Your privacy matters.

1. Introduction

Nigeria News (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “the App”) is a mobile news application operated by Elvitech Studios. It is designed to help users discover and read news, updates, and information relevant to Nigeria.

We are committed to respecting your privacy and protecting personal information in line with applicable privacy laws and regulations.

2. Information We Collect

We aim to collect only information needed to operate, maintain, secure, and improve Nigeria News. Depending on how you use the App, this may include:

• Device and technical information: device model, operating system version, app version, language settings, IP address, crash reports, and diagnostic information.
• Usage information: pages viewed, articles opened, categories selected, features used, time spent in the App, and interaction patterns.
• Notification preferences: your choices regarding push notifications and news alerts.
• Information you provide: details you voluntarily send when contacting support, submitting feedback, or making an enquiry.

Nigeria News does not require you to create an account unless a future feature clearly states otherwise.

3. How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

• Provide news content and core App functionality.
• Personalize content, categories, and user experience.
• Send news alerts when you enable notifications.
• Understand App performance and improve reliability.
• Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, misuse, or security issues.
• Respond to support requests and user feedback.
• Meet legal, regulatory, or compliance obligations.

4. News Content and Third Parties

Nigeria News may display, summarize, aggregate, or link to content from third-party publishers, websites, and news providers. When you open an external link, the privacy policy of that third party applies.

We do not control third-party websites, their content, or their data practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before sharing personal information with them.

5. Advertising and Analytics

The App may use analytics tools to understand how users interact with Nigeria News, identify errors, and improve performance. If advertising is enabled, third-party advertising partners may use device identifiers, cookies, or similar technologies to deliver and measure advertisements, subject to your device settings and applicable law.

You may be able to limit personalized advertising through your Android or iOS device privacy settings. Disabling personalized advertising does not necessarily stop all advertisements from appearing.

6. Push Notifications

With your permission, Nigeria News may send push notifications for breaking news, headlines, public-interest updates, and App-related announcements. You can turn off notifications at any time through your device settings.

7. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information only where necessary with:

• Service providers that support hosting, analytics, app performance, security, notifications, or customer support.
• Content providers and partners where required to deliver their content or services.
• Authorities, regulators, or law-enforcement bodies when legally required or necessary to protect rights, safety, and security.
• A successor organization in the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of App assets.

8. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including providing the App, resolving disputes, maintaining security, complying with legal obligations, and enforcing our terms.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no internet-based service or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on applicable law and the information involved, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of the processing of your personal information. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App, our practices, or legal requirements. The revised version will be posted within the App or on our official website with an updated effective date.
