Privacy Policy

We collect only the minimum personal information necessary to operate our publishing platform and respond to your submissions:

• Submit a Story Form (/submit): Your name, email address, phone/WhatsApp number (optional), campus/organisation affiliation (optional), story content, and source documentation.
• Ask a Scholar Form (/ask-a-scholar): Your question details, topic category, optional name, and contact email (used strictly for private scholarly follow-up or notification).
• Contact Form (/contact): Your name, email address, inquiry category, and message content.
• Editorial Authentication: For authorised editors, contributors, and scholars signing into the Editorial Dashboard, we use an encrypted, HTTP-only session cookie (d2j_editorial_session).

We recognise that questions submitted to our Ask a Scholar desk often involve sensitive personal, family, or spiritual circumstances. We enforce the following technical and editorial rules:

• Every question is stored in our database with the initial status Private Submission and is never automatically displayed on the public website.
• Your contact email and private notes are stripped at the server layer from all public API responses and search indexes.
• If a question is marked Keep 100% private by the sender, it will never be adapted into a public Q&A article.
• Where the sender permits public adaptation for community benefit, editors remove all identifying names, locations, and personal details before a scholar-reviewed answer is published.

D2J Media Hub does not use invasive third-party advertising trackers or sell reader data to data brokers.

• Theme Preference: If you toggle light or dark reading mode, your browser stores that preference locally.
• Editorial Session Cookie: Authorised staff logging into /admin receive a signed HTTP-only session cookie that expires automatically after 24 hours.

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 and applicable data protection laws, you have the right to:

• Request access to any personal data you have submitted to us via our forms.
• Request correction or deletion of your private submission or contact details prior to publication.
• Withdraw consent for public adaptation of a story submission or anonymised Q&A.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through our Contact Us page (selecting Privacy or Data Request) or email privacy@d2jmediahub.com.
