Last Updated: October 22, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Page5 ("we," "our," "us," or "the Website").

Page5 is an independent information and educational content platform operated from Nigeria and serving readers worldwide. We publish original and informative content covering employment opportunities, international recruitment, scholarships, education, technology, business, reviews, sports, practical tutorials, and other topics relevant to our global audience.

We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information responsibly, transparently, and securely. This Privacy Policy explains how we may collect, use, store, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website, create an account, subscribe to our newsletter, contact us, or interact with our content and services.

This policy is intended to explain our privacy practices in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, where applicable, and relevant privacy requirements in other jurisdictions in which we operate or serve users.

By using Page5, you acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to read this Privacy Policy. Where applicable law requires consent for a particular processing activity, we will seek that consent separately rather than relying solely on your use of the website.

2. Information We May Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with Page5 and which website features are enabled.

2.1 Personal Information You Provide

You may voluntarily provide personal information when you:

• Register for a Page5 account.

• Submit a message through our Contact Us page.

• Send feedback, corrections, questions, or other inquiries.

• Participate in comments, reviews, or other interactive features, if available.

Depending on the feature, this information may include your name, email address, username, account credentials, and the content of your messages or submissions.

Please do not send passwords, payment card details, government identification numbers, or other sensitive information through ordinary contact forms or email unless a specific, secure process requires it.

2.2 Technical and Usage Information

When you visit Page5, certain technical information may be processed automatically by our hosting provider, server, security tools, analytics services, or other technologies used to operate the website.

Depending on the configuration of these services, this information may include:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address.

• Device type and operating system.

• Language and general regional settings.

• Pages visited and links accessed.

• Date, time, and duration of visits.

• Referring websites or pages.

• General interaction and website performance information.

• Error logs, security events, and diagnostic information.

We use this information, where appropriate, to maintain website functionality, understand usage patterns, improve performance, troubleshoot problems, and protect the website against abuse.

2.3 Cookies and Similar Technologies

Page5 and its service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, or similar technologies, depending on the features enabled on the website.

These technologies may help us maintain sessions, remember preferences, understand website traffic, measure performance, support security, and deliver or measure advertisements.

You can find further details in the Cookies and Advertising sections of this policy.

3. How We Use Information

We may use personal and technical information for the following purposes:

1. To create, maintain, authenticate, and administer user accounts.

2. To provide website features and respond to inquiries.

3. To deliver newsletters or other communications you have requested.

4. To publish, maintain, and improve our articles, educational resources, and other content.

5. To understand how visitors use the website and improve navigation, usability, and performance.

6. To monitor website reliability and diagnose technical problems.

7. To detect, prevent, and investigate spam, fraud, unauthorized access, and other harmful activities.

8. To operate, measure, and support advertising services, where enabled.

9. To comply with applicable legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

10. To protect the rights, safety, security, and legitimate interests of Page5, its users, and others.

11. To carry out other purposes explained to you when information is collected, where permitted by law.

We seek to use information only for specified and legitimate purposes and to limit collection to what is reasonably necessary for those purposes.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable data protection law requires a lawful basis for processing personal information, we may rely on one or more of the following, depending on the circumstances:

Consent: Where you have given valid consent to a specific activity, such as certain optional cookies, marketing communications, or personalized advertising where consent is required.

Contract or requested services: Where processing is necessary to provide an account, feature, or service you have requested, or to take steps at your request before providing a service.

Legal obligations: Where processing is necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or lawful requests.

Legitimate interests: Where processing is reasonably necessary for legitimate purposes, such as maintaining website security, preventing abuse, improving services, and administering the website, provided these interests do not override applicable rights and protections.

Other lawful grounds: Where another legal basis is available and applicable under the law governing the processing.

Where consent is the applicable basis, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not invalidate processing lawfully carried out before the withdrawal.

5. User Accounts and Registration

Page5 provides registration and login features.

If you create an account, we may process the information required to establish and manage that account, authenticate you, maintain account security, and provide relevant features.

We may also process technical logs associated with account access to help identify suspicious activity, protect against unauthorized use, and troubleshoot account-related issues.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for notifying us if you believe your account has been compromised.

We do not ask users to disclose their account passwords through ordinary email or contact forms.

Account information will be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain security, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce applicable terms. Where appropriate, you may request correction or deletion of your account information, subject to legal and operational limitations.

6. Newsletter and Email Communications

If you subscribe to the Page5 newsletter, we may collect your email address and any additional information you voluntarily provide.

