Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 25, 2026
This page is maintained by natives.africa to answer common privacy questions about the site. It describes the data practices and controls you can use today. If you need legal advice, please contact a qualified professional.
1. Information we collect
We collect the information you choose to give us — such as your name, email address, and payment details when you donate, subscribe to the newsletter, or buy merch. We also collect some information automatically, like your IP address, browser type, and pages you visit, to help the site work and to understand how readers use it.
2. How we use your information
We use your information to deliver stories, process orders, respond to messages, send newsletters (only if you signed up), and improve the site. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
3. Cookies and analytics
The site uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, keep your cart working, and measure how readers engage with stories. We may use analytics services that place their own cookies; those services are governed by their own privacy policies. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.
4. Sharing your information
We share information only with service providers who help us run the site, such as payment processors, email delivery services, and analytics platforms. We may also share information when required by law or to protect our rights and users.
5. Data retention
We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Contact us if you want your data deleted.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information. You can also object to certain processing or request a copy of your data in a portable format.
7. Children’s privacy
The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us and we will delete it.
8. Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and access controls for our team. No online service is completely secure, so we encourage you to use strong passwords and keep your devices secure.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
