At Facts.com.ng, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you visit our website or interact with our services. By using Facts.com.ng, you consent to the practices described here. If you have questions, feel free to reach out at privacy@facts.com.ng.
Information We Collect
We collect information to provide the best possible experience and keep our content relevant. Here’s what we gather:
- Personal Information: If you sign up for our newsletter, contact us via forms, or comment on articles, we may collect your name, email address, and any details you voluntarily share (like your location or school preferences for personalized advice).
- Usage Data: Automatically collected info like your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on site, and referral sources. This helps us understand how people use the site and improve it.
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies (small data files stored on your device) for essentials like remembering your preferences, analytics (via Google Analytics), and optional ads. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.
We don’t collect sensitive info like financial details or health data unless you explicitly provide it in a query (and even then, we handle it with care).
How We Use Your Information
Your data fuels our mission to deliver valuable educational content:
- To respond to your inquiries, send newsletters (only if you opt in), or facilitate comments.
- To analyze site traffic and user behavior, ensuring our guides on JAMB or NYSC stay useful.
- To personalize your experience, like suggesting relevant opportunities based on your interests.
- For legal reasons, such as complying with Nigerian data protection laws or preventing fraud.
We never sell your personal information to third parties. Any sharing is limited and purposeful.
Sharing Your Information
We only share data when necessary:
- With service providers (e.g., email platforms like Mailchimp) who help us run the site – bound by strict confidentiality.
- If required by law, like a court order from Nigerian authorities.
- In the event of a business transfer (e.g., merger), but we’d notify you first.
For international users, note that data may be processed in Nigeria or via U.S.-based tools like Google, but we adhere to global standards.
Your Rights and Choices
Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) and similar frameworks, you have control:
- Access and Update: Request a copy of your data or correct inaccuracies by emailing us.
- Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from emails anytime via the link in our messages, or disable cookies in your browser.
- Deletion: Ask us to erase your info (we’ll retain what’s needed for legal compliance).
- Do Not Track: We honor browser signals where possible.
Kids under 13? We don’t knowingly collect their data – parents, please supervise.
Data Security
We use industry-standard measures like encryption and secure servers to protect your info. That said, no online system is 100% foolproof, so we can’t guarantee absolute security. Report any concerns to us immediately.
Changes to This Policy
We’ll update this policy as our services evolve, posting the new version here with the date. Major changes? We’ll notify you via email or a site banner. Continued use after updates means you agree.
Thanks for trusting us with your info – it’s what lets us keep empowering Nigerian youth. Questions? Drop us a line.
