Privacy Policy

Applies to Af' Oghi Lineage · Governed by Nigeria's Data Protection Act (NDPA) / NDPR.

1. Who we are

Af' Oghi Lineage is a private genealogy platform for members of our family/village to record and explore our shared lineage. For data-protection questions, contact the family administrator at jasonrodah@gmail.com.

2. Information we collect

  • Account data: name, email, phone, username, password (stored only as a secure hash).
  • Family-tree data: names, dates of birth/death, gender, photos, biography, occupation, qualifications, clan and relationships of family members.
  • Technical data: session cookies and, in security logs, your IP address and actions.

3. Lawful basis & consent

We process your account data on the basis of your consent, given when you register, and our legitimate interest in maintaining an accurate family record. You may withdraw consent at any time by deleting your account.

4. How we use your data

To operate the family tree, verify membership, show profiles to other approved members (subject to your privacy settings), send account and notification emails, and keep the platform secure.

5. Visibility & sharing

Your profile is visible only to approved, signed-in members. You control whether your date of birth, occupation, biography and email are shown to others via Profile → Privacy. We do not sell your data or share it with third parties except infrastructure providers (hosting and image storage) acting on our behalf.

6. Data retention

Account data is kept while your account is active. On deletion we remove your personal and contact details. Family-history entries you contributed may be retained as part of the shared record but are no longer linked to you. Expired security tokens and stale logs are periodically purged.

7. Your rights

  • Access & portability: download a copy of your data from Profile → Privacy → Download my data.
  • Rectification: correct your details, or request a correction to a family record.
  • Erasure: delete your account from Profile → Privacy.
  • Objection/removal: if you are listed in the tree and object, contact the administrator to request removal.

8. Children

Profiles of minors should only be added by a parent or guardian, who consents on the child's behalf. Contact the administrator to remove or restrict a minor's profile.

9. Cookies

We use a single essential session cookie to keep you signed in. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

10. Changes

We may update this policy; material changes will be notified in-app. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance.
