Privacy Policy

Who we are

We are 3rd Eye Africa TV, an investigative reporting and news platform based in Abuja, Nigeria, committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your personal data is handled responsibly. This Privacy Policy outlines the information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your personal information.

1. Personal Data

• Name, email address, and other details provided when you fill out forms, leave comments, or register on our site.

• Payment information when subscribing to premium content or services.

2. Automatically Collected Data

• IP address, browser type, operating system, and access times.

• Data collected via cookies and similar technologies.

3. Additional Data

• Location data for services requiring geographic targeting (with consent).

• Information collected from third-party integrations, such as YouTube embedded videos.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and improve our services.

• Respond to your inquiries or comments.

• Send newsletters or promotional materials (if opted-in).

• Enhance website security and performance.

• Comply with legal obligations.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the 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 called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is 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 website.

Cookies

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help us improve your browsing experience.

How We Use Cookies

• To remember your preferences and login details.

• To analyze website traffic and usage patterns.

• To display personalized advertisements (if applicable).

You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect your experience on our site.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that 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 do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. However, we may share your data with:

• Service providers who assist in website operations (e.g., hosting, analytics, payment processing).

• Legal authorities when required by law.

• Third-party platforms for embedded content and integrations.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can 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.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

Under Nigerian Data Protection Regulations (NDPR) and international standards, you have the following rights:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.

• Deletion: Request deletion of your data, subject to legal and operational limitations.

• Restriction: Limit how we process your data under certain conditions.

• Portability: Receive your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

• Withdrawal of Consent: Withdraw consent where processing is based on your consent.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [info@3rdeyeafricatv.com].

Data Security

We implement robust technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no online platform is completely secure, and we encourage users to take precautions when sharing personal information online.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Additionally, your data may be processed and stored on secure servers located in Nigeria or other jurisdictions compliant with international data protection laws.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or other reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information.
