1. About This Privacy Policy
Welcome to GreenLink.com.ng.
GreenLink is a Nigerian travel and information website published by Godwin Samuel.
I started traveling around Nigeria when I was about 18. One of my early trips was to Imo State, and that experience encouraged me to continue exploring different parts of the country.
Since then, I have traveled to many Nigerian states, met people from different backgrounds, experienced different environments and cultures, and stayed in hotels in different parts of Nigeria.
GreenLink grew from that interest in travel, discovery and sharing practical information with other people.
When you visit GreenLink, you may interact with the website without directly giving us personal information. However, certain technical information may be processed automatically by the website, hosting provider, security tools, analytics services, advertising services or other technologies that may be operating on the site.
If you contact GreenLink directly, you may also choose to provide personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains how GreenLink may collect, use, protect and disclose information and the choices that may be available to you.
Our aim is to explain these practices in straightforward language rather than hide important information behind complicated wording.

These details are also provided so readers, businesses and other interested parties can identify and contact the publisher.
3. What Information Does GreenLink Collect?
The information processed by GreenLink depends on how you use the website.
Information you voluntarily provide
If you contact us, you may provide information such as:
- Your name.
- Email address.
- Phone number.
- The contents of your message.
- Information about your enquiry.
- Other information you voluntarily include.
You do not normally need to provide your name, email address or telephone number simply to read GreenLink articles.
Technical information
When you visit a website, certain technical information may be processed automatically.
Depending on the technologies actually operating on GreenLink, this may include:
- IP address.
- Browser type.
- Device type.
- Operating system.
- Approximate location derived from technical information.
- Pages visited.
- Referring page or website.
- Date and time of access.

The exact information collected depends on the services and technologies currently installed on GreenLink.
4. Why GreenLink May Process Information
Information may be processed for legitimate purposes connected with operating and improving GreenLink.
These purposes may include:
- Operating the website.
- Responding to enquiries.
- Maintaining website security.
- Detecting spam, abuse or suspicious activity.

- Improving the usefulness of our content.
- Measuring website traffic.
- Providing advertising where applicable.
- Measuring advertising performance where applicable.
- Managing commercial relationships.
- Complying with applicable legal obligations.
- Protecting GreenLink, readers and third parties.
We aim to avoid collecting personal information simply because it is technically possible to collect it.
5. Reading GreenLink Articles
Most GreenLink content can be read without directly submitting personal information to us.
For example, if you read an article about:
- Hotels in Nigeria.
- Traveling between Nigerian states.
- Nigerian destinations.
- Travel planning.
- Hotel selection.
- Travel experiences.
you do not normally need to create an account or provide your name and email address.
However, technical information may still be processed by the website or third-party services used to operate it.
6. Contacting GreenLink
If you contact GreenLink by email, we receive the information contained in your message.
For example, you may contact us to:
- Report an incorrect travel detail.
- Suggest an article topic.
- Ask about a partnership.
- Ask an advertising question.
- Report a privacy concern.
- Request a correction.
- Provide feedback.
We may use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry and, where appropriate, investigate the matter.
Please do not send passwords, bank-card details, identity numbers or other highly sensitive information through ordinary email unless we specifically request it through an appropriate process.
7. Information From Correction Requests
GreenLink welcomes factual corrections.
If you contact us because you believe an article contains incorrect information, you may provide:
- Your name.
- Email address.
- The article URL.
- The statement you believe is incorrect.
- Correct information.
- Supporting evidence.
We may use that information to investigate the correction.
This supports GreenLink’s aim of keeping travel information accurate and useful.
8. Cookies and Similar Technologies
GreenLink may use cookies and similar technologies depending on the tools installed on the website.
A cookie is a small piece of information stored by a website or related service in your browser or device.
Cookies may be used for purposes such as:
- Website functionality.
- Security.
- Remembering preferences.
- Analytics.
- Advertising.
- Measuring advertising performance.
Different cookies can have different purposes.
Some may be set directly by GreenLink, while others may be set by third-party services.
