Privacy Policy
Effective date: [Insert Date] · Last updated: [Insert Date]
This Privacy Policy explains how INTKONET collects, uses, stores, shares, protects and otherwise processes information through its application, website, software, APIs and related Services.
This page is a product-policy draft, not a finalized legal document or legal advice. It should be reviewed by qualified Nigerian counsel before publication, with bracketed placeholders completed to match INTKONET's actual data flows, age policy, company structure, payment model, moderation operations and third-party providers. The structure is designed with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and FCCPC consumer-protection guidance in mind.
1. Information You Provide
Depending on features used, we may collect name, username, email, phone number, date of birth, profile photo, biography, interests, preferences, business information, organization information, event information, verification information and support communications.
2. Location Information
Because INTKONET is location-based, we may process precise or approximate device location, GPS coordinates, check-in locations, places you choose to share, temporary live location, location preferences, event locations and location history where a feature is expressly enabled. You control many permissions through device and platform settings.
3. Location Uses
Location may be used for map discovery, nearby people/places/businesses/events, check-ins, recommendations, temporary sharing, map operation, Presence Aura, safety/security and features you request. Location may be delayed or inaccurate.
4. Presence Aura™
Presence Aura may use aggregated or otherwise processed activity signals to estimate general activity or atmosphere around places. It is not intended to identify an individual or disclose an individual's exact feelings, identity or movements.
5. User Content
Photos, videos, text, comments, reviews, messages, profiles, event content, business content, check-ins and other content may be processed to provide the features you choose. Public content may be visible to other users or more broadly depending on settings.
6. Messages
Messaging data may be processed to deliver communications, maintain functionality, detect spam and abuse, investigate reports, protect users and enforce policies. Where permitted, automated systems and authorized reviewers may process communications for these purposes.
7. Device and Technical Data
We may collect device model, operating system, app version, browser, language, time zone, IP address, identifiers, network information, crash reports, diagnostic data and performance information for operation, security and improvement.
8. Usage Information
We may process searches, features used, places or profiles viewed, events discovered or joined, business interactions, content interactions, preferences and technical events to provide and improve the Services.
9. Purposes
Purposes may include account management, service delivery, location functionality, personalization, recommendations, communication, events and business services, payments, support, fraud prevention, security, moderation, analytics, product development and legal compliance.
10. Legal Bases
Where applicable law requires a lawful basis, processing may rely on consent, contract performance, legal obligation, vital interests or legitimate interests where permitted. Consent may be withdrawn where applicable, without necessarily affecting prior lawful processing.
12. Privacy Controls
Features may allow control over location visibility, precise versus approximate location, temporary sharing, map appearance, profile visibility, messaging, blocked accounts, content visibility, recommendations and advertising preferences.
14. Advertising
If INTKONET offers advertising, information may be processed to display ads, measure performance, prevent fraud and provide relevant promotional experiences where lawful. Advertisers do not receive unrestricted access to the user database.
15. Payments
Payments may be processed by app stores or payment processors. INTKONET may receive transaction information needed to confirm and manage purchases. Full card details may be handled directly by payment providers rather than INTKONET.
16. Business and Event Data
Business and event operators may submit names, locations, contact details, categories, hours, descriptions, event details and promotional materials. Some information may be public.
17. Verification
Verification may require identity, business or authority information. Verification information will be protected according to applicable privacy and security requirements.
18. Retention
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for service, security, legal, dispute, fraud-prevention and enforcement purposes. Different data types may have different periods.
19. Deletion
Users may request account deletion. We will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize eligible data, subject to legal, security, fraud, dispute and backup exceptions.
20. International Transfers
Information may be processed in countries other than where you live. Where required, appropriate legal safeguards will be used.
21. Security
We use reasonable technical, organizational and administrative safeguards appropriate to risk. No online system can guarantee absolute security.
22. Children
INTKONET's minimum age will be stated in the final service design. We will not knowingly process children's data contrary to applicable law. Parents/guardians may contact us regarding suspected improper collection.
23. Privacy Rights
Depending on applicable law, users may have rights to information, access, rectification, objection, restriction, portability, erasure and withdrawal of consent. Requests may require identity verification and lawful exceptions may apply.
24. Requests
Privacy requests should be sent to [Privacy Email]. We will respond within applicable legal timeframes. Users may retain any right to complain to a competent data-protection authority.
25. Third Parties
Third-party services have their own policies. INTKONET is not responsible for independent third-party practices outside its control.
26. Changes
We may update this Policy for legal, technical, business or security changes. Material changes will receive appropriate notice where required.
