Lawful basis

We process personal data on the basis of your consent where you give it, our legitimate interests in publishing and operating a news service, the performance of a contract or steps before a contract, and compliance with legal obligations. We handle personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation and other applicable law.

Analytics and consent

When you first visit the site, a consent banner lets you accept or reject optional analytics. If you accept, we load PostHog, a product analytics service hosted in the European Union, to measure page views and basic interactions. PostHog is configured in cookieless mode with person profiles disabled, so it does not set analytics cookies or build personal profiles. If you reject analytics, the PostHog measurement script is not loaded. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer or by clearing the consent choice in your browser.

Sharing

We do not sell personal data. We may share it with service providers that host the website, deliver email, process payments or provide security and analytics, including PostHog for optional analytics, and with professional advisers, regulators or authorities where the law requires it. Service providers are expected to protect the information and use it only for the service they provide.

Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, including legal, accounting and dispute-resolution requirements. Newsletter records are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them, subject to any legal obligation to retain them. Citizen-report submissions and their private media are retained for editorial review and are deleted when no longer needed.

Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may ask for access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing, portability, or withdrawal of consent. To make a request, use the Contact page or call the number above. We may need to verify your identity before acting. You may also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.

Cookies

We use essential cookies for login, security and form functionality. Optional analytics is loaded only after you accept it, and is described in our Cookie Notice. We do not use advertising cookies.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. Citizen-report media is stored privately and is available only to authorised editorial staff. No internet transmission is completely secure, so please avoid sending sensitive documents through public forms unless we have agreed a safer channel.

Children

The site is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children for marketing. If you believe a child has submitted personal data, contact us so we can address it.

Changes

We may update this policy as the publication develops. The latest version will always be published on this page.
