Privacy Policy

A Talented Tribe with Purpose (ATTP) is a youth development organisation based in Lagos, Nigeria. Registration of Advancing Youthful Talent Through Purpose Foundation is ongoing. ATTP runs the Teen Innovators Challenge, Teen Innovators Accelerator, Launchpad and ATTP Conversations. Individual programmes have their own eligibility criteria. Our contact address for all privacy matters is info@attpglobal.com.

We collect personal data in the following categories:

(a) Identity data: full name, date of birth, gender, and a profile photograph where provided. (b) Contact data: email address, phone number, and home city or state. (c) Application and programme data: written responses, project submissions, mentor feedback, attendance records, and programme progress. (d) Payment data: transaction references and payment status processed via Paystack. We do not store full card numbers; those are handled by Paystack under its own privacy regime. (e) Media: photographs and video recordings taken during ATTP events, workshops, or cohort sessions. (f) Usage data: IP address, browser type, and pages visited when you use our website.

We collect sensitive personal data only where it is necessary for a stated purpose, such as accessibility support, safeguarding, or private identity verification. We explain why it is needed, restrict access to named authorised people, and do not publish identity documents or place them in public folders.

We process personal data under the following lawful bases as recognised by the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) and, where applicable, the UK/EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

(a) Contract performance: to administer your application, enrol you in a programme, communicate programme schedules, and process fees. (b) Legitimate interests: to improve our programmes, understand participant outcomes, and operate our organisation effectively, where these interests are not overridden by your rights. (c) Consent: to send you marketing communications, publish your photograph or video on our channels, or process data about a participant under 18 where a parent or guardian has provided consent on their behalf. (d) Legal obligation: to maintain financial records and comply with applicable Nigerian law.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time by writing to info@attpglobal.com.

ATTP programmes are open to participants from the age of 13. Where a participant is under 18, we require verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian before processing that participant's personal data beyond what is strictly necessary to respond to an enquiry. Consent forms are issued at point of application and must be returned before enrolment is confirmed. Parents and guardians may contact us at any time to review, correct, or request deletion of their child's data.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected:

(a) Application records (including unsuccessful applications): two years from the date of the application decision. (b) Active participant records: for the duration of the programme plus two years. (c) Payment and financial records: seven years from the date of the transaction, to comply with Nigerian financial regulations. (d) Safeguarding records: until the child turns 25, or for 10 years from the date of the incident where it involves an adult, whichever is longer. (e) Website usage data: 12 months.

After these periods, data is securely deleted or anonymised.

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only in the following circumstances:

(a) Service providers who process data on our behalf (e.g. Paystack for payments, Google for cloud storage, email platforms for communications). All processors are required to handle your data in accordance with applicable law. (b) Programme partners or co-facilitators who need access to participant data to deliver a specific session or module, and who are bound by confidentiality obligations. (c) Regulatory or law enforcement authorities where we are legally required to disclose information. (d) In anonymised, aggregated form for impact reporting to funders.

Where data is transferred outside Nigeria, we ensure an adequate level of protection is in place consistent with section 43 of the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.

You have the right to:

(a) Access a copy of the personal data we hold about you. (b) Correct any inaccurate or incomplete data. (c) Request deletion of your data where we no longer have a lawful basis to retain it. (d) Object to processing based on legitimate interests. (e) Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. (f) Lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) if you believe we have handled your data unlawfully.

To exercise any of these rights, write to info@attpglobal.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Our website uses cookies to make it function correctly and to understand how visitors use it. We use strictly necessary cookies (which cannot be disabled), and, with your consent, analytics cookies to measure traffic and engagement. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time via the cookie banner on our site. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

We may update this policy from time to time. We will publish the revised version with a new effective date. Where a change materially affects how we use personal data, we will notify affected people and seek fresh consent where consent is the lawful basis. Silence or continued participation will not be treated as consent where fresh consent is required.

For questions, rights requests, or complaints about how we handle personal data, contact info@attpglobal.com. You may also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission. Version 2.0, effective August 2026. Next review: August 2027.
