You may ask us which mechanism applies to a given transfer.

No system is perfectly secure. Where a personal data breach is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Nigeria Data Protection Commission within seventy-two (72) hours of becoming aware of it, and will inform you without undue delay where the risk is high.
