Effective Date: 25 September 2026

1. Introduction

Society for Positive Living (“SPL”, “SPL Worldwide”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information entrusted to us.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, protect and, where necessary, share personal information when you visit the SPL Worldwide website, register as a member, create a profile, participate in our programmes, contact us, subscribe to our communications, or use other services provided through our website.

We aim to handle personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements.

2. Information We May Collect

Depending on how you interact with SPL Worldwide, we may collect information such as:

• Full name
• Email address
• Telephone/WhatsApp number
• Gender, age or date of birth where relevant
• City, state or country
• Profile photograph
• Username and account details
• Membership information and membership status
• Programme participation and training records
• Messages, enquiries and feedback
• Information submitted through registration or contact forms
• Payment and transaction-related information where applicable
• IP address, browser type, device information and website activity
• Any other information you voluntarily provide to us

We seek to collect only information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

3. Sensitive and Emotional-Wellness Information

Some SPL services relate to emotional wellbeing, counselling, coaching, psychoeducation and wellness. As a result, you may voluntarily provide information concerning your emotional or physical health, personal circumstances, relationships or other sensitive matters.

Where such information is collected, SPL will take additional care in handling it and will use it only for appropriate purposes and in accordance with applicable law.

We encourage users not to submit sensitive personal information through public profile sections, comments or other areas of the website that may be visible to others.

Information shared through the website does not automatically create a doctor-patient, therapist-client or other professional relationship unless such a relationship has been expressly established through the appropriate SPL service.

4. Membership Registration and Profiles

SPL Worldwide may allow individuals to register as members and create personal profiles.

A member’s profile may contain information such as their name, photograph, location, membership status, activities, achievements, training, certificates or level of participation.

Members may progress through different membership stages or categories based on criteria established by SPL.

We will endeavour to clearly distinguish information that is private from information intended to be displayed to other members or the public.

Members are responsible for ensuring that information they place in publicly visible sections of their profiles is appropriate for public disclosure.

5. How We Use Your Information

We may use personal information to:

• Register and manage SPL membership
• Create and maintain member accounts and profiles
• Administer membership stages, activities and recognition
• Provide coaching, psychoeducation, training, wellness and other requested services
• Respond to enquiries and requests
• Register participants for programmes, events and activities
• Issue appropriate certificates or records of participation
• Communicate important information about SPL activities
• Send newsletters, educational materials or programme updates where permitted
• Process payments and maintain appropriate transaction records
• Improve our programmes, website and services
• Maintain website security and prevent fraud or misuse
• Meet legal, regulatory and administrative requirements

We will not intentionally use personal information for purposes that are materially incompatible with the reason for which it was collected without an appropriate lawful basis.

6. Legal Basis for Processing

Where required by applicable data-protection law, we process personal information on an appropriate legal basis, which may include:

• Your consent
• Performance of a service or agreement requested by you
• Compliance with a legal obligation
• Protection of legitimate interests where those interests do not override your rights
• Other lawful grounds permitted under applicable legislation

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent, subject to applicable legal and operational limitations.

7. Confidentiality

SPL recognises the importance of confidentiality, particularly where individuals share personal, emotional or health-related information.

We take reasonable measures to restrict access to such information to authorised persons who require it for legitimate purposes.

SPL will not intentionally disclose confidential personal information to unrelated third parties except with appropriate consent, where necessary to provide a requested service, where required by law, or where another lawful basis for disclosure exists.

8. Cookies and Website Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep the website functioning properly
• Remember user preferences and login sessions
• Improve website performance
• Understand how visitors use the website
• Maintain website security
• Support analytics and other authorised website functionality

Some third-party plugins or services integrated into our website may also use cookies.

Where required, visitors will be provided with appropriate information and choices regarding non-essential cookies.

9. Payments

Where payments are made through our website, payment processing may be handled by third-party payment providers.

SPL may receive transaction information necessary to confirm and administer a payment. We do not intend to store complete payment-card information on our own website where payment processing is handled securely by an authorised payment provider.

Users should review the privacy practices of the relevant payment provider.

10. Sharing Personal Information

SPL does not sell or rent your personal information.

We may share limited personal information with trusted service providers where necessary to operate our website and provide our services. These may include providers of:

• Website hosting
• Email and communication services
• Payment processing
• Website security
• Analytics
• Membership management
• Professional or technical support

We may also disclose information where required by law, court order, regulatory authority or another lawful process.

11. International Data Processing

Some technology providers used by SPL may process or store information outside Nigeria.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will seek to use appropriate safeguards as required by applicable data-protection requirements.

12. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, organisational and technical measures to protect personal information against:

• Unauthorised access
• Accidental loss
• Misuse
• Alteration
• Disclosure
• Destruction

However, no website or internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.

Members are responsible for protecting their account passwords and should notify SPL promptly if they believe their account has been compromised.

13. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected and to satisfy legitimate administrative, legal, regulatory or record-keeping requirements.

Information that is no longer reasonably required will be securely deleted, anonymised or otherwise appropriately managed in accordance with applicable requirements.

14. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:

• Request access to personal information held about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of information where legally appropriate
• Object to or request restriction of certain processing
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Request information concerning how your data is processed
• Request data portability where applicable
• Lodge a complaint with an appropriate data-protection authority

Certain rights may be subject to legal exceptions.

15. Children and Young People

SPL recognises that children and young people require additional privacy protection.

Where our programmes or website services involve minors, we will seek to apply appropriate safeguards and obtain parental or guardian consent where required by law.

Children should not submit sensitive personal information through the website without appropriate parental, guardian or authorised adult involvement.

16. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, social-media platforms or external services.

SPL is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites or services that we do not control. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of those organisations before providing personal information.

17. Communications and Marketing

If you subscribe to SPL newsletters, educational messages, programme announcements or other promotional communications, we may use the contact information you provide to communicate with you.

Where required, you may withdraw your consent or unsubscribe from promotional communications. This will not necessarily prevent us from sending essential administrative or account-related communications.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

SPL may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our services, website functionality, technology, organisational practices or legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on this website with an updated effective date.
