This page explains what AzarFaith collects from givers, organizations and visitors, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and the choices you have under Nigerian data protection law.
What we collect
- Account details: name, email address and a hashed password you choose.
- Giving records: amounts, dates, campaigns supported and payment method type.
- Payment references and tokens returned by our processor — never your card number, PIN or BVN.
- Organization records: registration documents, trustee IDs, addresses and bank account details needed for verification.
- Technical data: device, browser and basic log entries used for security and fraud prevention.
Why we process it
| Purpose | Data used | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Processing a donation | Giving record, payment reference | Performance of a contract |
| Verifying an organization | Registration, trustee ID, address, bank details | Legal obligation and legitimate interest |
| Preventing fraud | Device, logs, transaction pattern | Legitimate interest |
| Sending receipts and updates | Name, email, campaign choices | Consent, withdrawable at any time |
| Meeting regulatory duties | Transaction and payout records | Legal obligation |
We do not sell personal data. Organizations never see a giver's card details or full payment reference, and a giver appears to an organization as a first name or an anonymous entry depending on your giving preference.

Retention and security
Giving and payout records are kept for as long as Nigerian tax and reporting rules require, then deleted or anonymized. Marketing consents are dropped the moment you withdraw them. Data is encrypted in transit, access is role-based and logged, and any suspected breach is assessed immediately and reported to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission where the law requires it.
Which laws apply to AzarFaith?
We process personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation 2019 and the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, overseen by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.
Do you share my data with the organizations I support?
Only what is needed for them to thank you — a first name or an anonymous reference. Payment details, email address and full giving history stay with AzarFaith.
Is my data stored outside Nigeria?
Some infrastructure may be hosted outside Nigeria, in which case we apply contractual and security safeguards required for cross-border transfers under the Act.
How do I delete my account and data?
Email support@azarfaith.ng requesting deletion. We remove what we can and retain only transaction records we are legally required to keep.
How do I stop campaign emails?
Use the unsubscribe link in any message or turn off updates in your dashboard. Transactional receipts and security notices will still be sent.
