Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how NigerianMatchday (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit nigerianmatchday.com. By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Last updated: 16 May 2026
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://nigerianmatchday.com
NigerianMatchday is Nigeria’s leading football and sports betting information hub, providing NPFL news, match previews, betting tips, and bookmaker guides for Nigerian sports fans and bettors. We are an independent editorial site and do not operate a bookmaker or accept bets ourselves.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Contact Forms
If you contact us via our contact form or by email, we collect your name and email address so we can respond to your enquiry. This data is not shared with third parties and is retained only as long as necessary to resolve your enquiry.
Comments
If you leave a comment on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form — your name, email address, and the content of your comment — along with your IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection. Your profile picture may be shown via the Gravatar service; their privacy policy is available at automattic.com/privacy.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics collects anonymised information including your approximate location, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This data does not identify you personally. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to improve your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use:
- Essential cookies — required for the site to function (e.g. session management).
- Analytics cookies — Google Analytics cookies to understand site usage (anonymised).
- Preference cookies — to remember your settings and preferences.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.
Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include embedded content from third-party services (e.g. YouTube videos, Twitter/X posts). Embedded content behaves as if you had visited those websites directly and may collect data, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with that content.
Affiliate Disclosure
NigerianMatchday participates in affiliate marketing programmes. This means we may earn a commission if you click a link to a bookmaker or betting site and subsequently register or deposit. This does not affect the price you pay or our editorial independence — we only recommend bookmakers we consider reputable and suitable for Nigerian bettors. All affiliate relationships are disclosed where relevant.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can manage follow-up comments. Contact enquiry data is deleted once your request is resolved. Analytics data is retained in line with Google Analytics’ standard retention settings (26 months by default).
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with:
- Google Analytics — for anonymised website analytics.
- Gravatar / Automattic — for comment profile pictures (if applicable).
- Affiliate networks — when you click an affiliate link, the destination site may receive referral data (your IP, browser) as standard web traffic. This is not personal data we actively share.
Your Rights
Under applicable data protection law, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion of your data (subject to legal obligations).
- Object to or restrict certain processing of your data.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at admin@nigerianmatchday.com.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. Our website uses HTTPS encryption for all data transmission. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Links to Other Websites
Our site contains links to external websites, including bookmakers, sporting bodies, and news sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their privacy policies.
Responsible Gambling
NigerianMatchday is committed to promoting responsible gambling. All betting content on this site is for adults aged 18 and over. If you have concerns about your gambling, please contact the NLRC helpline or visit BeGambleAware.org or GamblingTherapy.org.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
