We will not share your current location obtained in this manner with other Users.

We also use various Tracking Technologies (“Tracking Technologies”) to automatically collect information when you use the Moneyboom.com.ng website, including the following:

Cookies. When you visit our websites from other sites, your browser may automatically transmit information to these websites throughout the visit. In a similar way, when you use our mobile applications, we will access and use mobile device IDs to recognize your device. We use “cookies” and equivalent technologies to collect information through our Site and Apps. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that act as a unique tag to identify your browser.

Persistent cookies help with personalizing your experience, remembering your preferences, and supporting security features. Additionally, persistent cookies allow us to bring you advertising both on and off the Platform. Persistent cookies may remain on your device for extended periods of time, and generally may be controlled through your browser settings. We utilize persistent cookies that only Moneyboom.com.ng can read and use, and access mobile device IDs to:

  • save your login information for future logins to the Moneyboom.com.ng website;
  • assist in processing items during checkout;
  • hold session information; and
  • track user preferences.

Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate our website and expire when you close your browser. We utilize session ID cookies and similar technologies to:

  • enable certain features of the Moneyboom.com.ng website;
  • better understand how you interact with the Sites;
  • monitor usage by our Users and web traffic routing on the Moneyboom.com.ng website;
  • track the number of entries in Moneyboom.com.ng promotions; and
  • identify visited areas of the Moneyboom.com.ng website.

Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off from the Moneyboom.com.ng website and then close your browser.

We may work with third party advertisers who may also place or read persistent cookies on your browser, and we may use Flash cookies (or local shared objects) to store your preferences or display content based upon what you view on the Sites to personalize your visit.

You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you will not be able to use all portions or all functionalities of the Moneyboom.com.ng website.

Pixels. We and our Third Party Agents may also use “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs,” or similar means in connection with the Moneyboom.com.ng website and HTML-formatted email messages to, among other things, track the actions of Users and email recipients, determine the success of marketing campaigns, and compile statistics about Site usage and response rates.

Interest-Based Advertising. Ads are a standard part of user experience on the Internet, and we believe that targeted advertising enhances this experience. Moneyboom.com.ng and third party ad servers, such as Google via the Google Adsense program, may use cookies and other technologies to place ads where they believe interested Users will see them. In addition to banner ads, Moneyboom.com.ng may advertise products, companies and events that we think might interest you through the email address you provide. We may incorporate Tracking Technologies into our own Service (including our website and emails) as well as into our ads displayed on other websites and services. Some of these Tracking Technologies may track your activities across time and services for purposes of associating the different devices you use, and delivering relevant ads and/or other content to you (“Interest-Based Advertising”).

Moneyboom.com.ng uses information to offer services to Users who express an interest in these services, through a poll for example, or to Users who can be presumed to have an interest based on results from our Market Analysis. We do this as necessary for our legitimate interests in providing an engaging and relevant experience, promoting our services, and growing our business.

Phone Numbers. Moneyboom.com.ng may use your cell phone number to call or send recurring text messages to you, using an auto dialer or prerecorded voice, in order to provide you notifications about Services, for marketing purposes (with your consent where required by law), and to administer the Moneyboom.com.ng website.

6. Information Sharing

We only share the Information we collect about you as described in this Privacy Policy or as described at the time of collection or sharing, including as follows:

Third Party Agents. We share information, including Identity Information, with entities that process information on our behalf for our business purposes. Third Party Agents assist us with services such as payment processing, data analytics, marketing and advertising, website hosting, fraud prevention and detection, communication services, and technical support. We contractually prohibit our Third Party Agents from retaining, using, or disclosing information about you for any purposes other than performing the services for us, although we may permit them to use information that does not identify you (including information that has been aggregated or de-identified) for any purpose except as prohibited by applicable law.

To operate the Moneyboom.com.ng website, including processing your transactions, we may share your information with our agents, representatives, vendors and service providers (“Third Party Agents”) so they can provide us with support services as follows:

  • Email origination;
  • Identity checks and criminal background checks, to the extent permitted by applicable law;
  • Fraud detection;
  • Receipt, invoice, or support services;
  • Customer relationship management services; and
  • To otherwise help us provide the Moneyboom.com.ng website .

