6. Google AdSense and Advertising
Naija Teller may use Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google.
Google and other third-party vendors may use cookies or similar technologies in connection with advertisements displayed on websites participating in Google’s advertising services.
Advertising cookies can enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on information associated with visits to Naija Teller and/or other websites, subject to applicable law, user settings and consent choices.
Advertisements may be personalised or non-personalised depending on factors including your region, consent choices, account settings and the advertising technologies available for a particular request.

7. Personalised and Non-Personalised Advertising
Where permitted, advertisements displayed on Naija Teller may be personalised based on information such as previous browsing activity, interests or other signals available to the advertising provider.
In regions where consent is required, personalised advertising and related storage or processing should occur only in accordance with the visitor’s consent choices and applicable requirements.
Non-personalised advertisements may still use certain information for purposes such as contextual ad selection, frequency capping, aggregated reporting, fraud prevention or measurement, as permitted by applicable law.
You can manage advertising choices through Google’s My Ad Center:
8. European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland
Google has specific consent requirements for publishers serving advertisements to users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom and Switzerland.
Where applicable, Naija Teller may use a consent management platform or other consent mechanism to request appropriate choices regarding cookies, local storage, personalised advertising, advertising measurement, analytics and related processing.
Visitors may be presented with options such as accepting, rejecting or managing certain uses of their data, depending on the consent system and legal requirements applicable to their location.

More information about Google’s European consent requirements is available at:

9. Google Analytics
Naija Teller may use Google Analytics to better understand how visitors use the website.
Google Analytics can provide aggregated or pseudonymous information about website activity, including information concerning:
- Pages visited;
- General traffic sources;
- Device and browser information;
- Approximate location;
- Engagement with website content;
- Session activity; and
- Other website-performance measurements.
We may use this information to understand which content is useful, identify technical problems, analyse general visitor behaviour and improve the website.
We do not intentionally configure Google Analytics for the purpose of sending information that directly identifies visitors, such as names or email addresses.
Google provides information about its Analytics privacy and data practices at:
Google Analytics Data and Privacy Information:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245
Google Privacy Policy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google also provides a browser add-on that users can use to opt out of Google Analytics measurement where supported:
Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Your browser settings, consent selections and other privacy tools may provide additional controls.
10. Consent Management
Where required, Naija Teller may use a Consent Management Platform (CMP) or equivalent privacy-control mechanism.
The consent interface may allow you to make decisions concerning areas such as:
- Advertising cookies;
- Personalised advertising;
- Advertising measurement;
- Analytics storage;
- Personalisation;
- Third-party vendors; and
- Other purposes disclosed through the consent interface.
Your available options may depend on your location and applicable law.
Where Google advertising services require an approved or certified consent mechanism, we aim to configure the website accordingly.
A Privacy Policy by itself does not replace a consent mechanism where prior consent is legally required.
11. Server Logs and Website Security
Like most websites, our hosting or security infrastructure may automatically create server logs.
These logs may contain technical information such as IP addresses, requested pages, timestamps, browser details, server responses and information relating to suspicious requests.
Such information may be processed to:
- Keep the website available;
- Investigate technical errors;
- Detect attacks;
- Prevent spam or fraudulent activity;
- Maintain server security; and
- Enforce website rules.
Security logs may be retained for an appropriate period based on operational, security and legal requirements.
12. Third-Party Links
Articles on Naija Teller may contain links to external websites.
Once you leave Naija Teller, the privacy policies and practices of the external website apply. We do not control how independent third-party websites collect or process information.
We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of websites they visit, particularly before providing personal information.
13. Third-Party Service Providers
We may rely on third parties to provide functions necessary for operating Naija Teller.
These could include services involved in:
- Website hosting;
- Content delivery;
- Analytics;
- Advertising;
- Security;
- Spam prevention;
- Email communications; and
- Website performance.
The exact providers used by the website may change as technologies and operational requirements change.
Where such companies process personal data on our behalf, we aim to use services subject to appropriate contractual, security or privacy safeguards as required by applicable law.
14. Data Retention
We do not retain personal information longer than reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to legitimate operational needs and legal obligations.
Different information may have different retention periods.
For example, correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to resolve an enquiry, while technical security logs may be retained according to hosting, security and fraud-prevention requirements.
Data collected through third-party services such as Google Analytics may also be subject to retention settings and policies maintained by those providers.
15. International Data Transfers
The internet and many online services operate internationally.
As a result, information processed through third-party services may be transferred to or processed in countries different from the country in which you reside.
Where international transfers of personal data are subject to GDPR or similar requirements, applicable transfer mechanisms or safeguards may be used by the relevant service provider.
For information about Google’s approach to international data transfers, see:

Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites or website features.
18. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signal.
There is not necessarily one universal way in which all websites and third-party services respond to every browser-based tracking preference.
Where legally recognised privacy signals or consent requirements apply, relevant website and third-party technologies may process those signals according to their respective configurations and legal obligations.
19. Children’s Privacy
Naija Teller is a general-audience biography publication and is not designed primarily for the collection of personal information from children.
We do not knowingly seek to collect unnecessary personal information from children through the website.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, contact us at contactwithphilip@naijateller.com.ng so that the matter can be reviewed.
20. Security of Information
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to help protect information processed through Naija Teller.
However, no website, internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Visitors should therefore exercise appropriate care when sending sensitive information electronically.
21. Sale of Personal Information
Naija Teller does not operate as a data brokerage business.
We do not intentionally collect personal information from visitors for the primary purpose of selling their identities or contact information to third parties.
Advertising and analytics services may process data as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy and under their respective privacy policies.
22. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:
- Our website;
- Technologies we use;
- Advertising or analytics services;
- Legal requirements;
- Privacy practices; or
- Our business operations.
When material changes are made, the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this policy may be revised.
We encourage visitors to review this page periodically.
