- Legal obligations: Where we must process or retain information to comply with applicable law.
- Other lawful bases: Where recognised and permitted by applicable data protection law.
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
5. Newsletter and Marketing Communications
If you subscribe to a NollyChart newsletter or other email update, we may use your email address to send the communications you requested.
These communications may include financial news, educational articles, market updates, tax information, insurance explainers, and other relevant editorial content.
You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the message, where available, or by contacting us directly.
Unsubscribing from marketing communications will not necessarily prevent essential administrative or security-related communications where these are necessary and lawful.
We will not sell your email address to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
6. How We Share Information
NollyChart does not sell personal information to third parties as a business practice.
However, we may share limited personal information in the following circumstances, where necessary and lawful:
6.1 Service Providers
We may share information with trusted providers that help operate our website and services. These may include hosting providers, website maintenance providers, email delivery platforms, analytics providers, security services, and advertising technology providers.
Such providers may process information on our behalf or in accordance with their own applicable privacy terms, depending on their role and the service involved.
Where required, we take appropriate steps to ensure that personal information is handled lawfully and protected through suitable contractual and technical measures.
6.2 Legal and Regulatory Requirements
We may disclose information where required by applicable law, a valid court order, or a lawful request from a competent regulatory or government authority.
6.3 Protection and Security
We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to investigate suspected fraud, address security incidents, enforce our legal rights, or protect the safety and rights of NollyChart, our readers, or other individuals.
6.4 Business Transfers
If NollyChart undergoes a merger, restructuring, acquisition, or transfer of relevant business assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law and appropriate safeguards.
7. Third-Party Services and External Links
NollyChart may contain links to third-party websites, financial institutions, stock exchanges, government agencies, advertisers, social media platforms, research services, or other external resources.
We may also use third-party tools to support analytics, newsletters, advertising, embedded media, or other website features.
These third parties may collect information directly from you or through technologies operating on their services, subject to their own privacy policies and settings.
NollyChart does not control the privacy practices of external websites. We encourage you to review the relevant third-party privacy policies before providing personal information or interacting with their services.
A link to an external website does not necessarily indicate that NollyChart endorses its products, services, or privacy practices.
8. International Data Transfers
Some service providers used by NollyChart may store or process personal information outside Nigeria.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take the measures required by applicable data protection law, which may include assessing the destination, ensuring an appropriate legal basis, and implementing recognised safeguards.
The protections applicable to information processed in another country may differ from those available in Nigeria. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that any international transfer is handled lawfully.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, meet applicable legal obligations, resolve disputes, maintain security, and enforce our agreements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
For example:
- Newsletter subscription details may be retained while your subscription remains active and for a reasonable period afterward where necessary.
- Enquiry correspondence may be retained for as long as needed to respond and maintain relevant records.
- Technical logs may be retained for a period appropriate to security, troubleshooting, and operational needs.
- Information required for legal compliance may be retained for the period required by law.
When personal information is no longer necessary, we will take appropriate steps to delete, anonymise, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal requirements.
10. Data Security
NollyChart takes reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, unlawful processing, loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Depending on the nature of the information and the services used, these measures may include access controls, secure hosting arrangements, software updates, security monitoring, and appropriate administrative safeguards.
However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot promise absolute security.
If a personal data breach occurs, we will take appropriate steps to investigate, mitigate its effects, and make any notifications required by applicable law.
