Privacy Policy for Political Razzmatazz
Effective Date: June 21, 2026
At Political Razzmatazz, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. Our core philosophy is built on delivering political news and fostering open discourse, not on harvesting user data.
This Privacy Policy outlines our minimal data collection practices. Simply put: We do not actively track, collect, or sell personal user information. The only data we process is what you voluntarily provide to us when interacting directly with our platform.
1. Information We Collect
We only collect information in two specific instances, entirely driven by your voluntary actions on the site:
- When You Leave a Comment: If you choose to leave a comment on a news article or opinion piece, we collect the data shown in the comments form (such as your chosen name and the comment itself). To help protect the site from malicious bots and spam, we also collect your IP address and browser user agent string.
- When You Use the Contact Form: If you send us a news tip, report, or general inquiry via our Contact Us page, we collect the information you choose to enter into the form fields. This may include your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
2. How We Use Your Information
The minimal information we receive is used strictly for operational purposes:
- To Publish Your Views: To display your comments and facilitate public discussion on our articles.
- To Respond to You: To review your news tips, address your concerns, and reply to your direct messages.
- To Protect the Platform: To run automated spam detection services to keep our comment sections clean and secure.
3. Cookies
Because we do not use tracking or behavioral advertising, our use of cookies is strictly functional:
- Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name and email address in cookies. These 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.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
Your data is only shared in the following limited circumstances:
- Spam Detection Services: Visitor comments and contact form submissions may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
- Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, or in response to a valid legal request by public authorities, in compliance with applicable frameworks including the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) and other relevant international data privacy regulations.
5. Data Retention
- Comments: 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.
- Contact Submissions: Messages sent via our contact form are kept only as long as necessary to address your inquiry, provide support, or investigate a news tip.
6. Your Data Rights
You retain full control over the information you voluntarily provide to us. You have the right to:
- Request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
- Request that we erase any personal data we hold about you (such as removing a comment or deleting a contact form submission). Note: This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
