Privacy Policy — Daily Reality NG | NDPA 2023 Compliant
Privacy Policy — Daily Reality NG
Your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains how Daily Reality NG may collect, use, disclose, retain and otherwise process information when you visit our website, contact the publication, submit a request, subscribe to communications or interact with services connected to our website.
Our aim is to explain these practices in understandable language without promising that every possible technology is active, that every third-party service operates in the same way, or that a particular legal or technical standard has been independently certified.
1. Who Operates Daily Reality NG?
Daily Reality NG is an independent Nigerian digital publication founded on 26 October 2025 and operated from Warri, Delta State, Nigeria.
Samson Ese
Founder, Publisher & Editor-in-Chief
Daily Reality NG, Warri, Delta State, Nigeria
For privacy questions and requests concerning personal information, contact the publication using the details in Section 19. The appropriate contact address depends on the nature of your request.
2. Information We May Collect
The information involved depends on how you use the website and which features are available. We do not need every category of information described below for every visitor.
| Interaction | Information that may be involved | Possible purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Visiting a webpage | Browser and device information, pages viewed, referral information, approximate location information supplied by a service, and technical events | Website delivery, analytics, troubleshooting and security |
| Sending an email | Your email address, name if supplied, message content and any attachments you choose to send | Responding to enquiries and handling correspondence |
| Using a contact or submission form | Information entered into the form, which may include contact details and the details of your request | Processing enquiries, feedback, corrections or other submissions |
| Subscribing to a newsletter | Email address and subscription, delivery or preference information | Sending the communications you requested and managing subscriptions |
| Commercial enquiries | Business contact details, organisation information and the contents of a proposal | Reviewing advertising, sponsorship, partnership or other business enquiries |
| Website protection | Technical logs or information used by relevant infrastructure to identify errors, abuse or suspicious activity | Service reliability, troubleshooting and protection against misuse |
Messages may contain personal information beyond what is necessary to respond. Please share only the information relevant to your request. Do not send passwords, bank PINs, card security codes, BVN details, one-time passwords or other sensitive credentials through ordinary contact channels.
We do not intentionally request sensitive personal information merely to allow you to read our articles. If you voluntarily send sensitive information that is not needed, we may ask you to use a safer channel or remove it where appropriate and feasible.
3. How Information Is Collected
Information may reach Daily Reality NG through several routes:
- Directly from you: when you email us, complete a form, submit a correction, request information or contact us about a business matter.
- Through website technology: when your browser requests pages or interacts with technical features, some information may be processed by the website host or supporting infrastructure.
- Through analytics: where analytics tools are configured and active, they may receive information about website visits and interactions.
- Through communication providers: where an email or newsletter service is used, the provider may process the information required to deliver and manage communications.
- Through third-party features: embedded forms, media, advertising or other integrations may involve the provider operating that feature.
The precise information collected depends on the service configuration at the time of your visit. This policy describes possible processing categories and is not a claim that every listed service or technology is installed on every page.
4. How We Use Information
Depending on the circumstances, information may be used to:
- deliver and maintain the website and its content;
- respond to reader questions and ordinary correspondence;
- review and process correction, copyright or editorial requests;
- send newsletters or other communications that a person has requested;
- measure website traffic and understand how readers use pages;
- diagnose technical problems and improve website functionality;
- identify or investigate spam, fraud, abuse or security problems;
- review legitimate advertising, affiliate, sponsorship or business enquiries;
- maintain records needed for appropriate operational or legal purposes;
- respond to valid legal requests or comply with applicable legal obligations; and
- exercise, establish or defend legal rights where appropriate.
We aim to use information for relevant and defined purposes. Information provided for one purpose should not automatically be treated as permission for unrelated uses.
5. Lawful Processing and Data Minimisation
Where the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 or other applicable data-protection law applies, personal information should be processed on an appropriate lawful basis and in accordance with relevant requirements.
Depending on the circumstances, a lawful basis may include consent, taking steps at a person's request, performing an arrangement, complying with a legal obligation, protecting a legitimate interest or another basis recognised by applicable law. The appropriate basis depends on the particular processing activity; this policy does not claim that one basis applies to every situation.
Our privacy approach is to collect or use information only where there is a relevant purpose, avoid requesting details that are unnecessary for that purpose, keep descriptions of our practices understandable, and review information-handling arrangements when material changes occur.