9. Advertising and Cookies
If GreenLink uses advertising services such as Google AdSense, those services may use cookies or similar technologies as part of advertising delivery and measurement.
Google requires publishers using its products to disclose relevant information about data collection, sharing and technologies such as cookies, web beacons and IP addresses.
Google also provides privacy and advertising controls through its own services.
If GreenLink uses Google advertising products, readers should also review Google’s relevant privacy and advertising information.
10. Personalized Advertising
If personalized advertising is enabled on GreenLink, an advertising provider may use information associated with browsing activity or other signals to help personalize advertisements.
Whether personalized advertising is used can depend on:
- Your location.
- Your device.
- Your browser.
- Applicable privacy requirements.
- Your consent choices.
- Advertising-provider settings.
- The configuration of GreenLink’s advertising account.
Google notes that publishers’ privacy policies may need to explain the use of personalized advertising.
GreenLink does not control Google’s independent advertising systems.
11. Visitors From Europe, the United Kingdom and Switzerland
GreenLink may receive visitors from countries outside Nigeria.
Where Google advertising products are used and applicable visitors are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom or Switzerland, additional consent requirements may apply.
Google states that publishers using personalized advertising in these regions are required to use a Google-certified consent management platform integrated with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework where applicable.
If GreenLink serves advertising to visitors in these regions, the website will use the applicable consent and privacy mechanisms required for the services and traffic involved.
This Privacy Policy should be read together with any cookie or consent-management notice displayed on the website.
12. Analytics
GreenLink may use analytics technology to understand how visitors use the website.
Analytics can help us understand:
- Which articles receive visitors.
- Which pages are useful.
- Which devices readers use.
- How visitors navigate the website.
- Where technical problems occur.
- How website performance can be improved.
Current analytics service: [Insert the actual service used, or remove this section if none is used.]
If an analytics provider is used, that provider may process technical information according to its own privacy policy.
13. Third-Party Services
GreenLink may use third-party services to operate particular website functions.
Depending on the actual services installed, these may include:
- Hosting providers.
- Security providers.
- Analytics providers.
- Advertising providers.
- Email providers.
- Contact-form providers.
- Affiliate platforms.
- Booking platforms.
- Embedded media services.
- Website performance services.
The exact third-party services used by GreenLink may change over time.
Where a third party processes information through its service, its own privacy policy may also apply.
Important: GreenLink should update this Privacy Policy when a new service materially changes how personal information is processed.
14. External Websites
GreenLink articles may link to external websites.
These may include:
- Hotels.
- Tourism organizations.
- Government websites.
- Booking websites.
- Transport providers.
- Restaurants.
- Travel companies.
- Maps.
- Other useful travel resources.
When you leave GreenLink and visit an external website, that website controls its own privacy practices.
GreenLink is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of independent websites.
Before submitting personal information to another website, review that website’s privacy policy.
15. Affiliate Links
GreenLink may use affiliate links.
An affiliate link may generate a commission for GreenLink when a reader completes a qualifying transaction or action.
Affiliate providers may use cookies or similar technologies to determine whether a transaction originated from a GreenLink referral.
GreenLink generally does not receive a reader’s complete payment information simply because the reader clicked an affiliate link.
The transaction itself is normally handled by the external provider.
For additional information about GreenLink’s commercial relationships, see our Advertising & Partnership Disclosure.
16. Hotel and Travel Partnerships
GreenLink may work with hotels, tourism organizations, travel businesses and other relevant partners.
A business may provide GreenLink with information such as:
- Hotel facilities.
- Room information.
- Prices.
- Promotional offers.
- Contact details.
- Photographs.
- Business descriptions.
Business-provided information should not automatically be interpreted as GreenLink’s personal experience.
This distinction is important to our publishing approach.
If I personally stay at a hotel, I can describe what I actually experienced.
If information comes from the hotel, it should be treated as business-provided information.
This helps readers understand the difference between firsthand experience and supplied information.
17. Firsthand Experience and Privacy
Travel writing is an important part of GreenLink.
I have traveled to many parts of Nigeria and stayed in hotels in different states.
