Privacy Policy

This policy explains how BlockAfric processes personal data on Koinos, in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA).

• Account data: name, email, phone, headline, skills, experience and profile photo.
• Learning data: enrolments, lesson progress, ratings and reviews.
• Hackathon data: applications, team membership, submissions and judging scores.
• Payment data: transaction references, amounts and status. Card details are handled by Lotus Bank or Stripe and never stored by us.
• Technical data: device, browser and usage logs.

To provide courses and the hackathon, verify payments, issue scholarships, award Koino points and badges, match builders with corporate members, send programme updates, prevent fraud and improve the platform.

Public profile fields you choose to publish are visible on the network. Detailed candidate profiles are visible only to corporate members you are unlocked to, or that you apply to.

We share data with service providers (hosting, payments, email/SMS/WhatsApp messaging, AI learning assistance) under confidentiality obligations. We do not sell personal data.

When you use the lesson explainer or learning path advisor, your question and relevant lesson context are sent to an AI model to generate a response. Do not include sensitive personal information in these prompts.

We keep account data while your account is active and for up to 24 months after closure. Payment records are kept for 6 years to meet accounting obligations.

You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your data, and withdraw consent to marketing at any time. You may also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.

We use encryption in transit, access controls and server-side authorisation for paid content and private data. No system is fully secure; we will notify affected users of any material breach as required by law.
