1.1 Consent to processing and publicity

By participating on the Yangabid platform, participants expressly agree that the personal data they supply may be processed by the Organizer for the purpose of operating the game and for the purpose of publicizing the game and the Organizer.

• the location of their place of residence; and
• their images and voices, as contained in photographic, audio, video and other records made for publicity purposes connected to the promotion.

By participating in the game, winning participants give their express consent to the use of the data described above. Following the conclusion of the promotion, the personal data collected for that promotion will be destroyed.

5. How long we keep it

Account and transaction records are kept for as long as your account is active, and afterwards for the period required by Nigerian financial and tax record keeping rules.

6. Confidentiality and security of personal data

In accordance with Nigerian laws and regulations, the Organizer respects the privacy of participants and is committed to using technology transparently and in strict observance of the rights, freedoms and guarantees of citizens, including the protection of the privacy of their personal and family life.

Personal data collected within the scope of this promotion will be treated as private and confidential. It shall not be disclosed to any other individual or organization, except where disclosure is required by law or expressly authorized by the participant. The data will be stored on servers to which access is controlled on a need to know basis and restricted by passwords.

7. Your rights and account deletion

You can ask us to show you the personal data we hold about you, correct anything that is wrong, or delete your account and the data attached to it. Send the request from the email address on your account to info@yangabid.com with the subject line "Data request". We respond within thirty days.

Where we are required to keep transaction records for legal or tax reasons, those specific records are retained even after your account is deleted.

8. Age restriction

Yangabid is strictly for people who are eighteen years of age and above. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone below that age. If we learn that an account belongs to a minor, the account is closed and the data attached to it is deleted.

9.3 Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the product changes. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised, and continued use of the service after a change means you accept the updated policy.
