Introduction and Purpose

1.1 Who This Agreement Is Between

Data ControllerPreneurdemy Ltd, incorporated in Nigeria (CAC RC: 9253638), operating globally through preneurdemy.com, tech.preneurdemy.com, Vision1000, and all associated platforms.
Data Subject ("You")The individual named and signing in the Consent Record (§18), or the parent/guardian acting on behalf of a minor named therein.

1.2 Purpose

This Agreement governs the collection, processing, storage, use, and publication of any personal story, testimonial, image, audio recording, video content, or other media in which you appear, contribute, or are identifiable ("Media Content"). It sets out the specific purposes for which your Media Content may be used, the legal basis for each, the granular consent you are being asked to give, your rights including withdrawal, and the protections that apply.

1.3 Voluntary Participation

Participation is entirely voluntary. You are not required to submit Media Content to access core platform services. Declining any or all consents will not result in penalty, loss of access, or disadvantage.

⚖️
No Employment or Outcome Link. Submission of Media Content — and the extent of consent granted under this Agreement — does not influence, determine, or affect programme outcomes, employment opportunities, trial eligibility, employer selection decisions, platform scoring, or any other assessment conducted by Preneurdemy. Consent decisions are entirely independent of programme performance and hiring pipeline processes.
🔴
Legal Separation. This Agreement is a standalone legal document. Acceptance of the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, or programme enrolment does NOT constitute acceptance of this Agreement. Separate, explicit, and individual consent is required for each use type.

Editorial Rights and Content Integrity

7.1 Permitted Edits

Preneurdemy may edit, adapt, crop, resize, or reformat Media Content only for: platform formatting requirements; correction of typographical errors without changing meaning; translation where consent is granted; or removal of third-party IP inadvertently included.

7.2 Prohibited Alterations

  • Remove material context that would change the interpretation of your story.
  • Add words or claims to your testimonial that you did not make.

  • Edit audio or video to create a misleading impression of what was said or shown.

7.3 No Obligation to Publish

Preneurdemy is under no obligation to use, publish, or distribute any submitted Media Content. Submission does not guarantee publication in any form.

Intellectual Property Rights

8.1 Your Ownership

📄
Licence Grant. You grant Preneurdemy Ltd a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable licence to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, and distribute your Media Content in accordance with your selected consent options as recorded in §18. This licence applies only to the specific use types for which consent has been granted and does not extend to any unticked use type. The licence is revocable by withdrawal under §11.

🌐
Social media platforms to which your content is published (where P-2 is ticked) operate their own international data transfer mechanisms. Once published, content is subject to that platform's own terms and privacy policy. Review the privacy policy of any social media platform before consenting to publication on that channel.

11

Withdrawal of Consent

11.1 Your Right to Withdraw

You have the absolute right to withdraw any or all consents at any time. Withdrawal is free, requires no justification, and will not result in penalty or loss of platform access.

11.2 Effect of Withdrawal by Channel

Channel / ScenarioEffect of Withdrawal
Preneurdemy digital platforms (website, platform)Removed within 5 business days of confirmed withdrawal.
Preneurdemy email campaigns or downloadable materialsRemoved from future sends within 10 business days. Previously delivered emails cannot be recalled.

🔴
No Guarantee of Third-Party Removal. Where Media Content has been shared with third parties, published on public platforms, broadcast, indexed by search engines, re-shared by third-party users on social media, or included in printed or distributed materials, complete removal may not be possible. Preneurdemy expressly cannot guarantee, and accepts no liability for the failure to achieve, removal of content from social media accounts, search engine indices, press archives, partner or employer systems, or any channel outside its direct operational control.

11.3 Prior Processing Remains Lawful

Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted before the date of withdrawal. Preneurdemy will not be required to un-publish content published in good faith before a valid withdrawal notice was received.

11.4 Partial Withdrawal

You may withdraw consent for specific use types while maintaining others. For example, withdrawing P-2 (social media) while keeping P-1 (website). Withdrawal is granular — mirroring the granularity of the original consent.

