How CRC Uses Information it Collects

However, at all times CRC will endeavour to keep control of and be responsible for the use of Users’ information. By providing CRC with their personal information, Users consent to CRC transferring of their information to countries or jurisdictions which may not provide the same level of data protection as Nigeria.