We use this information to send newsletters, website updates, new content announcements, and other communications consistent with the purpose of your subscription.

You may unsubscribe from promotional or newsletter emails at any time by using the unsubscribe instructions provided in the message, where available, or by contacting us.

Unsubscribing from newsletters does not necessarily stop essential communications relating to an account, website security, or a matter you have specifically raised with us.

We will not knowingly use newsletter subscriptions as permission to send unrelated marketing communications where additional consent is required by law.

7. Contact Forms and User Communications

When you contact Page5, we may process your name, email address, message, attachments you choose to provide, and related correspondence.

We use this information to respond to your inquiry, investigate reported issues, consider corrections, address complaints, and improve our services.

We may retain correspondence for a reasonable period where necessary to resolve your inquiry, maintain appropriate records, protect against fraud or abuse, or comply with legal obligations.

Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless it is necessary and an appropriate secure channel has been provided.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies may collect or store information about your browser, preferences, or interactions.

Depending on which technologies Page5 uses, cookies may fall into the following categories:

Essential cookies: These may support core website functions such as login sessions, security, navigation, and other features necessary for the website to operate.

Preference cookies: These may remember choices or settings to make future visits more convenient.

Analytics and performance technologies: Where enabled, these may help us understand traffic, measure engagement, identify errors, and improve the website.

Advertising technologies: Where advertising services are enabled, these may help deliver advertisements, measure their performance, limit repeated displays, and support advertising-related functions.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain consent before placing or accessing non-essential cookies or using similar technologies for purposes that require consent.

You may also manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect the availability or functionality of some features.

The actual cookies and technologies in use may change as Page5 develops. This policy should be read alongside any cookie preference controls or additional notices provided on the website.

9. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

Page5 may display advertisements through Google AdSense or other advertising partners, where enabled.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve advertisements, measure advertising performance, prevent invalid activity, and support advertising functions.

Where enabled and permitted by the applicable settings and law, Google and its advertising partners may use information associated with a user's visits to this website and other websites to provide personalized advertisements.

Google's use of advertising cookies may enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on previous visits to Page5 or other websites.

For information about Google's advertising practices, please visit:

• Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

• Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com/

• How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

• Network Advertising Initiative opt-out resources: https://www.networkadvertising.org/

• Digital Advertising Alliance consumer opt-out resources: https://www.aboutads.info/

You can use Google's Ads Settings to manage personalized advertising where the available controls apply. You may also use relevant industry opt-out tools for participating advertising companies.

Opting out of personalized advertising does not necessarily eliminate all advertisements. You may continue to see contextual or non-personalized advertisements.

If other advertising vendors or ad networks are used on Page5, we will seek to identify them and provide links to their relevant privacy or opt-out information as appropriate.

Page5 does not control all third-party advertising technologies or the information practices of external advertising providers. Their services are subject to their own policies and applicable settings.

10. Analytics and Website Performance

Page5 may use website analytics or performance-monitoring services to understand traffic, assess content engagement, identify technical issues, and improve the user experience.

If such services are enabled, they may process information such as pages visited, approximate geographic region, device and browser characteristics, referral sources, and interactions with the website.

Where an analytics provider processes personal information on our behalf, we seek to use appropriate contractual, technical, and organizational safeguards.

Analytics technologies that require consent under applicable law will be used subject to the relevant consent requirements.

The specific analytics providers used by Page5 may change over time. Any published provider-specific disclosures should reflect the services actually installed on the website.

11. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information to third parties in exchange for money.

However, we may disclose or make information available in the following circumstances, where lawful and appropriate:

11.1 Service Providers

We may use third-party providers to support website hosting, server administration, security, email delivery, account management, analytics, backups, and technical maintenance.

These providers may process information on our behalf to perform services for Page5, subject to applicable arrangements and safeguards.

11.2 Advertising and Analytics Partners

Where enabled, advertising or analytics partners may collect or receive information through their technologies to provide their services, subject to applicable law, settings, and consent requirements.

Some of these partners may act as independent controllers rather than processors on our behalf.

11.3 Legal and Security Requirements

We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests, protect legal rights, investigate suspected fraud, address security incidents, or protect the safety of users or other individuals.

11.4 Business Transfers

If Page5 or its relevant business assets are involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable privacy requirements.

11.5 With Your Direction or Consent

We may share information for another purpose where you have requested or authorized the disclosure, or where another lawful basis permits it.

