For the purposes of applicable data protection law, Ominet Digital may act as a data controller where we determine why and how personal information is processed. In some circumstances, we may act as a data processor on behalf of another organisation.

Depending on how you interact with Ominet Digital, we may collect different categories of information.
This may include:
You are generally free not to provide information requested through our forms. However, some information may be necessary for us to provide a particular service, process a transaction or respond to a request.
When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, depending on the technologies and services active on the website. This may include:
We use this information primarily to operate, secure, maintain and improve our website and services.
Ominet Digital may use cookies, pixels, local storage and similar technologies for purposes such as:
Where required by law, non-essential cookies will only be activated after the appropriate consent has been obtained. Our Cookie Policy should explain the specific cookies and similar technologies actually deployed on the website.
We may process personal information for the following purposes:
To provide and maintain the website, deliver requested content, operate website features, remember relevant preferences, diagnose technical problems, and maintain website security.
To respond to enquiries, communicate about projects or services, respond to customer or reader questions, send administrative messages, and provide information you have requested.
Where you voluntarily provide information for publication or editorial purposes, we may process that information to publish articles, interviews, reviews or other material; attribute contributions; communicate with contributors; manage editorial submissions; and maintain appropriate publication records. We will not publish personal information merely because it has been submitted to us. Where publication of personal information is contemplated, the relevant circumstances and lawful basis will be considered.
Where Ominet Digital offers books, digital products, creative resources or other products, we may process information necessary to process orders, confirm purchases, deliver products, provide downloads, manage customer support, maintain transaction records, and prevent fraud or misuse. Where payment is processed by a third-party payment provider, payment credentials such as card numbers, CVV codes or PINs should be handled by the payment provider rather than stored directly by Ominet Digital.
We may process information required to receive service enquiries, prepare proposals, schedule projects, communicate with clients, provide creative, digital, research, media or technology services, maintain project records, and manage bookings and appointments.
If you subscribe to an Ominet Digital newsletter, we may use your email address to send the communications you requested. You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in the communication or by contacting info@ominetdigital.com.ng.
We may use aggregated or appropriately protected information to understand which pages are useful, how visitors discover the website, which content receives engagement, how the website performs, and where improvements are needed.
We may process information to detect suspicious activity, prevent abuse, protect our systems, investigate security incidents, enforce our terms, and protect our users, organisation and services.
We may process personal information where necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, lawful requests, court orders or regulatory requirements.
Where applicable, Ominet Digital will process personal information on a lawful basis recognised by applicable data protection law. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent, although withdrawal will not affect processing that was lawfully carried out before withdrawal. The Nigeria Data Protection Act requires processing to be founded on a recognised lawful basis and emphasises fair, lawful and transparent processing — see the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.
Ominet Digital aims to collect only information that is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it is being processed. We do not ask visitors to provide personal information simply because it might be useful in the future. Where a form does not require a particular field, we will avoid making that field unnecessarily mandatory.
Unless specifically required for a legitimate and lawful purpose, Ominet Digital does not intentionally request or seek highly sensitive personal information through ordinary website interactions. You should not submit passwords, payment-card details, government identification numbers, financial credentials, medical records or other highly sensitive information through ordinary contact forms unless we specifically instruct you to do so through a secure and appropriate channel.
Our website is primarily intended for a general audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children for purposes that require parental consent. Where a service specifically involves children, young people, schools, research participants or other vulnerable groups, additional privacy and safeguarding requirements may apply. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us in circumstances where it should not have been collected, please contact info@ominetdigital.com.ng.
Ominet Digital may integrate third-party services into the website or its products. Depending on which services are actually active, these may include providers for:
Third-party services may process information according to their own privacy policies. The website should maintain an accurate list of material third-party services actually connected to production systems rather than listing services that are merely planned for future use.