When I describe something I personally experienced—such as a hotel’s parking arrangement, cleanliness, water availability, food, Wi-Fi, mobile network or surrounding environment—I aim to present it as a personal observation rather than an absolute guarantee.
For example:
“During my stay, I found the parking convenient.”
is different from saying:
“This hotel always has convenient parking.”
The first describes a personal experience.
The second makes a broad claim that may not remain true.
GreenLink aims to maintain this distinction throughout its travel content.
18. Advertising and Privacy
GreenLink may display advertising.
Advertising technology may process certain technical information required to provide or measure advertisements.
Advertising providers may have their own privacy policies and controls.
The presence of an advertisement does not mean GreenLink receives all information collected by the advertiser.
The exact information processed depends on the advertising provider and its configuration.
If GreenLink uses Google AdSense, the applicable Google advertising and privacy requirements will also apply.
19. Children’s Privacy
GreenLink is a general-audience travel and information website.
We do not intentionally ask children to provide unnecessary personal information.
If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information to GreenLink without appropriate authorization, please contact us.
We will review the situation and take appropriate action where required.
20. Data Security
GreenLink takes reasonable steps to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss or disclosure.
Depending on the technology used, security measures may include:
- Secure website connections.
- Website security tools.
- Access controls.
- Password protection.
- Software updates.
- Hosting-provider security measures.
- Monitoring for suspicious activity.
However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Therefore, GreenLink cannot promise absolute security.
21. How Long Information Is Kept
Different information may be retained for different periods.
The retention period may depend on:
- Why the information was collected.
- Whether it is required to respond to an enquiry.
- Legal requirements.
- Accounting requirements.
- Security needs.
- Business records.
- Whether an ongoing relationship exists.
Where information is no longer reasonably required, it may be deleted, anonymized or otherwise disposed of where appropriate.
Third-party providers may retain information according to their own policies.
22. When Information May Be Shared
GreenLink does not intend to sell readers’ personal information simply because they visit the website.
Information may nevertheless be processed or disclosed where necessary for legitimate website operations, contractual arrangements, security, legal compliance or other lawful purposes.
Depending on the circumstances, recipients may include:
- Hosting providers.
- Security providers.
- Analytics providers.
- Advertising providers.
- Email providers.
- Website service providers.
- Affiliate platforms.
- Professional advisers.
- Government authorities where legally required.
The information shared should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
23. Legal Requests
GreenLink may disclose information where required or permitted by applicable law.
This may include circumstances involving:
- A valid legal request.
- Law-enforcement requirements.
- Fraud investigations.
- Website security.
- Protection of users.
- Protection of GreenLink’s legal rights.
- Regulatory requirements.
We aim to handle such disclosures responsibly and only where there is an appropriate legal or legitimate basis.
24. Nigeria Data Protection
GreenLink operates from Nigeria and recognizes the importance of applicable Nigerian data-protection requirements.
The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 establishes a framework for the protection of personal data and data-subject rights.
GreenLink aims to provide information about privacy in a clear and accessible manner, including information about who operates the website, how information may be processed, why it may be processed and how visitors can contact us.
For formal legal or regulatory questions concerning Nigerian data protection, readers should consult the Nigeria Data Protection Commission or an appropriately qualified professional.
25. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on applicable law and the circumstances of processing, you may have rights relating to your personal information.
These may include:
- Requesting access to personal information.
- Requesting correction of inaccurate information.
- Requesting deletion where legally applicable.
- Objecting to certain processing.
- Requesting restriction of certain processing.
- Withdrawing consent where processing is based on consent.
- Asking questions about how information is processed.
- Making a complaint to an applicable data-protection authority.
Not every right applies in every situation.
Some rights may be subject to legal exceptions.
26. Making a Privacy Request
To ask GreenLink about personal information associated with you, contact:
Email: info@greenlink.com.ng
Please explain:
- The nature of your request.
- The information or activity concerned.
- Any information that can help us identify the relevant record.
We may request additional information to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
This helps protect personal information from being disclosed to someone pretending to be another person.
27. Privacy Complaints
If you believe GreenLink has mishandled your personal information, please contact us first.
