PRIVACY

Your data,
protected.

How AKEWE Media Nigeria Limited collects, uses, shares and safeguards your personal data on the Akewe video platform — written to align with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and the NDPR.

Effective 18 May 2026 NDPA / NDPR compliant

This Privacy Policy explains, in plain terms, what personal data we collect about you when you use the Akewe video platform, why we collect it, how we protect it, who we share it with, and the rights you hold over it under Nigerian data protection law. Please read it alongside our Terms of Service and our Cookie Policy.

1.1 Who We Are & Our Role

The Akewe video platform at akewe.com and its related applications and services (together, the “Platform”) are operated by AKEWE MEDIA NIGERIA LIMITED (RC-1681767), a company incorporated in the Federal Republic of Nigeria (“Akewe”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

For the purposes of the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (the “NDPA”) and the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (the “NDPR”), AKEWE MEDIA NIGERIA LIMITED is the data controller responsible for the personal data described in this Policy — meaning we determine the purposes and means of processing that data. Where we engage other organisations to process data on our behalf, those organisations act as our data processors under written instructions.

Data controller: AKEWE MEDIA NIGERIA LIMITED (RC-1681767), Federal Republic of Nigeria.

1.2 Scope of This Policy

This Policy applies to all personal data we process about visitors, registered users, creators, channel team members and advertisers in connection with the Platform. It covers our websites, mobile and connected-device experiences, creator tools, and any communications you have with us.

This Policy does not cover third-party websites, services or content that may be linked from the Platform. Those third parties operate under their own privacy practices, and we encourage you to review them.

1.3 Key Definitions

To help you read this Policy, we use the following terms with the meanings given to them under the NDPA and NDPR:

  • Personal data — any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (a data subject), such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to that person.
  • Processing — any operation performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, including collection, recording, storage, use, disclosure, transfer and erasure.
  • Data subject — the individual to whom personal data relates. If you use the Platform, you are a data subject.
  • Data controller — the person or organisation that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. For the Platform, this is AKEWE MEDIA NIGERIA LIMITED.
  • Data processor — a person or organisation that processes personal data on behalf of, and under the instructions of, a data controller.

1.4 Effective Date & Changes

This Policy is effective from, and was last updated on, 18 May 2026. We may update it from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, legal requirements or business practices.

When we make changes, we will revise the “last updated” date above. Where the changes are significant — for example, where we begin processing personal data for a new purpose — we will provide a more prominent notice, such as an in-app message or a notification within your account, before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Platform after an update means you have read the revised Policy.
