We may obtain personal information about you from our partners and third parties, including through your LinkedIn, Twitter, or other online profiles, as well as from other companies or subcontractors with whom we do business and who may have obtained such information from you voluntarily or on the basis of another legal justification.

When you use this website, we may also gather personal information about you through automated technologies, analytics companies, or search engine companies. Cookies help the site function as efficiently as possible. See our Cookies Policy for more information.

A cookie is a tiny file that is transferred from a server to your browser and kept on your computer’s hard disk. Most browsers allow users to prevent cookies from being sent, but doing so may make it more difficult for you to access some features on our websites. We do not gather personally identifiable data in this manner, but if you give us personally identifiable data, we might combine it with the data gathered automatically.

To show advertisements to users of our websites, we also work with outside advertising firms. These businesses may make use of data about visits to this and other websites (but not visitors’ identities, addresses, email addresses, or phone numbers).

Justification for using your information legally

When necessary to fulfil a contract with you (such as when you have requested services from us, and we are required to deliver them), we may only use your personal information with your permission. 

However, there are other legitimate grounds for which we may process your personal data, such as when doing so is in your best interest. This indicates that SCN Media has a legitimate interest in processing your information, which is why we are doing so.

We always consider your rights and interests while processing your personal data based on a “legitimate interest”, and we never process your personal information if we have a reason to suspect a disproportionate privacy impact on you.

 

Marketing

If you are a consumer and have explicitly consented to receiving marketing communications, we may try to engage you through your contact information and send you those communications. 

 

We may also use your contact information to send you marketing communications if you are not a consumer but have requested information from us, subscribed to one of our newsletters or publications, or have obtained your information from a third-party source unless you have opted out of receiving that marketing.

By getting in touch with us at any time or selecting the “unsubscribe” button in the pertinent email, you can demand that we or third party entities no longer send you marketing communications.

If you choose not to receive these marketing messages, we won’t use the personal information you gave us regarding a booking or other contract for services you have with us.

 

Change of direction 

Unless believe within reason that we need to use your personal data for another purpose, compatible with the original goal, we will only use it for those purposes for which we collected it. Please contact us if you’d like further information about how the processing for the new purpose is consistent with the original purpose.

 

If we need to use your personal data for a different reason, we’ll let you know and explain its legal justification.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or permisision in compliance with the stated rules where this is required or permitted by law.

  • Anyone who participated in the design or development of one of our publications. 
  • IT, security, software, marketing, advertising, and system management service and infrastructure providers.

International transfers

The processing of your personal data by any of our external third-party service providers or partners may include a transfer outside the African Economic Community if such parties are headquartered outside the AEC.

We make sure your personal information is given a comparable level of protection whenever we send it outside of the AU by ensuring that at least one of the following protections is in place:

  • Only nations that the African Union has determined to offer an appropriate degree of security for personal data will get your data from us. 
  • Where we work with particular service providers, we might use agreements approved by the African Union, giving personal data the same level of protection as the AU data protection law. 
  • When we work with service providers in the US, we may send personal data to them provided they are Privacy Shield compliant, meaning they must uphold an equivalent level of security for personal data sent between the AEC and the US.

Alternatively, we may transfer your personal information outside of the AU where permitted or required by data protection law.

Please contact us if you need more information on the exact method we employ to transfer your personal data outside the AEC.

 

Data protection

We have put the necessary security measures in place to guard against the unintentional loss, alteration, disclosure, or use of your personal information. Additionally, we only allow agents, employees, contractors, and other third party entities who have a business need to know access to your personal information. They have a confidentiality obligation and will only act following our instructions while processing your personal data.

  

When legally required, we will notify you and any relevant regulator of a breach and outline the process of dealing with any suspected breach of personal.

Before we use your personal data for our legitimate interests, we ensure we weigh all the potential good and bad effects on you and your rights.

YOUR RIGHTS LEGALLY

You are entitled to:

Make a “data access request” to obtain authority to access your personal information. This allows you to request a copy of our personal information on file for you and confirm its accuracy.

Request an update on the personal information we currently have about you. This gives you the chance to alter or change any incomplete or erroneous data we may have of you, albeit we will need to verify the veracity of any updated information you offer.

Request that your personal data be deleted. This gives you the option to request that we stop processing personal data if there is no compelling reason to do so. 

Additionally, you have the right to request that we erase your personal data in cases where you successfully exercised your right to object to data processing (see below), in which we may have evaluated your data improperly, or in which we are required to do so by local law. However, please be informed that there are some situations in which we may not always be able to honour your erasure request. If this is the case, we will let you know at the time of your request. 

Suppose we are processing your personal data for our (or a third party’s) legitimate interests, and something about your circumstances makes you want to object to processing on this basis. In that case, you have the right to do so.

In cases where we use your personal data for direct marketing, you also have the right to object. In some circumstances, we may be able to show that our legitimate processing needs outweigh our rights and freedoms.

Request a restriction on how your personal data is processed. This gives you the option to request that we stop processing your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • If you want us to verify the accuracy of the data.
  • If you do not want us to delete the data even though our use is illegal.
  • If you need us to keep the information even after we no longer need it, you need it to make, use, or defend legal claims.
  • Although you have objected to our use of your data, we must first determine whether we have overriding justifications for doing so. 

Ask for your personal data to be transferred to you or a third party. Your personal information will be delivered to you or a specified third party in a structured, generally accepted, machine-readable manner. Remember that this privilege only applies to automated information we utilized with your prior consent or to carry out a contract with you.

You can revoke your consent if we use it to process your personal data. However, the processing done before you withdrew your consent will still be legal. If you refuse, we might be unable to continue offering you some services. We will let you know when you withdraw your consent if this is the case.
