These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the MYGEECS platform ("Platform"), operated by MYGEECS LIMITED ("we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must refrain from using the Platform.

1. User Profile Creation and Usage

To use the MYGEECS platform, users must create a profile by providing personal information and uploading necessary documents, such as certificates and transcripts. This profile serves as the foundation for all applications to programs and scholarships facilitated through the Platform.

The information submitted during profile creation is used exclusively for program and scholarship applications selected by the user. MYGEECS staff may view user profiles solely to assist with the application process but are restricted from editing or modifying any user-provided information. This approach ensures the integrity of the data and maintains user control over profile content.

The handling of all user data complies with the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and aligns with international standards such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as MYGEECS expands into other regions.

2. Website Updates and Changes

Updates to the MYGEECS website are carried out to ensure the platform remains current, accurate, and user-friendly. Changes to the website, such as adding new programs, schools, or features, are made primarily through the backend by authorized administrators. These updates are critical to maintaining the quality of information and enhancing user experiences.

Users can make changes to their profiles, including updating personal information, documents, or application details, to ensure their applications remain accurate. Administrators perform updates on a regular basis, with significant changes, such as the addition of new programs or features, typically occurring monthly. Users are notified of any major updates that might affect their submitted information, enabling them to make necessary adjustments promptly.
