Privacy Policy

Your trust matters
more than our data.

We wrote this in plain English, not legalese. No hiding behind jargon. If something is unclear, ask us directly and we will explain it.

We don’t sell your data

Not to advertisers, data brokers, political campaigns — nobody. Your information is not our product.

🔒

No account required

You never need to sign up or log in. You can use every part of this platform completely anonymously.

🌀

Always free, no ads

We don’t run ads. We don’t let advertisers track you through our pages. Your reading is your own business.

Who we are

TL;DR — A Nigerian team

Current Affairs Nigeria (currentaffairs.com.ng) is an independent civic information platform built and maintained by a small Nigerian team. We are not affiliated with any government agency, political party, or corporate interest.

Our mission is simple: make Nigeria’s civic data — governors, senators, ministers, universities, local governments — free, accurate and easy to find for every Nigerian, whether they’re preparing for WAEC, doing research, or just curious about who runs their state.

This platform belongs to Nigerians. We do not take government funding or advertising money that would compromise what we publish.

What we collect — and why

TL;DR — Very little

We collect only what we genuinely need to run the platform. Here is the full, honest list:

Basic server logs — your IP address, browser type, and which pages you visit. Every web server in the world keeps these. We use them to diagnose errors and understand which content is most useful. Logs are automatically deleted after 30 days.
Anonymous usage data — page views, search terms used on our site (not your Google searches), and which states or officials are most searched. This helps us know what to improve. None of this is linked to you personally.
Contact form submissions — only if you choose to contact us. We collect your name, email and message. See the Contact Form section below.
Quiz progress — stored in your own browser’s localStorage. This never leaves your device. We cannot see it. You can clear it anytime by clearing your browser data.

That is genuinely everything. We do not run hidden tracking pixels, we do not fingerprint your browser, and we do not build profiles about you.

🚫

What we never do

TL;DR — The important part

These are not aspirations. These are commitments:

Sell your data to anyone. No data brokers, no advertisers, no political consultants, no government agencies. Ever.
Run ads or let ad networks track you. There are no Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, or any third-party advertising scripts on these pages.
Share your contact details with anyone. If you email or WhatsApp us, that conversation stays between us.
Require you to create an account. You can use every feature — Q&A, quiz, officials directory, job listings — without giving us any personal information.
Send you unsolicited emails or SMS. If you contact us, we reply to your message. We do not add you to any mailing list without asking.
🍪

Cookies

TL;DR — Minimal, useful only

We use cookies only where they make the site work better for you — not to track you across the internet.

Session cookie — a temporary ID your browser uses to keep the contact form secure (CSRF protection). It expires when you close your browser tab.
No tracking cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, or any third-party cookie-based tracking tool.
No persistent profiling cookies. We do not remember your reading history or browsing behaviour between visits.

Your quiz progress and “Got it” answers on the Q&A page are stored in your browser’s localStorage — a space on your own device that only your browser can read. We have no access to it.

👥

Third-party services we use

TL;DR — Two, both disclosed

We try to host everything ourselves. Where we use external services, we tell you:

Google Fonts — we load the Inter and Fraunces typefaces from Google Fonts. When your browser requests these, Google’s servers log your IP address per their own privacy policy. We cannot control this. If this concerns you, you can block Google Fonts via a browser extension.
cPanel shared hosting — the platform is hosted on a Nigerian-accessible shared server. Standard server logs are maintained by the hosting provider and subject to their policies.
External links: Our pages link to government websites, JAMB, WAEC, university portals and other external sites. Once you leave our site, their own privacy policies apply — not ours. We have no control over what they collect.
💌

When you contact us

TL;DR — Stays between us

If you use our contact form, send us an email, or message us on WhatsApp, here is what happens:

We receive your name, email address and message.
We use this information only to respond to your message.
If you report an error or suggest a data correction, we may use the information in your message to update our database (not your personal details — just the correction itself).
We do not add you to a mailing list, newsletter or any marketing communication without asking you first.
We do not share your message or contact details with anyone else.

We retain contact records for up to 12 months in case we need to follow up on a correction or partnership enquiry. After that, they are deleted.

✌️

Your rights

TL;DR — You have control

Nigeria’s Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) gives you real rights over your personal data. We respect them fully:

Right to know — you can ask us what personal data we hold about you at any time.
Right to correction — if anything we hold is wrong, tell us and we will correct it.
Right to deletion — you can ask us to delete any personal data we hold about you. We will confirm when done.
Right to object — if you believe we are using your data in a way that harms you, tell us. We take this seriously.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@currentaffairs.com.ng or use the contact page. We respond within 5 working days.

Children and young people

TL;DR — Safe for students

Many of our users are students preparing for WAEC, JAMB and NECO — and we take that responsibility seriously. This platform contains no adult content, no advertising, and no features designed to collect data from children.

Since we require no account or registration, young people can use the entire platform without giving us any personal information. Quiz progress is stored in their own browser only.

If you are a parent or teacher with concerns, please contact us — we will respond promptly.

📄

If this policy changes

TL;DR — We tell you upfront

We will update this page if our data practices change, and we will note the date at the top of the page. If the change is significant — like if we ever started collecting more data or working with new third parties — we will add a visible notice on the homepage.

We will not hide material changes in fine print. That is a promise.

The current version of this policy was last updated in June 2025.

Still have questions?

Privacy policies are only meaningful if people can actually hold us to them. If anything above is unclear, sounds wrong, or you want to know something we haven’t covered — please ask.

We are a small team and we read every message ourselves. You will get a real reply from a real person.
