When people use NaijaCrowd, they may store and share information about you and others that they have, such as when they upload and manage their invites and contacts.

 

Other information we receive about you

We also receive other types of information about you:

  • We receive data about you whenever you interact with NaijaCrowd, such as when you look at another person’s timeline, send or receive a message, search for a friend or a Page, click on, view or otherwise interact with things, use a NaijaCrowdmobile app, or purchase NaijaCrowdCredits or make other purchases through NaijaCrowd.
  • When you post things like photos or videos on NaijaCrowd, we may receive additional related data (or metadata), such as the time, date, and place you took the photo or video.
  • We receive data from the computer, mobile phone or other device you use to access NaijaCrowd, including when multiple users log in from the same device. This may include your IP address and other information about things like your internet service, location, the type (including identifiers) of browser you use, or the pages you visit. For example, we may get your GPS or other location information so we can tell you if any of your friends are nearby.
  • We receive data whenever you visit a game, application, or website that uses NaijaCrowdPlatform or visit a site with a NaijaCrowd feature (such as a social plugin), sometimes through cookies. This may include the date and time you visit the site; the web address, or URL, you’re on; technical information about the IP address, browser and the operating system you use; and, if you are logged in to NaijaCrowd, your User ID.
  • Sometimes we get data from our advertising partners, customers and other third parties that helps us (or them) deliver ads, understand online activity, and generally make NaijaCrowdbetter. For example, an advertiser may tell us information about you (like how you responded to an ad on NaijaCrowdor on another site) in order to measure the effectiveness of – and improve the quality of – ads.

We also put together data from the information we already have about you and your friends. For example, we may put together data about you to determine which friends we should show you in your News Feed or suggest you tag in the photos you post. We may put together your current city with GPS and other location information we have about you to, for example, tell you and your friends about people or events nearby, or offer deals to you that you might be interested in. We may also put together data about you to serve you ads that might be more relevant to you.

When we get your GPS location, we put it together with other location information we have about you (like your current city). But we only keep it until it is no longer useful to provide you services, like keeping your last GPS coordinates to send you relevant notifications.
