Who we are
The Umm Fariha Network is registered in Nigeria as the Incorporated Trustees of Umm Fariha Empowerment Association, CAC Registration No. CAC/IT/NO 83924. We are the controller of the personal data described here. You can reach us at contact@ummfariha.org.
What we collect and why
- Mailing list. If you subscribe, we receive your first name and email address so we can send you our community emails. We rely on your consent, and every email has a link to unsubscribe. The list is run by Flodesk, which processes the data for us and may store it outside Nigeria and the UK under its own safeguards.
- Your privacy choice. Your browser keeps your choice for six months. So that we can show what was agreed, our server also records a random ID, your choice, the policy version and the time. No IP address, name or email is stored with it, and these records are deleted after three years.
- Emails you send us. If you write to us, we use your message and address only to reply.
Our links to WhatsApp, YouTube, Spotify and Instagram take you to those services, which have their own privacy policies.
