How the All Nigerian Newspapers app handles information and protects your privacy.
Last updated: 18 July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how the All Nigerian Newspapers app ("the app"), published by Topweb Technologies Ltd ("we", "us", "our"), handles information. All Nigerian Newspapers is a free news aggregator that gathers publicly available headlines from Nigerian newspapers and links to their original websites. We take your privacy seriously and have designed the app to work with as little personal information as possible. By downloading or using the app, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you have not installed it yet, you can download All Nigerian Newspapers free on Google Play and review this policy at any time.
Our guiding principle is data minimisation: we collect only what is genuinely needed to make the app work well and to improve it over time. All Nigerian Newspapers does not require you to create an account to read the news, and it is not designed to build a detailed profile of you. Because the app is fundamentally a doorway to publishers' own websites, much of your actual reading happens on those third-party sites, which operate under their own privacy policies.
This policy is written to be as clear and readable as possible, because we think you deserve to understand how a news app you use every day handles information. It covers what the app may process, how and why it is used, who it may be shared with, how long it is kept, the choices and rights available to you, and how to reach us with any questions. If anything here is unclear, we're happy to explain — just get in touch using the details at the end.
The app may process a limited set of information, described below. Device and app information: basic technical details needed for the app to function correctly and to be compatible with your device, such as app version and general device type. Your preferences: the settings you choose in the app — including selected topics or categories, your chosen state, notification preferences, dark mode and text size — so that your experience is personalised and remembered between sessions. These preferences are used to operate the app's features. Diagnostic and usage data: anonymous, aggregated information about how the app is performing and being used, which helps us find and fix problems, understand which features are valuable, and improve the app.
Any information processed is used to: provide and operate the app's core features; remember your preferences and personalise your feed; deliver the optional breaking-news notifications you have chosen; keep the app stable, secure and compatible; understand general usage trends so we can improve the experience; and comply with legal obligations where applicable. We do not use your information to sell you products unrelated to the app, and we do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Breaking-news notifications are entirely optional. They are only sent if you enable them and choose the topics that trigger them. To deliver notifications, the app may use standard mobile push-notification services. You can change your notification topics, reduce them, or turn notifications off completely at any time — both within the app's Settings and through your device's system notification controls. Disabling notifications does not affect your ability to read the news in the app.
When you tap a headline to read a full article, you leave the app and are taken to the publisher's own website. Those third-party sites are independent of us and have their own privacy policies, cookies and data practices, which we do not control and are not responsible for. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any publisher whose website you visit. The same applies to any other external links the app may contain.
To keep the app free for everyone, All Nigerian Newspapers may display advertising. Where third-party advertising or analytics services are used, those services may process limited information in accordance with their own policies, and any such processing is intended to be consistent with Google Play's requirements. Advertising helps fund the ongoing development and maintenance of the app while the underlying journalism remains with the original publishers.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information only in the following circumstances: with trusted service providers who help us operate the app (such as hosting, analytics or notification services), and only to the extent needed for them to provide their service; where required by law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request; and to protect the rights, property or safety of our users, the public or Topweb Technologies. Any service providers we use are expected to handle information responsibly and in line with applicable law.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information the app processes against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Downloading the app from the official Google Play Store, and keeping it updated, also helps keep your experience secure.
Preferences you set are stored to keep the app working the way you like, and remain until you change them, clear the app's data, or uninstall the app. Anonymous, aggregated diagnostic and usage data may be retained for as long as it is useful for improving the app. We do not keep personal information for longer than is necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
You are in control of your experience. You can manage notifications and reading preferences within the app's Settings, and you can manage app permissions (such as notifications) through your device's system settings. You can clear the app's stored data or uninstall the app at any time. Depending on your location, you may have additional rights regarding personal information under applicable data-protection laws; if you wish to exercise any such rights or have questions, please contact us using the details below.
All Nigerian Newspapers is a general-audience news app intended for people interested in Nigerian news. It is not directed at children under the age required by applicable law, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from such children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
The app can be used by readers in Nigeria and around the world, including members of the diaspora. If you use the app from outside Nigeria, you understand that information may be processed in accordance with this policy and applicable law. We aim to handle information consistently wherever our readers are located.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app, our practices, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the app after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy, so we encourage you to review it periodically.
If you'd like the short version: All Nigerian Newspapers is designed to respect your privacy. It doesn't require an account, it collects as little as possible, and it doesn't sell your personal information. It stores your preferences so the app works the way you like, and it may use anonymous, aggregated data to fix problems and improve. Optional notifications are fully under your control. When you open a full article, you go to the publisher's own website, which has its own privacy policy. That's the essence of this policy; the sections below fill in the detail.
The app itself is not a website and does not rely on browser cookies in the way a website does. However, when you tap through to a publisher's website to read a full article, that site may use cookies and similar technologies subject to its own policies. In addition, any third-party services integrated into the app, such as analytics or advertising, may use device identifiers or similar technologies to function; these are governed by the respective providers' policies and are intended to be consistent with Google Play requirements.
To understand how the app is used and to improve it, we may use analytics tools that collect anonymous, aggregated information — for example, which features are popular or where errors occur. This information helps us prioritise improvements and fix problems, and it is not used to identify you personally. Wherever possible, analytics data is kept in aggregate form.
Where applicable data-protection law requires a legal basis for processing, we rely on the following as relevant: your consent (for example, for optional notifications); our legitimate interests in operating, securing and improving the app in ways that do not override your rights; and compliance with legal obligations. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time, for instance by disabling notifications.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights in relation to personal information, which can include: the right to access the information we hold about you; the right to request correction of inaccurate information; the right to request deletion; the right to object to or restrict certain processing; and the right to data portability. Because the app is built to minimise personal data and does not require an account, in many cases we hold little or no information that identifies you individually. If you wish to make a request, contact us and we will respond in line with applicable law.
Because the app does not build advertising profiles based on your identity and works with minimal personal data, your privacy choices are primarily managed through the app's Settings and your device's system controls — for example, turning notifications on or off, and managing app permissions. You can also limit ad personalisation through your device's advertising settings where available.
The service providers we use to operate the app may process information in different locations. Where information is transferred across borders, we take steps intended to ensure it is handled consistently with this policy and with applicable law. By using the app, you understand that information may be processed in the locations where we and our service providers operate.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of the publishers whose articles the app links to, or of any other third parties. When you leave the app to read a full story or follow an external link, that third party's policies apply. We encourage you to read the privacy notices of any site you visit.
If you have any questions, concerns or requests about this Privacy Policy or how the app handles information, please get in touch through our Contact page or reach Topweb Technologies at topwebtechnologies.net. We take privacy questions seriously and will do our best to help. To experience the app for yourself, download All Nigerian Newspapers free on Google Play.