Where consent is the applicable basis, any withdrawal or change of consent will be handled in accordance with the relevant service's capabilities and applicable law. Withdrawing consent does not necessarily make earlier lawful processing invalid, and other lawful bases may apply to different activities.
Read the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and the Nigeria Data Protection Commission's published FAQs for the primary legal and regulatory context. This policy is an explanation of our intended privacy practices, not a declaration of regulatory certification or a substitute for the legislation.
6. Analytics and Google Analytics
Daily Reality NG uses the Google Analytics measurement identifier G-9BHHJBRXKC in its website measurement setup. Google Analytics may process information about how visitors interact with pages when the relevant tracking code and configuration are active.
Depending on configuration, browser settings and Google's services, analytics information may include:
- pages visited and interactions with website content;
- browser, device and technical information;
- referral information and information about how a visit reached the site;
- timestamps, interaction events and general usage patterns; and
- approximate geographic information or other measurements made available by the service.
Analytics is generally used to understand overall website usage, identify technical problems and assess content performance. The exact data collected depends on the measurement settings and any additional Google products or integrations that are active.
Google operates its own systems and privacy practices. Daily Reality NG does not control every aspect of Google's processing, retention, infrastructure or user controls.
For more information, review Google Analytics' information about data safeguards and collection and Google's Privacy Policy.
You may be able to limit certain analytics collection through browser settings, cookie controls or Google's available tools. Google also provides information about its Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The availability and effect of these options depend on your browser, device and the particular service.
8. Advertising, Affiliate Links and Sponsorships
Daily Reality NG may use or consider lawful commercial arrangements such as display advertising, affiliate links, sponsorships, paid partnerships or other monetisation services. The services in use may change. This policy does not assert that a particular advertising network, affiliate programme or commercial integration is active unless it has actually been implemented.
Display advertising
Where an advertising service is active, the provider may process technical or usage information to deliver advertisements, prevent invalid activity, measure performance or support personalisation where permitted. Depending on the provider and configuration, that information may include browser or device details, cookies, identifiers, approximate location, referral information and interactions with advertisements.
Advertising providers have their own policies and controls. Their processing is not entirely controlled by Daily Reality NG.
Personalised advertising and advertising choices
Where Google advertising products are used, relevant Google technologies may use cookies or similar identifiers for advertising-related purposes, subject to applicable settings, consent requirements and provider policies. Whether personalised advertising is available or enabled depends on the actual implementation, the visitor's location and settings, and the provider's rules.
You can review Google's advertising technologies information and available Google Ads Settings. These controls apply to the Google services and account or browser context covered by those settings; they do not necessarily disable all advertising across the internet.
Affiliate links
Some content may contain affiliate links where a relevant commercial relationship exists. If you follow such a link and complete an eligible action, the publication may receive a commission or other benefit under the terms of the applicable programme. Any commission arrangement should be disclosed where required or material to a reader's understanding.
Affiliate tracking may involve the third-party merchant or programme provider processing referral, transaction or technical information. The provider's terms and privacy policy govern its own processing.
Sponsored content and paid partnerships
Daily Reality NG may consider legitimate sponsorships or paid partnerships. Where a commercial relationship is material to an article or recommendation, it should be identified clearly. Commercial arrangements do not automatically mean that a partner controls independent editorial decisions.
For more information about the publication's commercial transparency, see the Advertiser Disclosure and Affiliate and Sponsored Disclosure.
9. Email, Newsletters and Contact Forms
Email correspondence
If you email Daily Reality NG, we will receive the address and message information you send, together with any additional details or attachments you choose to include. We may use that information to answer you, investigate the matter raised, maintain relevant correspondence or handle a legitimate editorial, operational or legal request.
Please use the appropriate address in Section 19 and avoid including sensitive information that is unnecessary to your enquiry.
Contact forms
The publication's contact form is provided through Google Forms. When you submit information through that form, the information may be processed through Google's systems according to the form configuration and the applicable Google terms and privacy practices. The information you enter may be available to the publication for the purpose of handling your submission.
Review Google's privacy information before submitting information if you want to understand the provider's separate practices. Do not submit information through a form that you would not reasonably expect the recipient to need for your enquiry.
Newsletters and email subscriptions
If a newsletter or email subscription feature is available and you choose to use it, your email address and related subscription information may be processed to manage your request and deliver communications.
Where the publication uses Kit or another newsletter service, that provider may process subscriber information to deliver messages, manage subscription status, monitor delivery and support service administration. The provider actually used and its configuration determine the processing involved.
