At
NaijaNewsFlash ("NaijaNewsFlash",
"we,"
or "us"),
we are committed to ensuring the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy
("Policy")
describes how personal information is collected from users of the NaijaNewsFlash's Web site located at www.NaijaNewsFlash.com ("Site"),
and how that information is used and disclosed. By using our Site, you consent

Personal
information is information that specifically identifies an individual, such as
a user's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit
card or other account number, and information about that individual's
activities when directly linked to that person such as information about his or
her purchases or use of services. Personal information also includes
demographic information such as date of birth, gender, geographic area and
preferences when such information is linked to other personal information that
identifies you.
Personal
information does not include "aggregate" information. Aggregate
information is data we collect about a group or category of products, services
or users from which individual user identities have been removed. In other
words, information about how you use a service may be collected and combined
with information about how others use the same service, but no personal
information will be included in the resulting data. Likewise, information about
the products you purchase may be collected and combined with information about
the products purchased by others. Aggregate data helps us understand trends and
user needs so that we can better consider new products and services, and tailor
existing products and services to user desires.
