Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Welcome to Explore Enugu. Our website address is: https://explorenugu.com.ng. We are dedicated to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled with care.

Information We Collect

Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the site.

Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience on Explore Enugu. If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on our site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

We take your privacy seriously and do not share your personal information with third parties, except in the following cases:

  • Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, data analysis, email delivery, and customer service. These service providers are only given access to the information necessary to perform their specific tasks and are required to protect your information.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, or if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect and defend our rights or property, prevent fraud, or protect the safety of our users.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Additionally, some of your data may be processed outside of your country of residence, including in countries that may have different data protection laws. We take steps to ensure that your data is handled securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Data Security

We employ a variety of security measures to protect the personal information you provide to us. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and we will notify you of significant changes through the website or via email. Your continued use of the website after any modifications to the Privacy Policy will signify your acceptance of the updated terms.
