Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Hausa Daily News collects when you visit this website, how it is used, and the choices available to you.

Last updated: 27 September 2026.

Who we are

Hausa Daily News is an independent publisher of background explainers about northern Nigeria. Our website address is https://hausadailynews.com.

For any question about this policy, or to exercise any of the rights set out below, contact [email protected].

Information you give us. If you email us — to report a correction, ask a question or make a complaint — we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in the message. We use it to reply, and we do not add you to any mailing list.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider and our analytics and advertising partners record technical information when you visit:

your IP address
the type and version of your browser and operating system
the device you are using
the pages you view, and when
the site or search that referred you

We do not ask for or store names, postal addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, identity numbers or payment details. We do not have user accounts and there is nothing on this site to log into.

Cookies and similar technologies

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by a website. Some cookies are placed by us; most are placed by third parties.

Our full Cookie Policy sets out the detail. In summary, cookies on this site are used to keep the site working, to understand which articles people read, and to serve advertising.

Advertising

This site carries advertising, which is how it is funded.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.

Google's own practices are described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Other advertising vendors

Third-party ad networks and exchanges other than Google may also serve advertising on this site. These vendors may use cookies, web beacons or similar technologies to collect information about your visits in order to measure and serve advertising. We do not control these technologies and they are governed by the vendors' own privacy policies.

You can opt out of many vendors at once through the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance, and, in Europe, Your Online Choices.

Analytics

We may use analytics services to understand how the site is used in aggregate — which articles are read, how people arrive, and where they leave. This tells us what to write next. It is not used to identify individual readers.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

How long we keep information

Emails you send us are retained for as long as needed to deal with the matter, and then deleted. Server and analytics logs are retained according to our providers' standard retention periods. We do not maintain a separate database of readers.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone except:

our hosting, analytics and advertising providers, in order to operate the site;
where we are required to by law.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to or restrict its processing.

Because we do not operate user accounts, we generally hold nothing that identifies you personally beyond any email you have sent us. To make a request, write to [email protected].

If you are in Nigeria, the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 applies, and the Nigeria Data Protection Commission is the supervisory authority. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the GDPR or UK GDPR applies and you may complain to your national supervisory authority.
