Collection and Use of Data

What personal data does CLRNN collect?

The Commercial Law Research Network Nigeria (‘CLRNN’) routinely collects information including members’ names, addresses, relevant qualifications, institutional affiliations, employment history, areas of interest, email addresses and telephone numbers.  We collect this contact data directly from our members when they join the network, and it is updated as and when members inform us of any changes.

On occasion, we may take your photograph or include your image in the videos we make at CLRNN events; both will be done with express consent collected at the commencement of the relevant event. CLRNN does not collect any special categories of special data.

How CLRNN uses your data:

CLRNN uses the collected data for the administration of membership, the communication of information to members, as well as the organisation of its events.

How CLRNN shares your data:

CLRNN does not share any of your contact data with any other organisation, without your consent.

How CLRNN stores your data:

Your data is stored in secured digital formats that can only be accessed through passwords.

How CLRNN grants access to your data:

Access to your data is limited to the executive committee members, who are responsible for membership and the website only. Your name, affiliation and area(s) of specialisation are included in our members’ directory and shared on our website, unless expressly request to be excluded. We also use your name and affiliation to identify you in pictures and videos posted on-line.

Any information that is stored remotely is stored in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

How long CLRNN keeps your data, and why:

We keep your data for our legitimate interest as a membership organisation throughout your membership of CLRNN. All your contact data is deleted as soon as you terminate your membership. Personal data captured on documents, pictures, audio and video files, as well as those pertaining to former office and committee membership will be retained for archiving purposes, and names cannot be removed from them.

How to check or correct the data CLRNN holds about you:

If you want to see or modify the data CLRNN holds about you, please contact the convener or the secretary, through info@clrnn.net
