Policy.

01 Introduction

BridgePoint Growth & Consulting ("BridgePoint", "we", "our" or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly.

This Privacy Policy explains how we may collect, use, store and protect information when you visit our website, contact us, apply for a programme, register for an opportunity, engage our services, subscribe to communications or interact with BridgePoint through third-party platforms.

02 Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with BridgePoint, we may collect different categories of information.

We may also receive technical information such as browser type, device information, approximate location, IP address, pages visited and interaction information where such data is made available through website technologies or analytics tools.

03 How We Use Your Information

We may use information we collect for legitimate business, service-delivery and communication purposes, including to:

• Respond to enquiries and requests.
• Provide consulting, advisory, digital, talent, training or other services.
• Understand your business, professional or organisational needs.
• Process programme, training or event registrations.
• Support recruitment, talent sourcing and opportunity matching.
• Communicate relevant opportunities, events, insights and updates.
• Manage investor-readiness and capital-related enquiries.
• Improve our website, services, programmes and user experience.
• Maintain records and manage our business operations.
• Prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents or unlawful activity.
• Comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

We aim to collect and use information only for purposes that are relevant to our relationship with you and the services or opportunities you have requested or expressed interest in.

04 Forms, Applications & Registrations

BridgePoint may use online forms to collect information for activities such as talent registration, programme applications, investor registration, founder enquiries, partnership requests, newsletter subscriptions and service enquiries.

Information submitted through these forms may be used to assess your request, contact you, determine suitability, provide relevant information or connect you with an appropriate BridgePoint service, programme or opportunity.

05 Third-Party Platforms & Services

Some BridgePoint activities may rely on third-party platforms and services. These may include scheduling platforms, form providers, email services, communication platforms, analytics services, social media platforms and collaboration tools.

For example, you may be directed to external platforms such as Calendly, Google Forms, WhatsApp, LinkedIn or other services when interacting with certain BridgePoint activities.

When you leave our website and use a third-party platform, that platform's own privacy policy and terms may apply. BridgePoint does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.

06 Cookies & Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to help the website function, understand how visitors interact with our pages, remember preferences and improve the overall website experience.

Analytics or similar technologies may provide information such as pages viewed, approximate geographic information, device type, referral source and general usage patterns.

You can generally control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.

07 When We Share Information

BridgePoint does not sell your personal information simply because you have contacted us or used our website.

We may share information where reasonably necessary with:

• Service providers supporting our website, communications, scheduling, forms, analytics or business operations.
• Team members or authorised collaborators who need the information to deliver an agreed service or programme.
• Potential partners, employers, investors, funders or organisations where sharing is relevant to a request or opportunity and is appropriate or authorised.
• Professional advisers or authorities where required by law, regulation or a valid legal process.

We seek to limit information shared with third parties to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

08 Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to provide services, maintain business records, respond to enquiries, manage programme participation, resolve disputes and comply with applicable legal obligations.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it, subject to legal, operational or legitimate business requirements.

09 Data Security

BridgePoint takes reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect information against unauthorised access, misuse, loss, alteration or disclosure.

However, no internet transmission, website or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore understand that information transmitted online may carry inherent risks.

10 Your Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law and the circumstances of the processing, you may have rights relating to your personal information.

These may include the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of information where applicable.
• Object to or request restriction of certain processing.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Request information about how your data is being used.

Some rights may be subject to applicable legal exceptions, legitimate interests, contractual requirements or other lawful limitations.

11 Children's Privacy

Our website and professional services are primarily intended for businesses, organisations, professionals, students, founders and other users who can lawfully use the relevant services.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children where such collection is not appropriate or legally permitted.

12 International Data Transfers

Some of our technology providers, service providers, partners or platforms may operate outside Nigeria.

As a result, information submitted through our website or third-party platforms may be processed or stored in other countries, subject to applicable privacy and data-protection requirements.

Where required, we seek to use appropriate safeguards for relevant transfers and service-provider relationships.

13 Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, legal requirements or business practices.

When we make changes, we may update the "Last Updated" date displayed at the beginning of this policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