Special Protections for Minors

👶
Red Line — Non-Negotiable. No Media Content featuring or submitted by a person under 18 will be collected, processed, or published without prior, verified, and documented consent from a parent or legal guardian with legal parental responsibility. The minor's own agreement is legally insufficient without accompanying guardian consent.

12.1 Guardian Consent Requirements

  • The Guardian named in §18 must complete and sign the Guardian Consent Block.
  • Guardian identity and legal relationship to the minor must be declared and may be verified.
  • Preneurdemy may require additional verification of guardian identity before processing commences.

12.2 Absolute Restrictions for Minor Content

  • No story, photograph, video, or audio featuring an identifiable minor will be published publicly without explicit documented written guardian consent.
  • No minor content will be used in commercial advertising or investor presentations without guardian-specific written consent for that use.
  • No content will reveal a minor's full name, address, school, or other identifying details in combination in a public context.
  • All publicly published content featuring a minor is reviewed by a senior staff member and a designated safeguarding lead before publication.

12.3 Rights at Age 18

On reaching 18, the individual will be contacted to review, confirm, expand, or revoke all consents given on their behalf by their guardian. This review is conducted within 60 days of the 18th birthday where Preneurdemy is aware of the relevant date. The right to manage and withdraw consent transfers to the individual at that point.

Media Content (internal use only)Duration of consent + 1 year (or programme completion + 3 years, whichever is longer)Contractual; legitimate interests

Withdrawal records7 years from withdrawalLegal obligation; compliance evidence
Guardian consent records (minors)Minor's 18th birthday + 7 yearsLegal obligation; child protection records

14

Data Security

  • Encryption at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+) for all Media Content.
  • Role-based access controls limiting access to authorised staff with a specific operational need.
  • Separate storage classification for sensitive and minor content with additional access restrictions.
  • Consent record logging with timestamped, tamper-resistant records tied to each submission.
  • Secure cloud infrastructure from SOC 2 Type II / ISO 27001 certified providers.
  • Incident response procedures including breach notification obligations relating to Media Content.
⚠️
No information security system is completely impenetrable. Once Media Content is published in public channels — particularly social media — it may be accessed, re-shared, or reproduced by third parties beyond our control. Please consider this carefully before consenting to any public use.

Granular Consent Record

📋
Instructions. Read each statement carefully. Tick only the boxes for uses you explicitly agree to. You are not required to tick any box. Unticked = declined consent for that use. Each box is a separate, legally distinct consent decision. No box is pre-ticked.

Part A — Your Details

Part B — Internal Use Consents

These uses keep your Media Content within Preneurdemy's internal systems.

Part C — Public and External Use Consents

These uses make your content visible outside Preneurdemy. Each is a completely independent consent decision.

⚠️
Ticking any box below does NOT create an obligation to publish — Preneurdemy retains editorial discretion (§7.3). However, once public content is published, complete removal from all third-party channels cannot be guaranteed (§11).

Part D — Additional Preferences


19

Declarations and Signatures

Part E — Data Subject Declaration

By signing, I confirm that: I have read and understood this Agreement in full; my consent is given freely and without coercion; I understand my right to withdraw at any time without penalty; I understand that withdrawal from public channels may not be achievable for all third-party distributions already made; and this Agreement is separate from and additional to my acceptance of the Preneurdemy Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Part F — Guardian Consent Block (Complete ONLY if Data Subject is Under 18)

👶
Mandatory for Minors. If the Data Subject is under 18, this section MUST be completed by a parent or legal guardian with parental responsibility. The Data Subject's own signature in Part E is legally insufficient without this accompanying guardian block.

By signing, the Guardian confirms they have read this Agreement in full, have the legal authority to consent on behalf of the minor, and agree to the consent selections made in Parts B, C, and D on behalf of the minor named in Part A.

Part G — Preneurdemy Acknowledgement (Office Use Only)
