Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 13, 2026 · Last updated: October 13, 2026
Newspage (“we”, “us” or “our”) operates newspage.com.ng (the “Site”), an online news platform based in Jalingo, Taraba State, Nigeria. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and protect it, and the choices and rights you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us. This includes your name, email address and message when you contact us; your name, email address and comment when you post a comment; your email address if you subscribe to a newsletter; and any details, photos or videos you send us as a news tip.
Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may collect your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, pages viewed, time and date of visit, referring website, and approximate location derived from your IP address.
Information from cookies. See the section on cookies below.
2. How we use your information
- To operate, maintain and improve the Site and its content.
- To respond to your enquiries, news tips, corrections and feedback.
- To publish and moderate comments.
- To send newsletters or updates you have asked to receive. You can unsubscribe at any time.
- To understand how readers use the Site so we can improve it.
- To show advertising that helps fund our journalism.
- To keep the Site secure and prevent spam, fraud and abuse.
- To comply with legal obligations.
3. Legal basis for processing
We process personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and other applicable law. Depending on the situation, we rely on your consent (for example, newsletters and non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (for example, running and securing the Site and understanding readership), performance of a request you make to us, or compliance with a legal obligation.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files placed on your device. We use them to remember preferences (such as light or dark mode), measure traffic, and deliver advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the Site work.
5. Advertising and analytics
We may use third-party services, such as analytics providers and advertising networks (for example, Google Analytics and Google AdSense), to measure Site usage and display ads. These providers may use cookies, web beacons or similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites and to show you relevant ads. Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies. You can learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services, and manage ad personalisation, through your Google account’s ad settings.
6. Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:
- Service providers that help us run the Site, such as hosting, analytics, email delivery and security providers, who may only use it to provide services to us.
- Advertising partners, as described above.
- Authorities or other parties where required by law, court order or to protect our rights, users or the public.
- A successor organisation if the Site or our business is reorganised, merged or transferred.
Comments you post are public and may be seen by anyone. Please do not include personal information in a comment that you do not want shared.
7. Data retention
We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements. When it is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:
- Ask whether we hold personal data about you and request a copy.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Ask us to delete your data in certain circumstances.
- Object to or ask us to restrict certain processing, including direct marketing.
- Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing already carried out.
- Request your data in a portable format where applicable.
- Lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@newspage.com.ng. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
10. Children’s privacy
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
11. Third-party links
The Site may contain links to other websites and embedded content (such as social media posts or videos). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.
12. International transfers
Some of our service providers may process data outside Nigeria. Where this happens, we take steps to ensure your information remains protected in line with applicable data protection law.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Please check back periodically. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
