Wellspring University processes personal data in accordance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 and any subsidiary regulations, guidelines, or codes of practice issued by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC). We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with Nigerian law and recognised international standards of data protection.
The Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) is the supervisory authority for data protection in Nigeria. If you are unsatisfied with how We have handled your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the NDPC at www.ndpc.gov.ng.
By accessing or using Our Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Notice. Where We rely on your consent as the lawful basis for processing your personal data, you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting Us at info@wellspringuniversity.edu.ng.
Please note that withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing We carried out before you withdrew it. In some cases, withdrawing consent may mean that We are unable to provide certain services or respond to certain requests. We will inform you of this at the time of withdrawal if it is applicable.
When you visit or interact with Our Website and connected platforms, We may collect the following categories of information about you:
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which it was collected, or for purposes that are compatible with those purposes. These include:
We will not use your personal data for purposes unrelated to those listed above without first informing you and, where required, obtaining your consent.
In the course of using Our Website, you may interact with or be directed to the following platforms and services:
The Student Portal is a third-party hosted platform used by the University to provide students with access to academic records, timetables, and student services. While the platform is externally hosted, Wellspring University takes responsibility for ensuring it meets Our standards for privacy and data security. We conduct due diligence on the platform's compliance and have data processing arrangements in place to protect your information. Your use of the Student Portal is subject to the terms and privacy notice applicable to that platform, which We encourage you to read.
The Admissions Portal is the platform through which prospective students submit applications to the University. As with the Student Portal, this is an externally hosted platform for which Wellspring University takes responsibility in terms of privacy and security compliance. We have put in place appropriate arrangements to ensure that personal data submitted through the Admissions Portal is handled securely and in accordance with Our data protection obligations. Supplementary privacy information specific to the admissions process is made available to applicants at the point of application.
The University eLibrary is owned and operated by Wellspring University. Any personal data you submit or that is collected through the eLibrary such as your login credentials or usage data is processed by Us and protected in accordance with this Notice.
Wellspring University maintains official pages on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn. These channels are operated by the respective social media platforms, not by Wellspring University. If you visit, follow, or interact with any of Our social media pages, those platforms will collect and process data about you in accordance with their own privacy policies, which We encourage you to review. Wellspring University does not control how those platforms collect or use your information. Where Our Website includes social media icons, sharing features, or embedded content, those platforms may also place cookies on your device or collect data about your visit to Our Website, even if you do not click on them.
For any other third-party links that may appear on Our Website from time to time, Wellspring University has no responsibility or liability for the content, activities, or data protection practices of those external websites. We urge you to review the privacy notices of any external sites you visit through links on Our Website.

We will retain your personal information only for as long as it is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or for as long as We are required to retain it by law, including for tax, audit, regulatory, or legal compliance purposes.
Where you have contacted Us with an enquiry, We will typically retain your correspondence for a reasonable period to allow Us to follow up and manage Our relationship with you. Where you have subscribed to communications from Us, We will retain your contact details until you unsubscribe or ask Us to remove them.
We will actively review the personal information We hold. When there is no longer a lawful, business, or operational reason to retain it, We will securely delete or anonymise it.
We may retain information for a longer period where there is a complaint, dispute, or a reasonable prospect of legal proceedings arising from Our relationship with you.
Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact Us at info@wellspringuniversity.edu.ng. We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days. In some cases, We may need to verify your identity before We can process your request. There is no charge for most requests; however, where a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, We reserve the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee, which We will notify you of before processing your request.
If you are dissatisfied with Our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) at www.ndpc.gov.ng.
