Privacy Notice
This Privacy Notice explains how personal information may be collected and handled through the Ògèrè Rẹ́mọ community website. It is intended to support transparent and responsible operation of the platform in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and applicable guidance of the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.
Last updated: 31 August 2026.
Who This Notice Applies To
This notice applies to visitors and people who interact with the website, including those who submit enquiries, contribute content, register for activities where registration is enabled, support approved campaigns or use future community features that involve personal information.
Information We May Collect
The information collected depends on the service used. It may include:
- name and contact information supplied through an enquiry or submission;
- the content of messages, corrections, archive contributions or other material you submit;
- information required for an event, campaign or community service where a specific form is provided;
- technical information needed to operate and secure the website, such as IP address, browser information, security logs and cookie data;
- payment-related confirmation information for an approved campaign, where applicable. The website should avoid storing full payment-card data unless a compliant payment provider and documented need require it; and
- future community-election identity and eligibility information only where an authorised election is established under a separate approved privacy and electoral framework.
Why Information Is Used
Personal information should be used only for a defined purpose and lawful basis. Purposes may include responding to enquiries, processing content or correction submissions, administering approved events or campaigns, operating and securing the website, maintaining required records and meeting legal or regulatory obligations.
Where consent is the appropriate lawful basis, people should be able to understand what they are agreeing to and withdraw consent where the law permits. Other processing may rely on contractual necessity, legal obligation, legitimate interests or another basis recognised under applicable Nigerian data-protection law.
Sharing and Service Providers
Information should not be sold to advertisers. It may be shared with authorised community personnel or service providers only where necessary for the relevant purpose, website operation, security, hosting, communications, payments or another documented service.
Third-party providers that process personal data should be assessed appropriately and their data-protection terms retained. A public list of processors should be published when the operational configuration is finalised and verified rather than guessed in advance.
Retention and Security
Personal information should be retained only for as long as it is required for the purpose for which it was collected, legal obligations, dispute handling, security or an approved archival reason. Appropriate technical and organisational measures should be used to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, alteration, loss or disclosure.
No internet service can promise absolute security. Users should avoid sending passwords, identity documents, financial credentials or other highly sensitive information through ordinary email unless an authorised process specifically requires it.
Your Data-Protection Rights
Subject to applicable law and any lawful limitations, individuals may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection and portability of their personal data, as well as rights concerning consent and complaints.
Requests concerning personal information can be sent to contact@ogereremo.com. The website operator should verify the identity of the requester where necessary before disclosing or changing personal information.
Community Elections and High-Risk Processing
The project blueprint recognises that a digital community-election module would involve high-risk processing of voter identity and voting information. A Data Protection Impact Assessment, electoral governance rules and appropriate security controls are required before such a module is used for a binding election.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be updated as website features, service providers and governance arrangements develop. Material changes should be dated and, where appropriate, communicated through the website.
