This Privacy Policy explains how Abuja Post (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit abujapost.com.ng or contact us. We handle personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.
Who we are
Abuja Post is an online newspaper based at 19 Gimbiya Street, Area 11, Garki, Abuja. We are the controller of the personal data described in this policy. You can reach us at
contact@abujapost.com.ng.
Information we collect
-
- Information you give us: your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message when you email us, message us on WhatsApp, or send a news tip, correction request, or advertising enquiry.
-
- Information collected automatically: your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and the website that referred you. We collect this through cookies and similar technologies.
How we use your information
-
- To reply to your messages, tips, and enquiries.
-
- To investigate and publish corrections.
-
- To understand how readers use our site so we can improve it.
-
- To keep the site secure and prevent abuse.
-
- To meet our legal obligations.
We rely on your consent, our legitimate interests in running and improving a news website, and legal obligations as the basis for these uses.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies to make the site work and to measure traffic. We use Google tools, such as Google Analytics through the Site Kit plugin, which may set cookies and collect usage data on our behalf. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site will still work, though some features may not.
Sources and confidentiality
If you send us a news tip, we treat your identity with care and will not name you as a source without your agreement, unless we are required to by law.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site, such as our hosting provider, email provider, and analytics provider, and with authorities when the law requires it. When you message us on WhatsApp, WhatsApp’s own privacy policy applies to that conversation. Some of these providers may process data outside Nigeria, and we take steps to make sure it stays protected.
How long we keep it
We keep personal data only as long as we need it for the purposes above or as the law requires. Messages and enquiries are deleted when they are no longer needed.

-
- Ask what personal data we hold about you and get a copy.
-
- Ask us to correct data that is wrong or incomplete.
-
- Ask us to delete your data or restrict how we use it.
-
- Object to our use of your data.

To use any of these rights, email
contact@abujapost.com.ng. We may need to confirm your identity first.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No website or online service is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
Our site is for a general audience and is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has sent us their data, contact us and we will delete it.
Links to other sites
Our articles may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please read their policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and change the effective date at the top.
