Privacy Policy

Last updated: 27 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Premier World News (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit premierworldnews.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. We handle personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.

Who we are

Premier World News is published by Premier World & Westo Communications Ltd., Nigeria. For any privacy question or request, email premierworldnewscentre@gmail.com or call 0813 833 7237.

Information we collect

  • Contact form and emails. When you contact us, we receive your name, email address and message. We use them only to reply to you and to handle your enquiry, news tip or correction request.
  • Comments. If you comment on a story, we store your name, email address, comment, IP address and browser details. Comments may be checked by Akismet, an automated spam-detection service. An anonymised string from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to show your profile picture.
  • Technical data. Like most websites, our servers and security tools record basic technical information such as IP address, browser type and pages visited. We use this to keep the site secure and working, and to block abuse.

Advertising and cookies

We show advertisements through Google AdSense to fund our journalism. Google and its partners are third-party vendors that use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites.

  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
  • Learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

We also use a small number of cookies that the site needs to work, for example to remember your details if you choose to when commenting, or to keep editors logged in. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, but ads may be less relevant to you.

Embedded content and sharing

Stories may include embedded content such as videos or social media posts. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website, which may collect data about you under its own privacy policy. Our share buttons are simple links; they do not track you until you choose to open WhatsApp, Facebook, X or Telegram.

Who we share data with

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with service providers that help us run the site (web hosting, security and spam protection, and Google for advertising), or where the law requires it.

How long we keep data

Comments and their details are kept for as long as the comment is published. Messages sent to us are kept only as long as needed to deal with them. Technical and security logs are kept for a limited period.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. Contact us using the details above and we will respond as required by law. You may also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.

Children

This site is intended for a general adult audience and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
