Privacy Policy – Tech Guide NG

This policy explains what information we collect when you visit this site, how it is used, and what control you have over it. By using the site you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

Automatically. Our servers and third-party services record standard log information when you visit: your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, the pages you view, the site you arrived from, and the date and time of your visit. This is used to understand how the site is used and to keep it working properly.

Information you provide. If you contact us, we receive whatever you choose to send — typically your name, email address and your message. We use it to respond to you and for nothing else.

We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for personal information to read the site.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use them to remember preferences, understand how the site is used, and — in the case of advertising partners — to serve advertisements.

You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when they are being sent. Some parts of the site may not function correctly if cookies are disabled.

Advertising

This site may display advertising provided by third-party advertising companies, including Google. These companies may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to this and other websites. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. We do not have access to or control over the cookies used by third-party advertisers.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve advertisements to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet.

You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, and control what data is collected, at How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.

Your choices:

Opt out of personalised advertising through Google Ad Settings
Opt out of third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info
If you are in Europe, Your Online Choices

Opting out does not stop you seeing advertisements. It means the advertisements you see are less likely to be tailored to you.

Consent for users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom

Where required by law, we and our advertising partners will seek your consent before setting non-essential cookies or using your data for personalised advertising, and you may withdraw that consent at any time through your browser settings or the opt-out links above. Our advertising partners operate in accordance with Google’s EU user consent policy.

Analytics

We may use analytics services to understand how the site is used — which pages are read, how visitors arrive, and how long they stay. This is used in aggregate to improve what we publish. Analytics providers may set their own cookies and receive your IP address.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one, the destination site may set a cookie recording that you arrived from here, so that any resulting purchase is attributed. This is described further in our disclaimer and editorial standards.

How we use information

To operate, maintain and improve the site

Data retention and security

Enquiry correspondence is retained only for as long as needed to respond and to keep a reasonable record. Log and analytics data is retained in accordance with the relevant provider’s policies.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, though no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

Third-party links

This site links to other websites we do not operate. We are not responsible for their privacy practices or their content, and we encourage you to read their own policies.

Children’s privacy

This site is intended for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will remove it.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent.

Nigerian data protection law provides rights over personal data, and readers in other jurisdictions may have rights under their own law. To exercise any of these, contact us and we will respond.

You can also control cookies through your browser and opt out of personalised advertising using the links above.
