Privacy Policy
Naija Palava · naijapalava.com · Last updated: 29 October 2026 · Written to follow the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA)
Naija Palava is a free, satirical, 18+ game that runs in your browser and as an Android app. This page tells you, in plain words, what we collect, why, where it is kept, who sees it, how long we keep it, and what you can do.
1. Who is responsible for your data
Data controller: [LEGAL NAME OR BUSINESS NAME], operating as Naija Palava.
Address: [ADDRESS]
Privacy contact (questions, requests, complaints): [CONTACT EMAIL]
2. What we collect, why, and our legal basis
| Data | Why | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Email address (only if you tap "Save progress") | To store your game so you can continue on another phone | Your consent |
| Game progress (cash, city, day, jobs, items) | To save and restore your game | Your consent (cloud copy); stays on your phone otherwise |
| Email for game updates (only if you tick the box) | To send news about new cities, songs and hustles | Your consent. Unsubscribe any time |
| Feedback (message, rating, city and day; email only if you type one) | To fix bugs and improve the game | Your consent |
| Anonymous usage (random visitor ID, device type touch or desktop, game events such as city reached or job finished, approximate game state) | To count players, find bugs and see where people get stuck | Our legitimate interest in running and improving the game; it does not use your name or email |
We do not ask for your name, phone number, location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone. We do not use your data for automated decisions about you.
3. What we do not do
- We do not sell your data.
- We do not show third-party ads or share data with advertisers.
- We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. The game is for adults only.
4. Who handles your data for us
Service providers act only on our instructions: Cloudflare (hosting the website), Supabase (stores saved games, emails and feedback), and PostHog (anonymous usage analytics). Your data is stored on their servers, which may be outside Nigeria (for example in the United States or Europe). When data leaves Nigeria we rely on the NDPA safeguards: the providers' contractual data protection terms and security controls, and we send only what is needed.
5. How long we keep it
Saved games and emails: until you ask us to delete them, or 24 months after your last save, whichever comes first. Feedback: up to 24 months. Anonymous usage data: up to 24 months. We then delete or anonymise it.
6. How we protect it
Data is sent over encrypted connections (https), stored with access controls, and only the Naija Palava team can read it. No system is perfect. If a breach puts your rights at risk, we will tell you and the Nigeria Data Protection Commission within the time the law requires (72 hours for the Commission).
7. Your rights under the NDPA
- Know what we hold about you and get a copy
- Correct wrong data
- Delete your data
- Restrict or object to how we use it, including to updates by email
- Take your data in a usable form (portability)
- Withdraw consent at any time (this does not affect what we did before)
- Complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (ndpc.gov.ng) if you are not happy with how we handled your request
To use any right, or to delete your data: email [CONTACT EMAIL] from the email you used in the game, with the subject "My Naija Palava data" and what you want. You can also message @naijapalavagame on X, TikTok, Instagram or Facebook. We answer within 30 days. Data that is only on your phone: clear site data for naijapalava.com or uninstall the app.
8. Cookies and storage
We use your browser's local storage to keep your game, settings and age confirmation on your phone, and a random visitor ID for anonymous counts. We do not use advertising cookies.
9. Children
Naija Palava is not for children. If you think a child has given us an email, tell us and we will delete it.
10. Satire notice
All characters, parties, companies and events are fictional satire. It is not a guide to crime.
11. Changes
If this policy changes we update the date at the top. Back to the game · About
