When you submit a business, we collect the business details, founder name, location, image, and contact links you choose to provide. We use them to review your submission and publish your listing if approved. Your contact email is kept separately and privately for submission updates and corrections; it is not part of the public business listing.
Event submissions
When you submit an event, we collect the event details, organiser name, organiser email and optional flyer. We use these to review the event and publish it if approved. The organiser email field is only visible to administrators and is not copied into the public event. Event details, the organiser name and any flyer are public after approval. Flyers have public URLs even while under review; do not include private information in them. Pending, changes-requested and rejected event submissions are reviewed for deletion after 90 days. You can contact us below to request correction or removal of an event or its organiser contact information.
Submission emails and corrections
When email is configured, we use Resend to send receipt, approval, rejection and correction messages. Resend receives your email address, the submission title, review message and any public listing link. These are service messages, not a marketing subscription. Replies go to our community contact below, where an administrator handles corrections. Private contact details and email history are accessible only to administrators. Removing a submission also removes its private contact and local email history; email already sent remains subject to the recipient’s and email service’s retention practices.

Place submissions include the location, description, visiting information, photos or videos, captions and creator credits. Your contact email and review notes are private to administrators. Media is stored privately until review; approved pages use temporary media links. Unpublishing removes the page immediately, but already issued media links may work for up to one hour. Administrators can remove abandoned uploads older than three hours. Rejected contributions are reviewed for deletion after 90 days. Only upload media you own or have permission to share, and avoid private or sensitive content. Contact us below to request a correction, credit change or removal.
Public information
Approved listings are visible to everyone. Only provide a business WhatsApp number and information you are comfortable making public. Images may be stored at public URLs, including while a submission is under review. Do not upload private or sensitive material.
Accounts and services
Administrator sign-in uses essential authentication cookies. The application uses Supabase for database, authentication, and image storage; Cloudflare Turnstile checks public submissions for automated abuse. External websites and WhatsApp have their own privacy practices.
Business-owner access
Owners can sign in using an email code sent through Supabase Authentication and our configured email provider. An essential session cookie keeps you signed in. Access to a published listing requires a verified account email matching its private contact email. Proposed changes and review feedback are stored separately and visible to the submitting owner while they retain access, and to administrators. Changes only become public after approval. Deleting a listing removes its update history. To change a private contact email or request account deletion, contact the community team below.
Community email subscriptions
Community updates are optional and separate from business or event submission emails. We store your email, subscription status, consent version and request, confirmation and unsubscribe dates in Supabase. You join the active list only after confirming through an email sent by Resend. Confirmation links expire after 24 hours; unsubscribe links let you stop community updates without signing in. Only administrators can read the subscriber list and campaign delivery records. Newsletters are sent through Resend; unsubscribe links stop future community emails. Bounces and spam complaints received from Resend suppress further newsletter sends. Campaign records store the recipient address, email content and delivery outcome; an accepted email is not a guarantee of inbox delivery. We retain unsubscribed addresses to record your choice and prevent accidental mailing; you can request deletion using the contact below. Unconfirmed requests are reviewed for deletion after 90 days. We do not automatically subscribe business owners or people submitting listings.
Website traffic
We measure public page views, approximate visits, broad traffic sources and device categories. A random identifier in your browser’s session storage groups views within one tab. It expires after 30 minutes without a tracked page view or at midnight in Nigeria. No analytics cookies are used. The database stores a daily hash of this identifier, page paths, broad source and device categories, and random request identifiers for duplicate prevention. We do not store IP addresses, full browser user-agent strings, full referrer URLs, query strings or form contents in these analytics tables. Admin and owner pages, email confirmation and unsubscribe pages are excluded. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals are respected. Reports are administrator-only, cover up to 90 days, and older records are deleted during the next recorded visit. Our hosting provider may separately keep operational request logs. Counts are estimates, not a count of identifiable people.
Contact-click counts
We count clicks on business website and WhatsApp buttons to understand which listings receive interest. The analytics table stores only the business, contact type, date in Nigeria and a daily total. It does not store visitor identifiers, IP addresses or individual browsing histories, and uses no analytics cookies. Counts are visible only to administrators and are removed when the business is deleted. Browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals are respected. Our hosting provider may separately keep operational request logs. These counts measure clicks, not unique people, messages or purchases.
Changes and removal
To correct or remove your listing, contact ekamcy@gmail.com. Include the business name and the requested change.
Approved listings are kept while the directory operates or until removal is requested. Pending, changes-requested and rejected submissions are reviewed for deletion after 90 days. Deletion is handled by the community administrator.
Listings are reviewed before publication. Listing approval does not verify the quality or legitimacy of a business. Do your own checks before transacting.
