Privacy Policy

InnovaVision Africa ("we," "our," or "us") is a pan-African non-profit organisation headquartered in N'Djamena, Chad. We are committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who interacts with our website, programmes, events, research, and services.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over it. By using our website or participating in our activities, you agree to the practices described here.

• Contact details you provide (name, email address, phone number) when submitting enquiry forms, registering for events, or subscribing to our newsletter.
• Professional or organisational information (employer, role, sector) when applying to programmes or partnership opportunities.
• Programme application data submitted when applying to our accelerators, hackathons, or capacity-building initiatives.
• Technical data automatically collected when you browse our website (IP address, browser type, device, pages visited, referral source) via cookies and analytics tools.
• Communications you send us, including emails, feedback submissions, and media enquiries.

• To process enquiries, applications, and event registrations.
• To send programme updates, newsletters, and communications you have opted into.
• To improve our website, content, and services based on usage patterns.
• To measure the reach and impact of our initiatives across Africa.
• To comply with legal or regulatory obligations applicable in the Republic of Chad and relevant international frameworks.
• To contact you about partnership or collaboration opportunities you have expressed interest in.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. As a non-profit, our mission is to serve the public good — not to monetise your data.

We may share information with trusted service providers (such as email platforms or analytics tools) who process data strictly on our behalf and under confidentiality obligations. We may also share information where required by applicable law or to protect the safety of our beneficiaries and staff.

We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. These include encrypted data transmission, access controls, and periodic security reviews.

No transmission over the internet is entirely risk-free. While we do our best to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Erasure — request that we delete your data where we no longer have a legitimate reason to retain it.
• Objection — object to our use of your data for direct communications at any time.
• Withdrawal of consent — unsubscribe from our newsletter or opt out of non-essential communications at any time.

We use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use our website and to improve the experience. This includes session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) and analytics cookies (e.g. page views, traffic sources).

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Doing so may affect some website functionality but will not prevent you from accessing our content.

InnovaVision Africa operates across the African continent and works with partners internationally. Your information may be processed in countries outside Chad. We take steps to ensure appropriate protections are in place wherever your data is handled.

Our website and general communications are not directed at children under 16. If you are under 16 and wish to participate in one of our youth programmes, parental or guardian consent is required.

If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal data from a minor without appropriate consent, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically as our activities evolve. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy from time to time.
