Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 22, 2025

Important Privacy Notice: This Privacy Policy describes how FREE Nigeria collects and processes your personal information through our website, mobile applications, and other digital services (collectively, our "Digital Properties"). By using our Digital Properties, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. As a New York-based organization, we comply with New York State privacy laws and regulations, which provide you with specific rights regarding your personal information. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Digital Properties.

Terms of Service Notice: Your use of our Digital Properties is also governed by our Terms of Service. By using our Digital Properties, you agree to be bound by both this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. Please note that our Terms of Service contains important provisions that limit our liability to you and requires you to resolve any dispute through binding arbitration and not in court. Any claims must be brought on an individual basis and not as part of a class action, with monetary recovery limited to $100.

Before Proceeding: We strongly encourage you to review our Terms of Service in full, as it contains important information about your legal rights, remedies, and obligations. Your continued use of our Digital Properties indicates your acceptance of both this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

Welcome to FREE Nigeria. We value your privacy and want to be clear about how we handle your information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use our Digital Properties. Like our Terms of Service, this creates an agreement between you and FREE Nigeria, including our parent organization, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, partners, and licensors (together, our "Protected Parties").

1. Information We Collect

To provide you with the best possible service, we collect:

  • Information you provide directly (like your name and email)
  • Account details when you register
  • Information about how you use our Website
  • Technical details that help us improve your experience

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide and improve our services
  • Keep you updated about changes to our Website
  • Ensure our Website works properly and securely

3. Protecting Your Information

Your privacy matters to us. Here's how we protect it:

  • We use industry-standard security measures
  • We limit access to your information to only those who need it
  • We never sell your personal information to third parties

4. Your Privacy Rights

You're in control of your information. You can:

  • Access your personal information
  • Request corrections to your data
  • Ask us to delete your information

Under New York law, you also have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.

5. Integration with Terms of Service

This Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service together form a single, integrated agreement that governs your use of our Digital Properties. Your acceptance of one constitutes acceptance of both. In the event of any conflict between this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service regarding the handling of personal information, this Privacy Policy will prevail. Any disputes arising from privacy matters will be resolved through the dispute resolution process specified in our Terms of Service, namely through JAMS arbitration in New York County, New York, or if such arbitration is found unenforceable, through the state and/or federal courts in New York County (Manhattan) in the Southern District of New York.

6. Severability and Enforcement

If any portion of this Privacy Policy is found to be unenforceable, the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of this Privacy Policy will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. Like our Terms of Service, this policy is essential to protecting both your privacy rights and our ability to provide these services.

If you have questions about your privacy, please reach out to us. We're here to help! For questions about your legal rights and obligations, please review our Terms of Service.

Note: We are subject to the jurisdiction of the New York State Department of State and the New York State Attorney General's office for the purposes of enforcement of this policy. This policy works in conjunction with our Terms of Service to protect both your privacy and our ability to provide these services.