We seek to limit disclosures to information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

12. International Data Transfers

Page5 operates from Nigeria and serves users in different countries. Some of our hosting providers, service providers, advertising partners, or other third parties may process information in countries outside Nigeria or outside the country where a visitor is located.

Those countries may have different data protection laws and safeguards.

Where applicable law imposes requirements on international transfers, we will take appropriate steps to meet those requirements, which may include relying on an applicable legal mechanism, implementing contractual safeguards, or obtaining consent where legally appropriate.

Users may contact us for further information about international transfers relevant to their personal information, subject to applicable law and reasonable security limitations.

13. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may depend on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

For example:

• Account information may be retained while an account remains active and for a reasonable period afterward where necessary for security, legal, or administrative purposes.

• Newsletter information may be retained until you unsubscribe or the information is no longer required, subject to limited records needed to respect your preferences.

• Contact correspondence may be retained for a reasonable period to respond to inquiries and maintain appropriate records.

• Security and technical logs may be retained for periods appropriate to the security and operational needs of the website.

• Records may be retained longer where required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or establish or defend legal claims.

When personal information is no longer necessary, we will take reasonable steps to delete it, anonymize it, or otherwise dispose of it securely, subject to applicable law and legitimate retention needs.

14. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction.

Depending on the relevant system, these measures may include access restrictions, authentication controls, secure communications, software updates, security monitoring, backups, and appropriate administrative safeguards.

No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. We therefore cannot promise absolute security.

Users should protect their login credentials, use secure devices and networks where possible, and notify us if they suspect unauthorized access to their Page5 account.

Where applicable law requires notification of a personal data breach, we will follow the relevant legal requirements.

15. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and the law applicable to the processing of your personal information, you may have the right to:

• Be informed: Understand how and why your personal information is processed.

• Access: Request confirmation of whether we process your personal information and obtain access where legally required.

• Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.

• Deletion: Request erasure of personal information in circumstances where the law grants that right.

• Restriction: Request that certain processing activities be restricted where applicable.

• Object: Object to particular processing activities, including certain direct marketing or processing based on legitimate interests, where the law provides this right.

• Withdraw consent: Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.

• Data portability: Request a copy of certain information in a portable format where applicable.

• Automated decision-making safeguards: Exercise rights relating to qualifying automated decisions where provided by law.

We may request additional information to verify your identity before responding to requests involving account access, correction, or deletion. We will seek to respond within the time limits required by applicable law.

You will not be penalized for exercising a privacy right that the law grants to you.

16. Children's Privacy

Page5 is a general information website and is not intentionally designed to collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the matter.

Where required by law, we will take appropriate steps to address the information and obtain any necessary parental authorization or remove the information.

We do not knowingly collect children's personal information for purposes that are prohibited by applicable law.

17. Third-Party Links and External Websites

Page5 may link to external websites, including employers, recruitment agencies, scholarship providers, educational institutions, technology companies, news sources, and other organizations.

When you follow an external link, you leave our website and become subject to the privacy practices of the destination website.

We do not control the privacy policies, security practices, cookies, or information-handling activities of external websites.

We encourage users to review the privacy policy and relevant terms of any external website before submitting personal information or using its services.

The presence of a link does not necessarily mean Page5 endorses the external organization or guarantees its practices.

18. User-Generated Content and Public Information

If Page5 provides comments, reviews, public profiles, or other interactive publishing features, information you choose to submit may be visible to other users or the public, depending on the feature's settings.

Please exercise care before publishing personal details, contact information, or other information you do not want publicly accessible.

Information published publicly may be copied, shared, or indexed by third parties. Removing information from Page5 may not remove copies already held by others or stored in external search systems.

Where applicable, we may moderate or remove content to protect users, maintain website standards, address privacy concerns, or comply with legal obligations.

19. Do Not Track and Browser Preferences

Some browsers provide privacy signals or settings intended to limit tracking. The meaning and implementation of these signals may vary.

Page5 will honor privacy signals where required by applicable law and supported by the technologies and services we use.

You may also manage certain tracking preferences through cookie consent controls, browser settings, and the privacy controls offered by relevant third-party providers.

20. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our website, technology, service providers, advertising arrangements, legal requirements, or privacy practices.

When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the beginning of this page.

Where changes require additional notice or consent under applicable law, we will take the required steps.

We encourage users to review this policy periodically to remain informed about how Page5 handles personal information.