Legal Obligations. Moneyboom.com.ng and our Third Party Agents and affiliates may disclose information or User Generated Content, including location data or communication data, to a third party if required or permitted to do so by law or pursuant to a court order, warrant or subpoena. Moneyboom.com.ng  reserves the right to disclose Personal Information from both private and public areas of the Site(s) in the absence of a court order, warrant or subpoena, to the extent permitted by applicable law, if we are given reason to believe, in our sole discretion, that someone is causing injury to or interfering with the rights of Users, the general public, or Moneyboom.com.ng or its partners, parents or affiliates.

It is our policy to provide notice to Users before producing their information in response to law enforcement requests unless (i) we are prohibited or otherwise constrained by law or court order from doing so, (ii) we have reason to believe the User’s account has been compromised such that the notice would go to the wrong person, or notice would otherwise be counterproductive or would create a risk to safety, or (iii) it is an emergency request and prior notice would be impractical (in which case we may provide notice after the fact).

Merger or Acquisition. Moneyboom.com.ng reserves the right to share information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any proposed or actual merger, purchase, sale, or any other type of acquisition or business combination of all or any portion of our assets, or transfer of all or a portion of our business to another business.

Public Areas. Your profile on the Moneyboom.com.ng website consists of information about you and your business, and may include information such as photographs, expertise, feedback/rating information, and other information, including your username (“Profile”). The information in your User Profile may be visible to all Users and the general public.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You may opt-out of receiving promotional communications from us and our Partners, remove your information from our database, choose to not receive future promotional communications related to the Moneyboom.com.ng website, or cancel your account by contacting us.

Promotional Communications. You can opt out of receiving promotional communications from Moneyboom.com.ng sent via email by clicking on the unsubscribe link in any message. You can opt out of receiving promotional communications from Moneyboom.com.ng sent via text message at any time by following the instructions provided in those messages to text the word “STOP”. Please note that your opt-out is limited to the phone number used and will not affect subsequent subscriptions. If you opt-out of only certain communications, other subscription communications may continue. Even if you opt-out of receiving promotional communications, Moneyboom.com.ng may continue to send you non-promotional communications, such as those about your account, transactions, services, or Moneyboom.com.ng’s ongoing business relationship with you. If you receive an unsolicited email from a Moneyboom.com.ng domain, please let us know.

Cookies and Pixels. Most browsers accept cookies by default. You can instruct your browser, by changing its settings, to decline or delete cookies. If you use multiple browsers on your device, you will need to instruct each browser separately. Your ability to limit cookies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.

Do Not Track. Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no industry consensus as to what site and app operations should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, unless and until the law is interpreted to require us to do so, we do not monitor or take action with respect to “Do Not Track” signals.

App and Location Technologies. You can stop all collection of information via an app by uninstalling the app. You can also reset your device Ad Id at any time through your device settings, which is designed to allow you to limit the use of information collected about you. If you do not want us to use your location anymore for the purposes set forth above, you should turn off the location services for the mobile application located in your device’s account settings, your mobile phone settings, and/or within the mobile application.

8. Information Retention Policy

We retain personal data for as long as you are a User in order to meet our contractual obligations to you, and for such a longer period as may be in our legitimate interests and to comply with our legal obligations. We may also retain data from which you cannot directly be identified, for example where stored against a randomly-generated identifier so we know the data relates to a single User, but we cannot tell who that User is. We use this kind of data for research purposes and to help us develop and improve our services, and we take appropriate measures to ensure you cannot be re-identified from this data.

9. Notification of Changes

Moneyboom.com.ng’s Privacy Policy is periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary. This Privacy Policy might change as Moneyboom.com.ng updates and expands the Sites. Moneyboom.com.ng will endeavor to notify you of any material changes by email. We also encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
