Privacy Policy

At Dominion Mandates, accessible from https://dominionmandates.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors, creators and partners. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we collect and record, and how we use it. By using our website, you agree to this policy.

1Information We Collect

Personal data

When you register as an Artist or Minister, subscribe to our newsletter or contact us directly, we may collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, location and ministry or church details.

Media and content data

This includes songs, sermons, write-ups, cover art and other graphics, together with their titles, descriptions and media links, that are submitted by creators through their dashboard or organised by our internal team.

Log files and analytics

Like most websites, we use log files and analytics cookies. These record information such as your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), date and time of visit and the pages you view. We use this to understand trends and how visitors use the site. It is not used to identify you personally.

2How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate and maintain the Dominion Mandates website.
• Create and manage creator accounts, and review and publish content submissions.
• Send emails about your account, password resets, content approvals and newsletter updates.
• Reply to messages, prayer requests and enquiries you send us.
• Improve website speed, monitor security and prevent spam, fraud and malicious uploads.

3Cookies & Advertising

We use cookies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences and understand how the site is used. When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies, and you can change your choice at any time.

We use Google AdSense to show adverts that help support this ministry. Google and its partners use cookies to show ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. You can learn how Google uses this information at Google’s advertising policy, and you can turn off personalised ads at any time in Google My Ad Center.

4Data Storage & Third-Party Services

• Website hosting: our website and its database are hosted on secure servers managed by our hosting provider.
• Email: website emails (such as account and approval emails) are sent through our own mailbox, [email protected].
• Media hosting: to deliver audio and media quickly around the world, media files may be stored on specialised external cloud storage networks rather than on our core server. Some media is played from the platform where the creator published it (for example YouTube or Audiomack), and those platforms have their own privacy policies.
• Payments: if we offer donations, premium features or a store, payments will be processed securely by trusted gateways such as Paystack or Flutterwave. We never store your card or bank details on our servers.
• Advertising & analytics: Google AdSense and Google analytics services, as described above.

5How Long We Keep Data

• Creator accounts and their content are kept for as long as the account is active, or until you ask us to delete them.
• Newsletter email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe.
• Messages sent through our contact form are kept only as long as needed to respond and follow up.
• Log and analytics data is kept for a limited period and then deleted or anonymised.

6Your Data Protection Rights (NDPA & GDPR)

In line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 and international data protection rules, you have the right to:

• Ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct information that is wrong or incomplete.
• Ask us to delete your creator account and the media associated with it.
• Withdraw your consent at any time, for example by unsubscribing from our emails.
• Object to how we use your data.

To make a request, email [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC).

7Security

We use secure (HTTPS) connections, protected accounts, regular backups and spam protection to keep your information safe. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we work hard to protect your data.

8Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will remove it promptly.

9Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