We should not treat a person who has simply visited an article as having subscribed to a newsletter. You can use an unsubscribe link in a newsletter where one is provided, or contact the publication to request assistance with a subscription.
10. Third-Party Services and External Links
Daily Reality NG may rely on third-party services to host or deliver website pages, process forms, provide analytics, send communications, display embedded content or support other functions.
These providers may process information according to their own terms, privacy notices, settings and technical arrangements. Their services may be updated independently of Daily Reality NG, and their data practices may change over time.
Our website may also link to external websites, official government resources, research, businesses or other publications. A link is provided to help readers access information; it does not mean Daily Reality NG operates or controls the linked service.
Once you leave our website, the privacy practices of the external website or service apply to your interaction with it. Review the relevant privacy notice before providing personal information or using an external service.
11. When Information May Be Disclosed
Daily Reality NG does not intentionally sell readers' personal information to data brokers or unrelated marketers. Nevertheless, certain website functions may involve service providers processing information on our behalf or independently under their own terms.
Information may be shared or made available in circumstances such as:
- Service delivery: with hosting, analytics, email, form or other providers where their involvement is needed for a requested or active function.
- Reader-directed communications: where you choose to use a third-party service or ask us to pass information to another recipient.
- Legal obligations: where disclosure is required by applicable law or a valid legal process.
- Rights and safety: where reasonably necessary to investigate abuse, protect the website, address a credible security issue or establish or defend legal rights.
- Business administration: where relevant records are handled as part of legitimate operational, accounting or dispute-management activities.
Where a third-party advertising, analytics or affiliate service processes information for its own purposes, its activities may not be limited to acting as our service provider. The applicable provider documentation and configuration are important in determining the role it performs.
We do not promise that information can never be disclosed. Any disclosure should have an appropriate purpose and lawful basis in the circumstances.
12. International Processing and Storage
Daily Reality NG operates from Nigeria, but services used to host a website, deliver email, analyse traffic, provide forms or support other features may process information in Nigeria or other countries.
We do not claim that all website information is physically stored in Nigeria. The location of processing and storage depends on the provider, its infrastructure, the service configuration and the relevant data flows.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, applicable legal requirements concerning such transfers should be considered. Depending on the service, readers may need to consult the provider's own documentation for details about its processing locations, safeguards and international-transfer arrangements.
This policy does not certify that every current or future third-party transfer satisfies every applicable legal requirement. Material changes to the services used should prompt a review of the relevant privacy arrangements.
13. How Long Information May Be Retained
There is no single retention period that necessarily applies to every type of information handled by Daily Reality NG.
Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to respond to an enquiry, maintain relevant editorial or business records, administer a subscription, address a dispute, comply with a legal obligation or protect the operation of relevant systems.
For example:
- Correspondence may be retained while a matter is being handled and for a reasonable period afterwards where a record remains useful or necessary.
- Subscription information may be processed while a subscription remains active and for an appropriate period after cancellation where needed to administer the request or maintain legitimate records.
- Analytics information may be retained according to the settings and retention controls of the analytics service.
- Records subject to a legal obligation or an unresolved dispute may need to be retained for the relevant period.
These are descriptions of possible retention considerations, not guaranteed time limits for each category. Third-party providers may have separate retention schedules. Where information is no longer reasonably required for a legitimate purpose, it may be deleted, anonymised or otherwise disposed of where appropriate and technically feasible.
14. Security and Personal-Data Incidents
Information should be handled with appropriate care. However, internet transmission, digital storage and third-party systems cannot be described as completely risk-free.
Daily Reality NG does not promise that unauthorised access, data loss, service interruption or other technical incidents can never occur. Security arrangements may depend partly on website infrastructure and third-party services outside the publication's direct control.
If the publication becomes aware of a confirmed personal-data incident affecting information for which it has responsibility, the response should be assessed according to the nature and seriousness of the incident and applicable legal requirements. Appropriate steps may include investigating the event, restricting further access, working with relevant providers, documenting actions and making notifications where required.
Not every technical problem is necessarily a legally reportable personal-data breach. Any response and notification obligations depend on the facts and the applicable law.
15. Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on the circumstances and the law that applies, you may have rights concerning personal information relating to you. These may include the right to:
- request information about relevant processing;
- request access to personal information;
- ask for inaccurate or incomplete information to be corrected;
- request deletion of personal information where the applicable conditions are met;
- object to or request restriction of certain processing where the law provides that right;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
- request a copy of information in a portable format where the relevant right applies; and
- raise a complaint with the appropriate data-protection authority where applicable.
