 

Customarily, websites are designed to collect certain information from the visitor. Our website is also designed to collect your IP address and other information that your web browser typically shares with the websites that you visit. The purpose of this is to know you better and to engage with you automatically and dynamically through your actions on our website. 

8.0 PERSONAL DATA SECURITY AND INTEGRITY 

When MYLI collects personal information directly from you, it follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted: both during transmission and once received. We use cutting-edge technologies and foolproof protocols to provide you with comprehensive layers of security in the area of personal data. Data is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL). MYLI does its best to protect your personal data. Once your information is received, MYLI uses strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore its absolute security cannot be guaranteed. If you have any questions about security on MYLI website, contact us. 

MYLI has a companywide commitment to your privacy. To make sure your personal information is secure, please check that you are visiting our MYLI authorized website on the domain www.myliafrica.com. MYLI emails will only come from this domain. MYLI does not permit our employees to send or receive work-related emails from personal accounts or any other address. 

Thus, we are constantly vigilant in preventing cyber-attacks, fraudulent intrusion, unauthorized access, and loss or corruption of personal data using our best effort. We are equally cognizant of the obligations imposed on us by law in terms of data protection. Accordingly, we conduct reviews of process and privacy impact assessment, carry out training and obtain strict warranties where applicable. 

9.0 PURPOSE AND STORAGE LIMITATION 

The purpose of data processing usually determines the length of time within which your personal data is stored with us and the residue of data actually stored for this purpose. We collect and store personal data that is reasonably required by law or best practice to serve you or respond to legitimate enquiries about our transaction with you. We take this responsibility very seriously in the knowledge of the need for you to enjoy your privacy as guaranteed under the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and international human rights law. 

10.0 WEBSITE LINKS: 

MYLI website may contain links to other websites. Save and except as otherwise expressly stated by us, any link to another website is not covered by our privacy policy. We strongly advise that you should satisfy yourself with the details of any privacy policy provided on other websites or links. 

11.0 TRANSFER TO THIRD PARTIES AND COUNTRIES 

In carrying out our mandate effectively, we may require the services of third parties who may be within or outside the NDPR jurisdiction (Nigeria). Examples of such services include but are not limited to legitimate data subject interest. 

In transferring your data to third parties, we shall be guided by extant public policy and the NDPR as regards the adequacy level of the foreign jurisdictions. See PART 2 Article 2.11 and PART 3 under the NDPR for details of your right under this section.

MYLI believes parents should be responsible for supervising the online activities of their children, and take into account various tools that allow them to provide their children with a controlled, child-friendly Internet. These tools are designed to preclude children from releasing personal information online without the permission of their parents. If MYLI becomes aware that a minor has submitted information on its site, MYLI reserves the right to request proof that the parent or guardian has permitted use by the minor of the site; otherwise MYLI reserves the right to delete the relevant information and the minor’s registration on the site.
