Privacy policy

Last updated: 13 November 2026

Transformation College of Business & Technology (“TCBT”, “we”, “us”) is a non-profit, tuition-free virtual college based at 7 Ogundele Street, Ikotun, Lagos, Nigeria. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we look after it and the choices you have. We process personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and, where it applies to you, other data protection laws.

1. Who is responsible for your information

TCBT is the data controller for the personal information described here. You can contact us about privacy at info@transformationcollege.org or on WhatsApp at +234 912 718 3212.

2. What we collect

• When you register or enrol: your first and last name, email address, phone or WhatsApp number, postal address, country, highest qualification, occupation, date of birth, sex, how you heard about us, any referral code, and the name of any sponsor or patron you give us.
• When you contact us: your name, contact details and what you write to us.
• When you study with us: your attendance, assessments, results and the certificates we issue.
• When you check a certificate: the certificate number or name you enter.
• When you give: your name and the amount and date of your gift. Card payments are handled by Paystack; we do not see or store your card details.
• When you use this website: basic technical information such as pages visited, browser type and approximate location, collected by our website analytics.

3. Why we use it, and our lawful basis

• To process your application, run your programme, assess your work and issue certificates (to carry out our agreement with you).
• To confirm whether a certificate is genuine when someone asks us to (our legitimate interest, and yours, in protecting the value of your certificate).
• To reply to your messages and keep you informed about your programme (our legitimate interest, or our agreement with you).
• To send news and updates about TCBT, but only if you have agreed. You can withdraw at any time (your consent).
• To keep records we must keep by law, and to improve our programmes and this website (legal obligation and legitimate interest).

4. Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only where needed with:

• service providers who help us run the college, such as our website host, learning portal, email and messaging services, video platform and payment provider (Paystack), under appropriate safeguards;
• a sponsor or patron you have named, limited to what is needed for the sponsorship;
• a person or organisation checking a certificate, limited to confirming whether it is genuine and the details printed on it;
• authorities where the law requires us to.

5. Class recordings

Our live classes are recorded and may be published on our YouTube channel and in our class recordings library so that learners can catch up. If you would rather not appear, keep your camera off and use the chat, or tell your facilitator before the class.

6. International transfers

Some of our service providers store data outside Nigeria. Where this happens, we take steps to make sure your information is protected to the standard the law requires.

7. How long we keep it

We keep application and study records for as long as needed to run your programme and to confirm your certificate in future, and other information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected for or as the law requires. Contact messages are deleted when they are no longer needed.

8. How we protect it

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including access controls and secure connections. TCBT is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 21001:2018.

9. Your rights

You have the right to ask for a copy of your information, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict how we use it, to withdraw consent, and to ask for your data in a portable form. To use any of these rights, email info@transformationcollege.org. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.

10. Children

Our programmes are for adults. If you are under 18, please ask a parent or guardian to contact us before you register.