These rights are not absolute in every circumstance. A request may be subject to legal exceptions, legitimate competing rights, identity verification, technical limitations or other requirements under applicable law.
How to make a privacy request
Send your request to dailyrealityng@gmail.com. Explain what you want to know or change and provide enough context for us to identify the relevant information. Please do not include passwords, bank PINs or other sensitive credentials in your request.
For your protection, we may ask for reasonable verification before disclosing, correcting or deleting personal information. We will assess the request and respond according to applicable law and the circumstances. We do not promise a fixed response time for every possible request.
If you believe a privacy concern has not been adequately addressed, you may consider the complaint channels available through the Nigeria Data Protection Commission or another competent authority, as applicable.
16. Children's Privacy
Daily Reality NG is a general-interest publication and does not intend to collect personal information from children unnecessarily.
If a child or a person acting on a child's behalf contacts us, the information provided will be considered in the context of the request and applicable law. Additional safeguards or restrictions may apply depending on the child's age, the nature of the information and the circumstances of the processing.
If you believe that a child has submitted personal information that should not have been provided, contact dailyrealityng@gmail.com with sufficient details for us to assess the concern. We will consider appropriate action in light of the circumstances and applicable legal requirements.
17. Automated Processing and Personalised Content
Third-party services may use automated systems to measure website usage, detect suspicious activity, deliver advertisements, evaluate advertising performance or provide other service functions. The extent of such processing depends on the technologies and settings actually in use.
Daily Reality NG does not claim that it makes every editorial, business or reader-related decision through automated profiling. If a particular service involves profiling or automated decision-making that materially affects a person's rights, the relevant processing should be assessed and explained in accordance with applicable requirements.
Readers should consult the privacy information of the relevant third-party provider to understand its automated systems and available controls.
18. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This policy may be revised when the website's data practices, analytics configuration, communication services, advertising arrangements, infrastructure or applicable legal requirements change. It may also be corrected when an inaccurate or outdated statement is identified.
When a material revision is made, the date at the top of this page should be updated. Where appropriate, additional notice may be provided to explain a significant change.
Readers who need current information should check the latest version of this page. A policy update does not, by itself, establish that a new technology has been installed or that a particular processing activity is active; actual implementation and configuration remain relevant.
19. Questions, Requests and Complaints
For privacy enquiries, personal-information requests or concerns about how information has been handled, please contact the publication using the details below. Include enough information to explain the issue, but avoid sending unnecessary personal or confidential information.
We will review requests in good faith and consider the applicable legal requirements. Where a matter concerns a third-party service, we may need to explain which aspects are handled by that provider and direct you to its relevant privacy controls.
If your concern relates to an external website or service, you may also need to contact that provider directly. Daily Reality NG cannot independently change another company's records or determine every aspect of its data-processing practices.

21. Frequently Asked Privacy Questions
Does Daily Reality NG collect information about every reader?
Some technical information may be processed when a browser loads a webpage, depending on the hosting, analytics and other services active at the time. Not every visitor directly submits personal information to the publication.
Do I need to provide my name or email address to read articles?
Ordinary reading generally does not require you to email us or submit a contact form. Particular features, such as a newsletter subscription or a direct enquiry, may require contact information.
Does Daily Reality NG use Google Analytics?
The publication's analytics setup uses the measurement identifier G-9BHHJBRXKC. The information collected depends on the tracking implementation, its settings and the services active at the time of your visit.

Cookies or similar technologies may be used by website infrastructure, analytics or other third-party services. The categories actually active depend on the website configuration and the services in use.

Can I stop personalised advertising?
Where Google advertising services are involved, you can review Google's advertising information and Ads Settings. The effect of these controls depends on the service, device, browser and account settings, and they do not necessarily stop all advertising.

Is all information stored in Nigeria?
Not necessarily. Some providers may process or store information in other countries. The location and safeguards depend on the relevant service and its infrastructure.
Does this policy guarantee full legal compliance?
No policy document alone can establish that every legal obligation has been satisfied. This page explains the publication's intended privacy practices and should be kept aligned with actual processing and applicable law.
Where can I raise a complaint about data protection?
You may contact the publication first or consult the Nigeria Data Protection Commission's official website for information about regulatory rights and complaint options.
