Privacy Policy

An-Nur International School ("we", "our", "the school") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of our pupils, parents, and staff. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard personal data in compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) and the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR).

1. What we collect

We collect information necessary to admit, educate, and safeguard your child. This includes:

• Child identity & wellbeing: Full name, date of birth, age, sex, state of origin, languages spoken at home, and daily routines.
• Health & medical data (Special Category): Blood group, genotype, allergies, sight, hearing, speech, hereditary conditions, and general health problems.
• Parent/guardian details: Names, occupations, contact numbers, emails, and home/daytime addresses.
• Education history: Previous schools attended, report cards, and relationships with teachers/classmates.
• Emergency information: Emergency contacts, family hospital/clinic details, and HMO/card numbers.
• Correspondence: Messages sent via our website contact form or WhatsApp.

Note: We do not collect payment card numbers or bank details through this website.

2. Why we use it and lawful bases

We process this data to:

• Process admission applications and place children in the correct pathway/class.
• Fulfill our contractual duty to educate and care for your child.
• Comply with legal safeguarding and child-protection obligations.
• Communicate with you regarding school activities, fees, and emergencies.

Health data is processed under explicit parental consent and vital interests (medical emergencies).

3. Who we share it with

We never sell your data. We only share it with:

• Authorized teaching and administrative staff who need it to support your child.
• The school's secure management system/portal (e.g., Kole portal) for record-keeping.
• Medical providers or emergency services in the event of a health crisis.
• Regulators or law enforcement, only when legally required.

4. How this website handles data

The online admission form on this website is designed for privacy:

• No database: Nothing you type into the online form is transmitted to or stored on our servers.
• Print/Save PDF: When you print or save the form, the PDF is generated entirely on your device.
• WhatsApp exit: If you choose to send the form via WhatsApp, the message opens in your WhatsApp app for you to review and send manually to the Admissions line. Nothing auto-transmits.

5. Cookies and analytics

This website sets no tracking or advertising cookies. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is privacy-focused and cookieless. Therefore, no cookie consent banner is required.

6. Retention

Admission records are kept only as long as necessary for the admissions process. If your child is admitted, data is transferred to the school's official pupil register and retained according to our educational record-keeping policies. If not admitted, data is securely deleted within one academic year.

7. Security

We implement strict physical and digital safeguards. Access to pupil health and personal data is restricted to staff who require it for safeguarding or educational purposes. Paper forms are kept in locked cabinets in the school office.

8. Your rights

Under the NDPA, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about your child.
• Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of data (subject to legal/educational retention requirements).
• Withdraw consent for processing special category (health) data.
• Lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC).

9. Children

The data we collect is inherently about children. It is handled strictly under the school's child-safeguarding policy. We require explicit parental/guardian consent via the admission form declaration before processing any application.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Material changes will be communicated to parents via the school's official channels.
