Section 15

Data Use & Platform Safety

Automatically Collected Information

General location (such as city or area level) is used to provide relevant local content and recommendations. We do not collect precise GPS location unless you explicitly grant permission. You can control or disable location access through your device settings at any time.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Operate and maintain NaijaWetinDey
  • Display relevant local content and discovery results
  • Improve and optimise our Services continuously
  • Communicate with users about updates or support requests
  • Prevent abuse, fraud, and misuse of the platform

Content you post (such as events, places, or updates) may be visible to other users and may be interacted with (viewed, shared, or reported).

We do not sell personal user data. Your privacy is fundamental to how we operate.

Platform Safety & Moderation

We may use collected data to detect, prevent, and address abusive, harmful, or illegal activity on the platform. This includes reviewing reported content and enforcing our community guidelines.

For more information, refer to our Child Safety Policy and Privacy Policy.

Section 16

NWD Kudos

NWD Kudos are points you earn for taking part on NaijaWetinDey. You can use them for rewards we offer in the app.

Kudos are not money

Kudos are points, not cash. You cannot withdraw them, turn them into money, send them to another person, or sell them. They only work inside NaijaWetinDey.

How you earn them

We decide which actions earn Kudos and how many. The app always shows the current list, and we may change it.

New Kudos show as pending for a short while, then become available to use. Pending Kudos are already yours. The short wait lets us take a reward back cleanly if whatever earned it is deleted or undone.

When we can take Kudos back

We can remove Kudos, or pause your balance, if:

  • They were given by mistake, or twice for the same thing
  • What earned them was deleted, undone, or never really happened
  • Someone tries to cheat the system, for example with fake accounts or made-up activity
  • These Terms are broken, or the account is suspended or closed

Your Kudos history lists every change with the reason and the date. If something looks wrong, contact us and tell us the date of the entry.

Expiry and changes

Kudos do not expire. If we ever change that, we will tell you in the app before it happens. We may also change or stop the Kudos programme, and there may be times when you cannot spend Kudos, for example while the programme is paused.

If your account closes

Kudos belong to your account. If the account is closed or suspended, the Kudos go with it.

Section 17

Subscriptions & Payments

Some features are paid. Before you pay, we show you the price and what is included.

Paying

Plans are priced in Naira and run for a set time, either monthly or yearly. You pay for the whole period up front. A payment company handles the payment for us, and we do not keep your card details. If we change our prices later, the price you already paid for the current period does not change.

It does not renew by itself

We never charge you automatically. There is no saved card. When your period ends, you choose whether to pay again. If you do not, the paid features simply stop. Your account and everything you have posted stay as they are.

Cancelling

You can cancel at any time. Cancelling means you will not be asked to pay again. You keep the paid features until the end of the period you have already paid for, and the app shows you that date.

Refunds

We do not normally give refunds, including when only part of a period has been used. If something went wrong on our side, such as being charged twice, contact us and we will put it right. Your rights under Nigerian consumer law still apply. If we do refund you, the paid features stop.

Changes to plans

We may add, change or remove plans. If a change would take away something important from a plan you are already paying for, we will tell you before it affects you.

Other things you pay for

Promotions, event tickets and marketplace orders are one-off purchases, not part of a subscription. When a business is the seller, that business is responsible for giving you what you paid for.

If a payment fails

If a payment fails or is reversed, we may stop the features it paid for. If you think you were charged wrongly, contact us with the payment reference on your receipt.

Section 18
