This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices on the Afropolis website.

The Afropolis website does not automatically gather any specific personal information from you, such as your name, phone number or e-mail address. We would only obtain this type of information if you supply it by sending us e-mail, subscribing to our newsletters or registering in a secure portion of the site.
 

All personal information created, held or collected by us is protected under The 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).

Afropolis employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. This software receives and records the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer that has contacted our website, the date and time of the visit and the pages visited. We make no attempt to link these addresses with the identity of individuals visiting our site unless an attempt to damage the site has been detected.
