At NewsTime (newstime.com.ng), we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using newstime.com.ng, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

Information you give us. If you email us, message us on WhatsApp, leave a comment or subscribe to anything on our site, we receive the details you choose to share, such as your name, email address, phone number and your message.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers may collect technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, the pages you view, the time and date of your visit, and the website that referred you.

How we use your information

• to run, maintain and improve our website and our content;
• to reply to your messages, tips and enquiries;
• to understand how readers use the site, through analytics;
• to show advertising, which helps fund our work;
• to protect the site against spam, abuse and security threats; and

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to remember your preferences, understand traffic and show ads. You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work properly if you block them.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display ads on NewsTime. Google and its partners, including third-party vendors, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to our site and other websites on the internet. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites.

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before personalised ads are shown.

Analytics

We may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to learn how visitors find and use our site. These tools collect information such as pages visited and time spent on the site, and do not identify you personally.

Third-party links

Our articles may link to other websites. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please read their privacy policies before sharing any information with them.

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with trusted service providers who help us run the site (such as hosting, analytics and advertising partners), or when the law requires us to do so.

Data security and retention

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. We keep personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes above or as the law requires.
