Most scholarships discussed on Mimblog Edu are operated by third-party universities, governments or scholarship organisations.

When you click an application link and leave Mimblog Edu, any information you submit is generally provided directly to that third party.

If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase or complete another qualifying action, Mimblog Edu may receive compensation.

The external company may collect information about your interaction with its website according to its own privacy policy.

Affiliate relationships do not give Mimblog Edu unrestricted access to personal information you provide to the external company.

• Respond to a lawful court order
• Respond to requests from authorised public authorities
• Investigate fraud
• Enforce our Terms of Service
• Protect the security of Mimblog Edu

Sale or Business Transfer

If Mimblog Edu or the business operating it is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale or transfer of assets, information associated with the website may form part of the transferred assets.

Any successor should handle personal information subject to applicable privacy law.

We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information

Mimblog Edu does not sell personal information to third parties in exchange for money.

Advertising technologies may involve limited data sharing or processing by advertising providers, depending on the technologies in use and your privacy settings.

Where applicable law gives users additional rights concerning such processing, we will seek to honour those rights.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for:

• The purposes described in this Privacy Policy
• Providing requested services
• Maintaining appropriate records
• Preventing fraud or abuse
• Security
• Resolving disputes
• Compliance with legal obligations

Different categories of information may have different retention periods.

We may anonymise or aggregate information so that it can no longer reasonably identify you. Such information may be retained for statistical or analytical purposes.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect information against:

• Unauthorised access
• Loss
• Misuse
• Disclosure
• Alteration
• Destruction

These measures may include access restrictions, secure hosting practices, software updates, backups and other appropriate security measures.

However, no website, internet transmission or electronic storage system can guarantee absolute security.

You should also take reasonable steps to protect your own information.

Data Breaches

If a personal data breach occurs that creates notification obligations under applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the incident and make required notifications to affected persons or authorities.

International Data Transfers

Mimblog Edu is accessible internationally.

Some service providers we use may process or store data in countries other than the country where you live.

Those countries may have different data-protection laws.

Where required, we will seek to use lawful safeguards for international transfers of personal information.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law and your location, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

These can include the right to:

• Ask whether we process personal information about you
• Request access to personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of information in appropriate circumstances
• Object to certain processing
• Request restriction of processing
• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent
• Request information about how your data is used
• Request data portability where applicable
• Lodge a complaint with an appropriate data-protection authority

These rights can be subject to legal exceptions.

For example, we may need to retain certain records where required by law or where necessary to establish or defend legal claims.

Withdrawing Consent

Where we process your information based on consent, you may withdraw your consent.

Withdrawal does not automatically make processing that occurred before withdrawal unlawful.

For example, you can unsubscribe from optional marketing or newsletter communications at any time.

Correcting Your Information

If you believe information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may contact us and request a correction.

We may need to verify your identity before changing personal information.

Requesting Deletion

You may request deletion of personal information we hold about you where applicable.

We may refuse or limit a deletion request when information needs to be retained for:

• Legal obligations
• Fraud prevention
• Security
• Establishing or defending legal claims
• Other lawful reasons

Identity Verification

Before responding to certain privacy requests, we may ask for information necessary to confirm that the person making the request is the person whose information is involved.

This helps prevent unauthorised disclosure or deletion.

We will not intentionally request more information than reasonably necessary for verification.

Complaints

If you have concerns about how Mimblog Edu handles personal information, please contact us first so we can review the matter.

Where applicable, you may also have the right to complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission or another data-protection authority with jurisdiction over your information.

Children’s Privacy

Mimblog Edu provides educational information that may be useful to secondary school students, including students who may be under the age of 18.

We do not knowingly seek unnecessary sensitive information from children.

If applicable law requires parental or guardian consent before a minor can provide certain personal information, the minor should obtain that consent before submitting the information.

Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately may contact us to request review or deletion where applicable.

Do Not Submit Sensitive Information Unnecessarily

Scholarship research generally does not require you to send Mimblog Edu highly sensitive personal documents.

Unless specifically required for a clearly identified service, do not send us:

• Passport copies
• National identification numbers
• Bank account details
• Credit card information
• Passwords
• Medical records
• Biometric information
• Complete academic certificates containing unnecessary personal identifiers

When applying for a scholarship through an external university or official provider, submit required documentation through that organisation’s official system.

Mimblog Edu may maintain social media accounts.

When you communicate with us through social media, the platform may collect and process information according to its own privacy policy.

We do not control how third-party social networks process your information.

External Embedded Content

Articles may include embedded content such as:

• Videos
• Images

Embedded content may behave as though you visited the external provider’s website directly.

The external provider may use cookies or collect information according to its own policies.

Browser Controls

Most browsers allow users to:

• Block cookies

• Disable certain technologies

Changing browser settings can affect how Mimblog Edu functions.

Do Not Track Signals
