Privacy Policy
Who we are
Our website address is: https://elevateafricahub.org.
We are a digital platform dedicated to providing educational resources, tools, and content to support growth across Africa.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. After approval, your profile picture may be visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website (for example, in community areas or comments), please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors may be able to extract this information.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last up to one year.
When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set cookies to save your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, or two weeks if “Remember Me” is selected.
If you edit or publish content, a cookie is saved indicating the post ID. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles or pages may include embedded content (such as videos or external resources). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the external site directly, which may collect data, use cookies, or track interactions.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell or rent your personal data.
Your information may be shared with trusted service providers (such as payment processors, email delivery services, or security tools) strictly to operate the website and deliver services.
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.
How long we retain your data
Comments and related metadata may be retained indefinitely to help recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
If you create an account, we store the personal information you provide in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information at any time (except your username). Administrators can also access and update this information when necessary.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we delete your personal data, except where we are required to retain it for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services. Some data may be processed by secure third-party platforms that help us deliver our services (such as hosting, analytics, and email systems).
