Who We Are
Purple Rain Galore ("PRG", "we", "us", or "our") is a youth empowerment, entrepreneurship, media, HR, and community development platform. This policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and share information when you use this website, apply for our programmes, contact us, use HR services, view our media, or donate.

Cookies and Local Storage
We use essential cookies and browser storage to keep the website functional and secure. These may include PHP session cookies, CSRF/security tokens, theme preference, gallery layout preference, and cookie-consent preference.
Payment pages may also involve Paystack cookies or similar technologies when you are redirected to Paystack. Social links such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, WhatsApp, and email are controlled by those third parties after you leave our website.
Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only where needed with:
- Paystack, for payment initialization, verification, and fraud checks.
- Email, hosting, database, and technical service providers that help us operate the website.
- PRG administrators, reviewers, mentors, judges, HR partners, sponsors, or programme staff where needed to review applications, manage opportunities, or deliver programmes.
- Law enforcement, regulators, courts, auditors, or professional advisers where required by law or to protect our rights, users, or programmes.
Uploaded Files and Media
Application files such as documents, passport photos, videos, and product images are used to assess programme eligibility and participation. Gallery images uploaded by PRG administrators may be displayed publicly. Do not upload confidential, offensive, unlawful, or third-party content unless you have the right to share it.
Data Retention
We keep information for as long as needed to deliver our services, review applications, maintain donation/payment records, resolve disputes, meet legal or accounting obligations, and protect website security. When information is no longer needed, we may delete, anonymize, archive, or securely restrict it.
Your Choices
You may contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of your personal information, subject to legal, security, programme, and record-keeping requirements. You can also clear cookies or local storage in your browser, though some website features may reset.
Security
We use practical safeguards including session controls, CSRF checks, admin authentication, protected admin file access, and secure payment redirection through Paystack. No website or internet transmission is completely risk-free, so please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information.
