Privacy policy

This draft explains the data the MVP handles and should be reviewed by Nigerian privacy counsel before public launch. It does not claim legal compliance.

Location

Your browser location is requested only when you choose “Use my location.” Coordinates are sent to this service’s nearby-search endpoint for a distance query and are not saved to the directory database or analytics table. You can deny permission and search manually. If Google Maps is configured and you switch to map view after a nearby search, Google Maps requests may reveal the approximate map area being viewed under Google’s terms. Nearby list search does not load Google Maps.

Search and analytics

The MVP records aggregate event type and broad state/LGA filters for service improvement. It does not store search text, exact location, or a user account identifier. Web hosting providers may independently retain standard server logs; deployment operators must document their retention settings.

Correction reports

If you submit a correction, we store the facility reference, report details and any optional contact information you provide so an administrator can review it. Do not include personal medical information. Contact hello@healthfacilities.ng to ask about a report you submitted.

Data protection

Before production use, the operator must confirm a lawful basis, retention periods, data-subject request process, processor agreements, security controls and the applicable obligations under the Nigeria Data Protection Act. This page is informational and is not legal advice.
