Last updated: 25 June 2026
Blue Horizon Schools ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal data when you use our website, bluehorizon.sch.ng (the "Website"), or contact us through it.
We process personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 and the regulations and guidance issued by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC). For the purposes of this law, Blue Horizon Schools is the data controller of the personal data described below.
1. The personal data we collect
Depending on how you use the Website, we may collect:
- Enquiry and contact details: your name, phone number, email address, and the content of any message when you contact us or fill in an enquiry form.
- Admissions application details: where you apply for a place, information about the prospective student (such as name, date of birth, gender, and current school) and about the parent or guardian (such as name, contact details, and address). This information is provided by the parent or guardian.
- Payment information: where you make a payment (for example, an application fee), the transaction is processed by our payment provider, Paystack. We receive confirmation of payment and a reference, but we do not collect or store your card or bank details on our Website.
- Website usage data: technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited, collected through cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy).
2. How and why we use your data
We use personal data to:
- respond to your enquiries and communicate with you;
- process and assess admissions applications and arrange entrance assessments;
- process payments and issue confirmations or receipts;
- operate, maintain, and improve the Website; and
- comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.
Under the NDPA, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases for processing: your consent, the performance of a contract (or steps taken at your request before entering one, such as an application), compliance with a legal obligation, and our legitimate interests in running the school and the Website.
3. Children's data
Information about prospective or current students is, by its nature, information about children. This information is provided by parents or guardians, and we process it for admissions and school-related purposes with their consent and in line with the NDPA and the Child's Rights Act. We do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children through the Website without the involvement of a parent or guardian.
4. Sharing your data
We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with:
- Service providers who help us operate, including our payment provider (Paystack), website hosting provider, and email or SMS communication providers. These providers process data on our behalf under agreements that require them to protect it.
- Regulators or public authorities where we are required to do so by law.
Where any of these providers process data outside Nigeria, we take steps to ensure your data remains protected in accordance with the NDPA's requirements for cross-border transfers.
5. How long we keep your data
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out above, or as required by law. Enquiry and unsuccessful application records are kept for a reasonable period and then securely deleted or anonymised.
6. How we protect your data
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. While no online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, we take reasonable steps to safeguard the information you share with us.
7. Your rights
Under the NDPA, you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
- request deletion of your data, where applicable;
- object to or request restriction of certain processing;
- withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent; and
- lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC).
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond within the time required by law.
