Privacy Policy

Exposome Africa is responsible for personal information collected through exposomeafrica.org. This notice covers website enquiries and network-interest submissions. Contact our administration team at gro.acirfaemosopxeobfsctd-22f3e3@nimda or +233 20 084 3252 about this notice or your information.

When you contact us or express interest in the network, the website collects the information you enter, such as your name, email address, organisation, professional interests and message. Fluent Forms stores submissions in the website database. Website services may also record technical information, including IP address, browser, device, pages visited and security logs. Required form fields are marked; optional information is voluntary. Without the contact details needed to respond, we may be unable to assist.

We use enquiry details to reply, discuss network participation and collaborations, and administer the website. Processing must have a lawful basis under Ghana’s Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843), such as consent, an applicable legal obligation or a legitimate interest balanced against your rights. An enquiry does not subscribe you to marketing. Please avoid sending medical records, identification documents or other sensitive information through these general enquiry forms.

This website uses Google Analytics through Google Site Kit to measure visits and website use. Google may receive technical and usage information and use cookies or similar identifiers. Forms include Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection, which may evaluate browser, device and interaction information. Essential website and security functions may also use cookies. You can manage or delete cookies in your browser and use Google’s Analytics opt-out tool. Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply to its services. Browser controls may affect website functions.

Authorised administrators and service providers supporting hosting, email, maintenance, security and analytics may process relevant information. Information may be processed outside Ghana where providers operate. Appropriate protection and lawful arrangements are required for this processing. Information may also be disclosed where required by law. We do not sell information submitted through our enquiry forms.

Information is kept only for as long as needed for the stated purpose, a related lawful requirement or a legitimate record-keeping need, and then deleted or anonymised. Access should be limited to authorised people, with appropriate technical and organisational safeguards. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Where a security compromise requires notification, affected individuals and the Data Protection Commission must be notified in accordance with applicable law.

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to your personal information, correction of inaccurate information, or deletion where retention is no longer justified. You may object to processing and withdraw consent for future consent-based processing. Contact gro.acirfaemosopxeobfsctd-404309@nimda; we may need to verify your identity before responding. You may also complain to Ghana’s Data Protection Commission.

This website’s enquiry forms are not research-participant enrolment forms. Any future study collecting participant or health data should provide a separate study-specific privacy notice and consent process. This notice may be updated as website services or legal requirements change; the revision date will appear here.
