ATribe Spot ("we," "us," "the Tribe") operates atribespot.com — a curated Nigerian lifestyle and directory platform — along with its blog and any associated pages. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
When you use ATribe Spot, we may collect:
- Information you give us directly — your name, email address, and WhatsApp number when you subscribe to updates, submit a business listing, leave a review, or comment on a blog post.
- Automatically collected information — device type, browser, approximate location (city-level, used to show nearby places), pages visited, and general usage patterns, collected via standard analytics tools.
- Content you submit — reviews, comments, ratings, and any photos or text you upload as part of a business listing or blog comment.
How We Use It
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate and improve the directory and blog — showing you relevant places, posts, and categories.
- Send newsletter updates if you've subscribed, which you can unsubscribe from at any time.
- Respond to business listing submissions and support requests sent to tribe@atribespot.com or via WhatsApp.
- Maintain the integrity of reviews and comments, including moderating spam or abusive content.
- Understand aggregate usage trends so we can make the platform better.
Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with:
- Service providers who help us run the site (hosting, email delivery, analytics), bound to keep your data confidential.
- ATribe Tickets (atribeticket.com), a related Aesthetic Tribe Essence platform — if you click through to it, its own privacy policy governs any information you provide there.
- Legal authorities, only where required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of ATribe Spot or others.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences (such as a previously selected city), keep you signed in, and understand how the site is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect some features, like staying logged in.
Your Rights & Choices
You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you at any time by emailing tribe@atribespot.com. You may also unsubscribe from newsletter emails using the link in any email we send, or by contacting us directly.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security, but we work to keep your data safe.
Children's Privacy
ATribe Spot is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for legal reasons. We'll update the "Last updated" date above whenever we do. Continued use of the platform after changes means you accept the updated policy.