Where Ominet Digital accepts online payments, payments may be processed through a third-party payment provider. Ominet Digital does not intend to store full payment-card numbers, card security codes or payment PINs on its own servers. Payment information should be submitted through the payment provider's secure payment environment.
Transaction information may nevertheless be retained for legitimate purposes such as confirming payment, fulfilling an order, accounting, refunds, customer support, fraud prevention, and legal and regulatory compliance.
Ominet Digital takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, unauthorised disclosure, loss, alteration, destruction, misuse, and accidental disclosure.
Security measures may include access controls, authentication, encryption where appropriate, secure hosting, system monitoring, backups, restricted administrative access and audit records.
No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot promise absolute security. Where a security incident occurs, Ominet Digital will assess and respond to it in accordance with applicable law and its internal incident-response procedures.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Retention periods may depend on:
When information is no longer required, we may delete it, anonymise it or securely dispose of it.
Some service providers used by Ominet Digital may process or store information outside Nigeria. Where personal information is transferred across borders, Ominet Digital will take reasonable steps to ensure that the transfer is conducted in accordance with applicable data protection requirements and that appropriate safeguards are in place where required. The specific countries and safeguards may depend on the third-party services actually connected to the website.
Subject to applicable law and any relevant limitations, you may have rights including:
Not every right applies in every circumstance. Some requests may be subject to lawful exemptions or limitations. To exercise a privacy right, contact info@ominetdigital.com.ng.
We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. This is intended to protect personal information from being disclosed to someone who is not authorised to receive it.
Where you have subscribed to receive newsletters or marketing communications, Ominet Digital may send you relevant information about new books, articles, publications, media, products, services, projects, events, announcements, and other Ominet Digital activities.
You can opt out at any time. Every applicable marketing email contains a clear unsubscribe link.
The Ominet Digital website may contain links to external websites, including book retailers, publishing platforms, payment providers, research platforms, social media platforms, partner organisations, affiliate websites, and other third-party services.
Ominet Digital is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of external websites. You should review the privacy policy of any external website before providing personal information.
Ominet Digital may occasionally participate in affiliate programmes. Where an affiliate relationship exists, clicking a link may allow the relevant third party or affiliate network to identify that a visitor came through our website. Affiliate arrangements do not give Ominet Digital access to your private payment credentials held by the retailer or payment provider. Where appropriate, affiliate relationships will be disclosed alongside relevant content.
Ominet Digital may display advertising from third-party advertising providers or direct commercial partners. Advertising technologies may use cookies or similar technologies to measure advertising performance or provide relevant advertising, subject to applicable law and the choices available to users. The website clearly distinguishes advertising from editorial content. Where advertising involves third-party tracking technologies, those technologies are documented in the Cookie Policy and managed through the website's consent mechanism where required.
Ominet Digital may use website analytics and search tools to understand how visitors use the website and to improve the discovery of content. Analytics information may include technical and behavioural information such as pages visited, approximate location, device type, traffic source and interactions. Where a third-party analytics provider is used, its processing is also subject to that provider's terms and privacy practices.
Ominet Digital aims to incorporate privacy and data protection into the design of its systems and services rather than treating privacy as an afterthought. This includes:
The NDPC's current guidance specifically emphasises privacy by design and by default — see the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.
Ominet Digital does not intend to make decisions producing significant legal or similarly significant effects about individuals solely through automated processing unless appropriate safeguards and legal requirements are satisfied. Where automated tools are used for ordinary website functions, analytics, search, recommendations or content organisation, they are not represented as making significant decisions about users unless that functionality actually exists.
Ominet Digital may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our services, technology, applicable law, third-party services, or data processing practices. When we make material changes, we will update the Last Updated date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
The current version is always available at www.ominetdigital.com.ng.

By using the Ominet Digital website, you acknowledge that you have had an opportunity to read this Privacy Policy. Where applicable law requires consent for a particular processing activity, we will seek that consent separately rather than treating mere use of the website as blanket consent.
