We work online and handle all correspondence by email. For any question about your data, email info@wearetechtribe.org.
What we collect
We only collect what we need to run our programmes and reply to you:
- Contact and partnership forms: your name, email address, organisation (partnership form only), the topic you choose and your message.
- Newsletter sign-up: your email address and your consent to receive updates.
- Joining a Tribe and mentorship applications: the details you enter in the sign-up form, such as your name, contact details, location, the Tribe you want to join, your experience and links to your work.
- Website analytics: if you accept analytics cookies, information about how you use the site, such as pages visited, links clicked and your approximate location and device type. We never send your name, email address or form answers to our analytics tools.
How we use it
- To reply to your messages and enquiries.
- To run our Tribes, mentorship programme and events, including matching mentors and mentees.

Some of these providers store data outside Nigeria. We only use providers that protect personal data.
