Who We Are: Our Privacy Policy
Welcome to LoadNaija.com.ng – The Information Hub. Our website address is: https://loadnaija.com.ng. We are a Nigerian-based online platform dedicated to delivering timely news, updates, entertainment, and educational content to our diverse audience.
Your privacy is important to us. This page explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use and protect it.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on LoadNaija, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (hash) generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to LoadNaija.com.ng, please avoid uploading photos with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location information from any images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details next time. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in:
- We’ll set cookies to save your login info and screen display preferences.
- Login cookies last for 2 days; screen options cookies last for 1 year.
- If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for 2 weeks.

If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on LoadNaija may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you had visited those external sites.
These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content — especially if you are logged in to their platform.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
For users who register on LoadNaija.com.ng (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal data at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also access and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of your personal data we hold, including anything you’ve submitted. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.
Note: This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to maintain site quality and user safety.
