Your information, your choices.
Effective 2026-09-18. Nordic Bridge Partner AB, the founding organisation behind the Nordic–Nigeria Green Cities Initiative (NNGCI) and its Nordic–Nigeria Green Cities Summit (NNGCS), is the point of contact for information submitted through these programme forms. Contact info@nngcs.ng about privacy requests.
What we collect and why
We process the information you choose to provide, such as your name, contact details, location, organisation, interests, submitted plans and programme activity. We use it to answer enquiries, assess applications, operate approved programmes, protect participants, maintain learning and service records and communicate about your submission. We use information needed to administer a requested service or application, meet applicable duties and pursue legitimate programme administration where appropriate. When a use needs separate consent, such as optional AI feedback, we ask separately. Acknowledging this notice is not consent to unrelated marketing.
National membership and volunteering
Applications include your contact details, pathway, skills, availability and motivation. Staff assess suitability and may verify relevant details. If approved, details needed for placement may be shared with authorised chapter or programme leads. Optional accessibility information is used to arrange participation support and should be limited to what is necessary. Membership, employment, placement and leadership do not follow automatically from an application.
University and State Chapters
We review applicant, institution or organisation, proposed team, plans and authorisation details to consider chapter recognition. We may contact a named institutional adviser or representative to verify support. If you name someone else, tell them about this use first and share only necessary details. Recognition requires separate verification and written approval.
Community project concepts
We review project locations, proposals, collaborators, potential beneficiaries and safeguards for feasibility and possible partnerships. Relevant technical or institutional reviewers may need access to particular proposal details. Only the field marked public summary may be considered for publication after an additional editorial decision. Do not put private, sensitive or confidential details in that summary. Submission alone does not make a project public or approved.
Patron interest and nomination
We use professional biographies, contact details and suggested contributions for an initial suitability review. A person nominating someone else should inform that person and have an appropriate basis to share their details. No person is publicly named or appointed as a patron solely because this form was sent. These enquiries currently open an email draft, which you must send from your own email application; your email provider will also process that message.
Accounts and learning
Non-member learners provide a name, email and password to create a verified-email account. Approved members can use their approved membership email to sign in. Account credentials and verification are handled by the authentication provider. We record enrolment, goals, course activity, answers, scores, applied work and completion records so you can resume learning and authorised staff can review progress. Assessment results inform learning and review, but do not automatically award membership or appointment.
Advanced Academy records
The Advanced Sustainable Cities Programme records module and lesson progress, learning time, assessments, feedback, competency evidence, stage projects, capstone work, resource activity and certificates. These records support progression, recommendations, review and credential verification. Assessment details are private. A public verification page displays only the learner name, credential, issue date, status and certificate number. A capstone or learner project requires a separate explicit choice before it can be featured publicly, and nomination does not make it an official NNGCI project.
Optional AI feedback on assignments
If you select the separate AI feedback choice on an applied assignment, its written response is sent to OpenAI to generate formative comments. The response is saved in your learning record whether or not you choose AI feedback. The evidence link is not needed for that feedback. Leave the choice unchecked to submit without sending the response to OpenAI. Avoid including personal or sensitive information about yourself or others in assignments.
How long we keep records
We retain submissions while they are under review and for as long as needed to administer the relevant relationship, maintain an appropriate record of decisions and resolve disputes or meet applicable duties. Learning and membership records are retained while needed for account and programme continuity. We review older records and delete or de-identify them when no longer needed, subject to legal preservation. Contact us for the retention criteria relevant to a particular record or to request deletion.
Your rights and questions
You can ask what information we hold about you and request correction, deletion, restriction or a copy where applicable. You may object to particular uses or withdraw an optional consent without affecting an earlier lawful use. Some requests may be limited by applicable legal duties. Email info@nngcs.ng with “Privacy request” in the subject and enough information to identify the relevant account or submission. You may also raise a concern with the relevant data protection authority. We may need to verify your identity before releasing or changing records.