Email: info@greenlink.com.ng
Phone: +234 705 802 7129
Please describe:
- What happened.
- When it happened.
- What information may be involved.
- What outcome you are requesting.
We will review the matter where reasonably possible.
Where applicable, you may also have the right to complain to the relevant data-protection authority.
28. Browser and Cookie Controls
Most modern browsers provide controls for managing cookies.
Depending on your browser, you may be able to:
- Block cookies.
- Delete cookies.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Receive notifications before cookies are stored.
Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
If a third-party advertising or analytics provider is used, that provider may also provide its own privacy controls.
29. Google Advertising Controls
If GreenLink uses Google advertising products, Google provides tools through which users can manage certain advertising preferences.
Google’s publisher documentation also explains that publishers may need to update privacy disclosures when personalized advertising is used.
Google’s Privacy & Messaging tools can also be used by publishers to manage certain privacy and consent requirements.
GreenLink does not control Google’s independent privacy settings.
30. Social Media
GreenLink may link to social-media profiles or use social-media features.
If you interact with GreenLink through a social-media platform, that platform may process information according to its own privacy policy.
GreenLink does not control how an independent social-media company processes information.
31. Embedded Content
Some GreenLink pages may contain embedded content, such as:
- Maps.
- Videos.
- Social-media posts.
- Interactive resources.
- Other third-party content.
An embedded service may communicate with its own servers when the content loads.
The third-party provider may process technical information according to its own policies.
32. Email and Newsletters
If GreenLink operates an email newsletter, subscribers may be asked to provide information such as an email address and, optionally, a name.
The email provider may process subscriber information to deliver messages and manage subscriptions.
Subscribers should be given an appropriate way to unsubscribe.
Current newsletter provider: [Insert actual provider or remove this section if GreenLink does not currently operate a newsletter.]
33. Contact Forms
If GreenLink uses a WordPress contact form, information entered into the form may be transmitted to GreenLink and/or the service that processes the form.
Depending on the form, this may include:
- Name.
- Email address.
- Phone number.
- Message.
- Other information voluntarily entered by the visitor.
Current contact-form service: [Insert actual plugin/service or remove if not applicable.]
34. Website Security and Spam Protection
GreenLink may use security or spam-protection tools to protect contact forms and the website.
These tools may process technical information such as:
- IP address.
- Browser information.
- Device information.
- Interaction patterns.
The exact information processed depends on the security service used.
Current security/spam service: [Insert actual service or remove if not applicable.]
35. How Privacy Fits Into Our Publishing Philosophy
I started GreenLink because I wanted to share what I have learned from traveling around Nigeria.
Travel has taught me that useful information is often found in practical details.
When I arrive somewhere new, I want to know what the environment is like, where I can stay, what I should prepare for and what other travelers should consider.
I believe readers deserve that same practical approach to privacy.
If you simply want to read an article, you should not have to tell GreenLink your personal story.
If you contact us, we need to know enough to respond.
If advertising or analytics tools are operating on the website, those services may process certain technical information.
The purpose of this policy is to make those differences clear.
36. Accuracy and Updates
Privacy practices can change when a website adds or removes technology.
For example, GreenLink may eventually introduce:
- New analytics.
- Advertising platforms.
- Newsletter services.
- New contact forms.
- Affiliate services.
- Booking tools.
- Security systems.
- Other website technologies.
When our privacy practices materially change, this Privacy Policy may be updated.
The Last Updated date at the top of this page should be changed whenever a significant revision is made.
37. Privacy Policy and Third-Party Policies
This Privacy Policy explains GreenLink’s own practices.
It does not replace the privacy policies of third-party companies.
For example, Google, a hotel, booking platform, analytics company, advertising network or social-media service may have its own privacy policy.
If you interact directly with one of those services, review its privacy policy to understand how it handles information.
38. Changes to This Privacy Policy
GreenLink may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
Updates may occur because of:
- Changes to the website.
- New technologies.
- New advertising arrangements.
- Changes to analytics.
- New legal requirements.
- New partnerships.
- Changes in privacy practices.
When appropriate, the revised version will be published on this page with an updated date.
