Privacy Policy
Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) · Last updated 2 November 2026
PulseGrid Media Ltd ("PulseGrid", "we") publishes business news at pulsegrid.media. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We process personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) issued by the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), and with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 where it applies.
1. What we collect
- Essential technical data — IP address, request metadata and security signals needed to serve pages and prevent abuse.
- Consent record — your cookie and tracking choices, stored in your browser, so we do not ask on every visit.
- Analytics data — only if you grant analytics consent: aggregated page views, referrers and reading depth.
- Advertising data — only if you grant personalised-ads consent: ad relevance and frequency-capping signals.
- Newsletter data — only if you opt in and grant newsletter-storage consent: your email address.
2. Lawful basis and consent
We rely on your explicit consent for analytics, personalised advertising and newsletter storage, and on legitimate interest for security and fraud prevention. Nothing non-essential loads before you choose. Our consent banner offers granular options and a "Reject non-essential" path that is as easy to use as "Accept all". You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer.
3. Cookies
Essential storage keeps your session, your theme preference and your consent record. It is set without consent because the service cannot function without it. All other storage is opt-in. We do not use third-party tracking pixels before consent, and we do not sell personal data.
4. How long we keep data
Consent records are kept for 12 months and then re-confirmed. Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Aggregated analytics are retained for 26 months in aggregate form only. Security logs are retained for 90 days.
5. Your rights under the NDPR
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion where we no longer have a lawful basis.
- Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting prior processing.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interest.
- Lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC).
To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@pulsegrid.media. We respond within 30 days.
6. Processors and transfers
We use hosting, email delivery and analytics processors that act on our instructions under written data-processing terms. Where a processor stores data outside Nigeria, transfers rely on the NDPR adequacy and contractual safeguards framework. We do not transfer personal data to advertisers.
7. Children
PulseGrid is a business news service and is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect their personal data.
