Privacy policy

This policy explains what information sendmoneytonigeria (sendmoneytonigeria.site) collects when you use the site, why, how long we keep it and the choices you have. We keep it short because we collect very little.

Who we are

sendmoneytonigeria is an independent comparison site for sending money to Nigeria. We are responsible for the personal data described in this policy. Contact us about privacy at [email protected].

What we do not collect

• You do not create an account on our site, and we never ask for your name, address or ID.
• We never handle your money or payment details. When you send money, you do it on the provider's own website or app, under that provider's privacy policy.
• We do not sell personal data or use it for advertising.

What we collect and why

1. Clicks to providers

When you click a button that takes you to a provider (links starting with /go/), we record:

• which provider, page and country route you came from, and the button position
• your browser's user agent (browser and device type)
• a one-way hash of your IP address, so we can count unique clicks. We never store the IP address itself, and the hash cannot be turned back into it.

We use this to see which pages and providers are useful and to reconcile commissions with providers. Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in running and funding the site. Click records are deleted automatically after 90 days.

The provider's link may include a reference code showing the click came from us. The provider then handles your data under its own policy.

2. Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used: pages viewed, how you arrived, approximate location (country or city), device type, and actions such as using the calculator or clicking a provider. Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses for visitors in the UK and EU.

Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used. Analytics is never used for advertising. You can block it with your browser's privacy settings or an extension such as Google's Analytics opt-out add-on.

Google acts as our data processor. Its handling of data is described in Google's privacy policy. Analytics data is kept for 14 months.

3. Emails you send us

If you email us, we use your email address and message only to reply, and we delete the conversation when it is no longer needed.

4. Server logs

Like any website, our hosting keeps short-lived technical logs (such as requests and errors) to keep the site secure and working. These are kept for a limited period and not used to identify visitors.

Cookies and similar storage

Our staff admin area uses its own sign-in cookies. These are never set for visitors.

Who receives data

• Google, for analytics.
• Our hosting provider, which stores the site and its database.
• Money transfer providers, but only what you give them after you leave our site.

Some of these services may process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where that happens, they rely on recognised safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under the UK GDPR, the EU GDPR and the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, you can:

• ask what personal data we hold about you and get a copy
• ask us to correct or delete it
• object to processing based on our legitimate interests
• complain to a data protection authority, such as the ICO (UK), the Data Protection Commission (Ireland), your local EU authority, or the Nigeria Data Protection Commission

Because we only store a hash of your IP address, we usually cannot link click records to you. If you contact us, we will explain what we can find and act on your request within one month.

Children

The site is meant for adults sending money. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes

If we change how we use data, we will update this page and the date at the top. Significant changes will be highlighted on the site.
