Privacy Policy

The Nation Africa (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates this website as an independent news publication. This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect through this site. If you have any questions about it, please reach out through our contact page.

We keep data collection to what we actually need. This includes:

• Information you give us. When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the message you send so we can respond.
• Usage and analytics data. Like most websites, we automatically receive information such as your approximate location, device and browser type, pages you view, and how you arrived at the site. We use this to understand what our readers find useful.
• Technical logs. Our servers record standard information such as IP addresses and request times to keep the site secure and reliable.
• Cookies and similar technologies. See our Cookie Policy for details on what we set and how to control it.

We do not require you to create an account to read the site, and we do not knowingly collect more personal information than is described here.

• To publish, operate, and improve the website and its content.
• To respond to messages, tips, and corrections you send us.
• To understand how our content is read so we can make it better.
• To keep the site secure and to prevent abuse or technical problems.
• To meet any legal or regulatory obligations that apply to us.

We use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to help us measure traffic and usage trends. These services may set their own cookies and process data (including in aggregated or anonymised form) on our behalf. They have their own privacy policies governing how they handle information. We may also use reputable service providers to host the site and deliver content.

We do not sell your personal information.

We only share information where it is necessary: with service providers who help us run the site (and only to that end), when required by law or to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition. In all cases we expect any recipients to protect your information appropriately.

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described above — for example, contact-form messages are retained while we handle and follow up on them — and then delete or anonymise it.

• You can control cookies through your browser and the options in our Cookie Policy.
• Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain uses.
• To make a request, contact us via our contact page and we will respond as required by applicable law.

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Our content may link to external websites that we do not control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date above. Significant changes will be made clear on this page.

If you have questions or requests about this policy or your information, please reach us through our contact page.
