Privacy Policy
This explains what Naija City collects when you play, why, and the choices you have. We aim to follow the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and to collect only what the game needs.
1. What we collect
- Account details: your name, email address and sign-in method (email and password, or Google). Passwords are handled by Firebase Authentication; we never see them.
- Age check: your date of birth, collected once to confirm you are 18+.
- Profile: your @username and game name, which other players can see.
- Game data: your progress, wallet and ledger, property, jobs, businesses, bets, loans, achievements, and your position in the shared town while you play.
- Things you create: messages, group posts, player ads and pictures you upload. Messages are visible to the people you send them to; ads and public posts are visible to other players.
- Payments: if you buy a top-up, our payment partner (Bachs) processes the payment. We receive the order reference, amount and status, not your card or bank details.
- Notifications: if you allow them, a web-push subscription for your browser or device.
- Technical data: IP address, browser and device type, and basic usage and performance metrics, used for security, rate limiting, fraud prevention and keeping the game running.
2. How we use it
- to run your account, save your progress and operate the multiplayer game;
- to confirm you are an adult and to enforce our Terms;
- to process top-ups and prevent fraud, cheating and abuse;
- to send notifications you have asked for;
- to measure, fix and improve the game.
We don’t sell your personal data and we don’t show third-party ads based on it.
3. Who handles it
We use service providers who process data on our behalf: Cloudflare (hosting, database, file storage, bot checks), Google Firebase (sign-in), and Bachs (payments). They may process data outside Nigeria; we choose providers with appropriate safeguards. We may also share information when the law requires it, or to protect players and our service from fraud or abuse.
4. Cookies and local storage
We use browser storage and similar technology to keep you signed in, save your progress on your device, remember settings, and make the app work offline. We don’t use them for third-party advertising.
5. How long we keep it
We keep your data while your account is active. If you ask us to delete your account we remove your personal data and content, except records we must keep for legal, accounting or fraud-prevention reasons (for example, payment records), which we keep only as long as needed.
6. Your rights
You can ask to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, to object to certain uses, or to withdraw consent for notifications (you can also switch them off in your browser or device). Email privacy@naija.city from the address on your account and we’ll respond within a reasonable time. You may also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.
7. Security
We use encrypted connections, access controls and rate limits, but no online service is perfectly secure. Choose a strong password and don’t share it.
8. Children
The game is for adults only. We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has an account, tell us and we’ll remove it.
9. Changes
We may update this policy. If we make important changes we’ll tell you in the game. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
