Your information. Our responsibility.

This Privacy Policy explains how the Nigeria Netball Federation handles information provided through this website and how we approach privacy when you interact with the Federation online.

Last updated: September 2026
OUR PRINCIPLE
We collect and use information for legitimate Federation purposes, and we aim to handle it responsibly, transparently and securely.
01

About this policy

The Nigeria Netball Federation ("NNF", "we", "us" or "our") respects the privacy of people who visit and use our website.

This policy describes the general approach we take to information that may be provided when you browse the website, contact us, submit information through a form, subscribe to communications or otherwise interact with NNF through our digital channels.

By using the website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

02

Information we may collect

Depending on how you interact with the website, we may receive information that you choose to provide to us.

Information you provide

This may include information such as your name, email address, telephone number, organisation, role, enquiry details and other information you include in a message or submission.

For example, information may be provided when you contact the Federation, make a membership enquiry, submit an enquiry concerning partnerships or media, or communicate with us about netball development.

Information collected through website use

Technical information may also be generated when you visit a website. Depending on the website's configuration and the services being used, this can include information such as browser type, device information, pages visited and general usage information.

We use such information only where appropriate for operating, maintaining, securing and improving the website and its services.

03

How we use information

Information provided to NNF may be used for purposes connected with the operation and administration of the Federation and its website.

  • Responding to enquiries and requests.
  • Communicating with members, players, coaches, officials, organisations and other stakeholders.
  • Managing enquiries relating to participation, development, teams, partnerships and media.
  • Providing information or services requested through the website.
  • Maintaining and improving the website.
  • Protecting the website and its users against misuse, fraud or security threats.
  • Meeting applicable legal, regulatory or administrative obligations.

We will not use personal information for purposes that are incompatible with the purpose for which it was collected without an appropriate basis for doing so.

04

Information sharing

NNF does not treat personal information as a commodity to be sold.

Information may be shared where this is necessary to operate the website, provide a requested service, respond to an enquiry, fulfil an administrative function, protect the Federation or its users, or comply with a legal obligation.

Where third-party service providers are involved in delivering website, communications, hosting, analytics or other technical services, their access to information should be limited to what is necessary for the relevant service.

IMPORTANT: We do not ask users to provide passwords, payment-card details or other highly sensitive information through ordinary website contact forms unless a specific service expressly requires it.
05

Cookies and similar technologies

The NNF website may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality, remember preferences, understand website usage or improve the experience provided to visitors.

Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on a device by a website. Some may be necessary for the website to function, while others may support analytics or additional functionality.

The availability and purpose of cookies can change as website services and third-party tools change. Where applicable, visitors can also manage cookie settings through their browser.

06

Data security

We take reasonable steps to protect information entrusted to the Federation from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

No website, online transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. For this reason, visitors should take appropriate care when deciding what information to submit online.

07

Data retention

Personal information will generally be retained only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, for legitimate Federation activities, or where retention is required by law or applicable administrative requirements.

The appropriate retention period may vary depending on the nature of the information and the reason it was collected.

08

Your rights and choices

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, individuals may have rights concerning personal information held about them.

  • Request information about how their personal information is being handled.
  • Request access to personal information held about them.
  • Ask for inaccurate or incomplete information to be corrected.
  • Raise questions or concerns about the use of their personal information.
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, subject to applicable limitations.

Requests should provide enough information for NNF to understand and respond to the request.

09

Children and young people

Netball is a sport with participation pathways that may involve children and young people. Where personal information concerning a child or young person is collected through a specific Federation activity, appropriate safeguards should apply to that activity.

Parents, guardians, schools, clubs and other responsible organisations should ensure that information submitted on behalf of children is accurate and appropriate for the purpose for which it is being provided.

If you believe that information concerning a child has been submitted to the website inappropriately, please contact NNF so that the matter can be reviewed.

10

Third-party websites

The NNF website may contain links to external websites, platforms, organisations or services.

Those websites operate independently of NNF and may have their own privacy policies, terms and data practices. We encourage visitors to review the privacy information of any external website before submitting personal information to it.

NNF is not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites simply because they are linked from our website.

11

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the website, Federation activities, technology, legal requirements or privacy practices.

When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page and the "Last updated" date will be revised accordingly.
