Your data. Your control.
This notice explains what information this website collects, why it is used, who helps process it and how you can exercise your rights.

Who controls your data
Nexus Health Research Alliance is responsible for the personal information collected through this website. Nexus is a Ghana-led research alliance. For privacy questions or requests, use the secure enquiry form and select “Privacy or data rights request.” This allows you to contact us without publishing a private email address.
Make a privacy requestWhat we collect
When you use the contact form, we collect the information you choose to provide: your name, email address, organisation, enquiry type and message. Required fields are clearly marked.
Our hosting and form-delivery providers may also process limited technical information needed to operate and secure their services, such as IP address, browser type, access time and referring page.
This public website is not a clinical data collection system. Do not submit patient names, medical records, genetic information, research participant data or other sensitive clinical information. Research participants will receive separate programme-specific information and consent materials through approved study processes.
How and why we use information
We use contact information to receive and answer enquiries, evaluate potential collaborations, maintain appropriate correspondence, protect the website from misuse and meet legal or institutional obligations.
Depending on the context, processing is based on your request, your consent, Nexus’s legitimate operational interests or a legal obligation. We do not use enquiry details for automated decision-making or sell them to data brokers.
Retention and security
Routine enquiries are normally retained for no longer than 24 months after the last meaningful contact. If an enquiry develops into an active collaboration, contract or legal matter, relevant correspondence may be retained for the duration of that relationship and for up to seven years afterwards, or longer where law or an institutional obligation requires it. Records of privacy requests may be retained for up to three years so that we can demonstrate how the request was handled.
Information that is no longer required under this schedule is deleted or anonymised. Nexus periodically reviews retained enquiry records and access permissions.
We use access controls and reputable service providers to reduce risk. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so sensitive clinical information must never be sent through this form.
Your data rights
Subject to applicable law, you may ask to be informed about processing, access your information, correct inaccurate information, object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent and request deletion where appropriate. You may also object to direct marketing and complain about how your information is handled.
To make a request, use the contact form and select “Privacy or data rights request.” We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. You may also raise a concern with Ghana’s Data Protection Commission.
Changes to this notice
We may update this notice when the website, our providers or legal requirements change. Material changes to optional tracking will trigger a new consent request. The revision date at the top shows when this notice was last updated.
