NGN Community

Privacy (v0.1)

This notice describes how NGN Community may process personal data. It is a starting point for Nigeria NDPR-style transparency—not a substitute for counsel.

1. Who we are

This forum (“NGN Community”) is operated as part of the ngn.lol project. The data controller identity and contact should match how you operate ngn.lol in practice—update this section with your legal entity or operator name.

2. What we collect

  • Account: email address, username, password hash (we do not store plaintext passwords).
  • Content: posts, replies, and metadata (timestamps).
  • Technical: IP address, browser type, and similar logs from the web server for security and abuse prevention.
  • Cookies / session: a session cookie to keep you logged in.

3. Why we process data

  • To run the forum (authentication, display of posts).
  • To secure the service (rate limits, spam/fraud mitigation).
  • To meet legal obligations where applicable.

4. Legal basis (NDPR-style framing)

Processing is based on contract (providing the service you sign up for), legitimate interests (security and integrity of the community), and, where required, consent (e.g. optional marketing—currently not default).

5. Retention

Posts remain until deleted by users (where supported) or moderators. Server logs are rotated according to host policy. Backups may retain copies for a limited period—align backup retention with your risk tolerance.

6. Sharing

We do not sell personal data. Hosting and infrastructure providers may process data strictly to operate the service. If compelled by lawful authority, we may disclose what the law requires.

7. Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of processing. For NDPR-related requests, you may also contact the Nigeria Data Protection Commission as regulations allow.

How to request: contact the operator through the official channels on ngn.lol (add a dedicated inbox when ready). We may need to verify your identity before acting on account-linked data.

8. International transfers

If servers or processors are outside Nigeria, we rely on appropriate safeguards as required by law (update when your stack is final).

9. Children

This service is not directed at children under 16. Remove accounts if discovered.

10. Changes

We may update this page; material changes should be announced on the forum or ngn.lol.
