Manage your preferences through the available Complianz cookie controls and your browser settings.

RETENTION & SECURITY

How we store
your data.

One-month retention

Our standard retention period for personal information in contact and advertising enquiry records is one month from collection. At the end of that period, those records are deleted or anonymised, except where retention is required by law.

HTTPS and authentication

We use HTTPS to protect information transmitted between your browser and our website. We also use two-factor authentication through Google Authenticator to help protect administrative access.

Provider records and limitations

Cookie lifetimes and records controlled independently by providers may have different retention periods. Our one-month period does not mean that every provider deletes its own records after one month. No online service can guarantee complete security.

YOUR RIGHTS

Your privacy
choices.

Depending on the law that applies, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a portable copy of your personal information, or object to certain processing. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting processing already lawfully carried out.

Submit your request through our Contact Us page. We may need proportionate information to verify your identity. Rights are subject to applicable exceptions, including where relevant to journalism and freedom of expression.

You may also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission or another relevant supervisory authority.
