This policy explains how Professions In Nigeria handles information when you visit professions.ng, contact us, use reader features or follow our purchase and support links. For questions or requests, contact office@professions.ng.
Information you provide
If you email or otherwise contact us, we receive the contact details, message and attachments you choose to send. A business-profile, partnership, permission or service enquiry may also include organisation details and information needed to handle that request.
If you choose a newsletter or a reader feature, the information requested at that point may include your name, email address, preferences or account details. Do not send sensitive personal records when an article URL and a short explanation will do.
Information collected when you browse
Our website and the services it loads can receive technical and usage information, including IP address, browser and device details, referring page, pages viewed, interaction events and request times. Cookies, local storage and similar technologies can remember preferences, support reader features, measure use and help deliver or measure advertising.
Reading public articles does not require a WordPress account. Authorised staff accounts use WordPress login and security features. Public comments are currently disabled. Historical comments and related records may remain in our site records; contact us if you have a request about information you previously submitted.
Why information is used
- To deliver and maintain the website, its downloads and reader features.
- To answer messages, investigate corrections and handle requests or transactions.
- To understand readership, improve content and measure advertising performance.
- To protect the site, investigate misuse and meet applicable recordkeeping or legal requirements.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
The site uses Google Analytics and Google advertising services, including AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on visits to this site and other websites. Advertising cookies can help Google and its partners personalise ads and measure their performance.
You can manage Google ad personalisation through My Ad Center. Read Google’s Privacy Policy and its explanation of information from sites that use Google services. Turning off personalised advertising does not necessarily stop all advertising or all technical data collection.
Meta Pixel is also used on the site. It can send information about visits, device/browser details and interaction events to Meta for advertising measurement and audience-related features. Meta may associate information it receives with its own account or device information. Its practices and controls are described in Meta’s Privacy Policy.
Use any cookie or privacy-choice message displayed to you to review the options it provides. Availability can depend on your location. You can also use browser settings to block or delete cookies; doing so may affect some features. If you cannot find a privacy control, contact us rather than assuming that closing a message disables every tracking technology.
Reader, sharing and embedded services
Grow by Mediavine provides reader features such as saving content and account-related functionality. If you use a Grow account or newsletter feature, Grow can process account information and activity under its own terms. See Mediavine’s privacy notices and reader privacy controls. The presence of Grow does not mean that every advertisement on this site is supplied by Mediavine.
AddToAny supplies sharing tools and can receive technical request information when its features load or are used. See AddToAny’s Privacy Policy. Embedded media and social platforms may also receive data when their content loads or when you follow a link, particularly if you are signed into those services.
Downloads, purchases and reader support
Our downloadable data tables and blank worksheets are files. Completing a downloaded worksheet on your device does not automatically send the values back to us. The download request itself may still appear in technical logs or analytics. If you email a completed file to us, it becomes part of that correspondence.
Reader-support payments use Paystack. Payment details are entered on the payment provider’s checkout rather than sent to us by email. We may receive a transaction reference, payment status and contact or receipt information needed for records and support. See Paystack’s privacy information. Purchases through linked bookstores or other external services are also subject to the destination’s privacy terms.
Sharing, processing locations and retention
Information can be processed by hosting, email, security, analytics, advertising, reader-feature and payment providers as needed for the purposes above. Some providers act under their own privacy policies. Information may also be disclosed when required by applicable law or necessary to address fraud, security incidents or legal claims.
These services may process information outside your country. Their privacy notices describe their processing and transfer arrangements. Contact us if you need information about a transfer involving data you have provided to us.
Retention depends on the purpose: handling an enquiry, maintaining an account, keeping transaction records, investigating security issues or meeting legal obligations. Backup copies may remain until they are replaced through normal backup cycles. Ask us about a particular record or request deletion; information required for legal, accounting or security purposes may need to be retained.
Your choices and privacy requests
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of your personal information; withdraw consent; or object to or restrict certain processing. Some laws also provide rights concerning targeted advertising or the sale or sharing of personal information. These rights can have exceptions and do not all apply in every location.
Send requests to office@professions.ng with enough information to identify the relevant interaction. We may need proportionate information to verify a request before disclosing or changing records. Do not send identity documents unless a suitable verification method has been agreed. Unsubscribe from a newsletter using its unsubscribe option, and use the relevant provider’s controls for data it holds independently.
Where the Nigeria Data Protection Act applies, the basis for processing depends on the activity and may include consent, steps needed for a requested service or contract, legal obligations, or legitimate interests considered alongside your rights. You can ask us which basis applies to your information.
If you remain concerned about the handling of your personal data, you may contact the Nigeria Data Protection Commission or another competent data protection authority.
Security, children and changes to this policy
No online service or email transmission is completely secure. Avoid sending unnecessary confidential information, and contact us if you believe personal information has been exposed through this site.
Our publication is intended for a general professional audience, not for children under 13. We do not ask children under 13 to provide personal information. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us so we can investigate and address it.
We may update this policy when the website, its services or our practices change. The date at the top identifies the latest revision. Read our About page or Contact page for more about the publication and how to reach us.
