Automated Technologies: Cookies, server logs, web beacons, and analytics tools as you interact with our website or digital ecosystem.
Third-Party Sources: Educational institutions, secondary schools, sports academies, athletic scouts, reference providers, and official testing bodies (e.g., ETS, British Council) acting upon your authorization.
We process your personal data under the following legal bases and operational purposes:
| Purpose of Processing | Legal Basis |
| Evaluating eligibility for university admissions, scholarships, and athletic programs | Performance of a Contract / Explicit Consent |
| Processing application submissions to partner institutions, sports academies, and visa authorities | Performance of a Contract / Legal Obligation |

SilverBridge Scholars Enterprises does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We may share your data with trusted third parties strictly necessary to deliver our services:
Partner Institutions & Sports Entities: Universities, colleges, sports academies, collegiate athletic departments, scouts, and scholarship granting bodies for processing admissions and athletic recruitment.
Third-Party Service Providers: Cloud hosting providers, CRM platforms, document verification services, IT security hosts, and payment gateways operating under strict non-disclosure and data processing agreements.
Government & Visa Authorities: Foreign embassies, high commissions, immigration departments, and regulatory bodies (e.g., CAC, SMEDAN, NDPC) when legally required or necessary for visa processing.
Legal & Compliance Bodies: Law enforcement agencies, legal counsel, auditors, or courts when required by law or to protect against legal claims, fraud, or security threats.
Because our services involve placing students and athletes in international programs, your personal data will be transferred across international borders (e.g., to institutions in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia).
When transferring data internationally, we implement appropriate safeguards—including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), data transfer agreements, and institutional verification—to ensure your personal data receives a level of protection consistent with NDPA and GDPR standards.
We implement robust technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure:
Encryption: End-to-end encryption (SSL/TLS) for data in transit and secure encryption standards for data at rest within our digital ecosystem.
Access Control: Restricted access granted only to authorized personnel on a strict "need-to-know" basis.
Regular Audits: Routine security assessments, software updates, vulnerability scans, and system monitoring.
While we take every reasonable precaution, no online transmission or electronic storage method can be guaranteed 100% secure. You are responsible for keeping your account login credentials confidential.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, complete placement services, satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, or enforce our agreements.
Active Files: Retained for the duration of your client engagement and application cycle.
Archived Records: Retained for up to seven (7) years post-service completion to satisfy legal, audit, and regulatory requirements, after which records are securely destroyed or anonymized.
Under applicable data protection laws (including the NDPA and GDPR), you hold specific rights regarding your personal data:
Right to Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information.
Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): Request deletion of your personal data where there is no legal requirement for us to retain it.
Right to Restrict or Object to Processing: Object to or restrict the processing of your data under specific conditions (e.g., direct marketing).
Right to Data Portability: Request transfer of your data to another organization in a structured, machine-readable format.
Right to Withdraw Consent: Withdraw previously granted consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
To exercise any of these rights, submit a written request to our Data Protection Team at the contact details provided below.
Our website or digital ecosystem may contain links to external third-party websites, athletic portals, university application systems, or payment processors. SilverBridge Scholars Enterprises is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of external sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party platform you visit.
Our services frequently assist high school students and young athletes under the age of 18. Where processing personal data involves a minor under the legal age of consent (18 years in Nigeria), we require explicit written consent and authorization from a parent or legal guardian prior to collecting or processing personal data.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SilverBridge Scholars Enterprises, its directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from unauthorized access, cyberattacks, or third-party data breaches beyond our reasonable technical control, provided we have maintained statutory security standards.
We reserve the right to update, modify, or revise this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in legal requirements, operational practices, or technology. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date." Continued use of our website or services following modifications constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
