Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how NaijaParenting collects, uses and protects information when you visit the website, subscribe, comment or contact us.

Plain-language summary: We collect only the information needed to operate, understand and fund the publication; we use service providers where necessary; and you may contact us about your privacy choices.

Information we may collect

  • Information you provide: email address, name, enquiry details, newsletter preferences, comments, submissions and other information you choose to send.
  • Technical information: IP address, browser and device information, approximate location, referring pages, pages viewed, timestamps and security logs.
  • Cookie and advertising information: identifiers and interaction data used for site functions, audience measurement, preference storage, advertising and fraud prevention.
  • Commercial information: records associated with purchases, memberships or other transactions if these services are offered.

How we use information

We may use information to provide and secure the site; deliver newsletters or requested resources; respond to enquiries; moderate comments and submissions; measure and improve content; personalise reasonable site experiences; manage advertising, affiliates and partnerships; prevent abuse; comply with legal obligations; and establish or defend legal rights.

Our reasons for processing

Depending on your location and the activity, processing may rely on your consent, a contract or requested service, compliance with law, or legitimate interests such as publishing and improving a secure, sustainable parenting resource. Where consent is the basis, you may withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing.

Cookies and similar technologies

Some cookies are necessary for core functions and security. Others may support analytics, preferences and advertising. Available choices depend on the consent controls shown on the site and your browser settings. Blocking some technologies may affect functionality.

When information is shared

We may share relevant information with hosting, security, analytics, email, advertising, payment, professional and content-delivery providers acting for us or under their own notices. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect people or the service, or as part of a legitimate business transfer. We do not knowingly sell personal information for money; some advertising or analytics disclosures may be treated as “sharing” or a “sale” under certain privacy laws.

International processing

NaijaParenting serves readers in Nigeria and abroad, and providers may process information in other countries. Where required, we use recognised safeguards or other lawful transfer mechanisms. Privacy rights and protections can differ by location.

Retention

We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described, including security, recordkeeping, dispute resolution and legal obligations. Retention periods vary by data type and service.

Your choices and rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, withdrawal of consent, or information about certain disclosures. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in the message. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information where law permits or requires.

Children’s privacy

NaijaParenting is a publication for parents and caregivers, not a service directed to children. We do not knowingly request personal information directly from children. Parents and contributors should avoid sending unnecessary identifying information about a child. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate permission, contact us so we can assess and address it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures designed to protect information. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so do not submit passwords, payment-card details, full medical records or other unnecessary sensitive information through general enquiry channels.

Third-party sites

Links, embedded content, advertisers and social platforms may collect information under their own policies. Review those notices before using the third-party service.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when services, providers or legal requirements change. The latest version and revision date will appear on this page.

Contact us

For a privacy question or request, use our Contact page and state “Privacy request.” Include enough information to identify the relevant interaction, but do not send unnecessary sensitive documents.
