Information Collection

We do compile some non-identifying basic information from visitors to the site for internal review purposes. This includes total number of visitors, pages viewed, and other non-identifying information. We use this aggregate information to improve our website and to make your experience on our site as satisfying as possible.

FINCA Nigeria collects, retains and uses personally identifiable information from our clients for specific business purposes such as maintaining accounts and records, complying with laws and regulations and meeting our clients’ financial needs, including through the provision of opportunities for new products and services.

FINCA Nigeria handles client information with the highest standards of privacy, security and confidentiality and such information is not disclosed to any other party except as required by law or regulation in force in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

FINCA Nigeria requests contact information (such as name, email, and address), as well as personal information such as a resume and cover letter, from visitors on our employment, volunteer and internship opportunities pages. This information is used by us for personnel purposes only and is not shared with outside organizations.

Log Files

Like most standard website servers, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track visitor’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the Web site and to gather demographic information about our user community. Unless we separately notify you, we do not link this automatically collected data to your personal information or use it for other purposes.

Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. If you have any questions about the security of our website, please contact us at the address listed above.

Expiration of Data

We may store data for a predetermined period of time depending on data type and for the duration of our services and afterwards for as long as is necessary and relevant for FINCA Nigeria purposes as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. We set retention time frames based on the reason for its collection. For example we may retain information on our employment, volunteer and internship opportunities pages for up to twelve months. Where a particular data is no longer needed or relevant, it will be disposed of in a secure manner (without further notice to the data owner).
