Privacy
You can use the map, the route check and reports without an account. This page says what LabariMap keeps, why, and how to remove it.
If you register
Registering is only needed for alerts on your phone. You register with Google (or Apple on an iPhone). We keep your email address, the account number Google or Apple gives us, and when you registered and last signed in. Nothing else comes from your Google or Apple account: not your name, photo or contacts. With Apple's "Hide my email" we only see a private address Apple makes for you.
We use your email only to recognise your account. We do not send you email and never sell or share it.
Alerts on your phone
For alerts we keep your choices (the area, how serious, news types, quiet hours), a notification token for each phone you use, and the list of alerts sent to you. Alerts are delivered by Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging, which sees the alert's headline and place and the phone's token, nothing else about you. Signing out stops alerts on that phone.
Reports and confirmations
A report keeps where it was made, its type and note, when it was sent, an anonymous number for the phone and its internet address, and your account if you are registered. Answering "still there?" about a story keeps the answer with the same anonymous phone number and internet address. These stop false reports and repeat sending. Reports are reviewed by an editor before anything shows on the map, and the public never sees who sent a report.
Route checks and searches
The places you check a route between, or search for, are not kept with your account.
Adverts
Adverts are counted (how many times shown and tapped) without anything about who saw them. There is no advertising tracking.
Where it is kept
On LabariMap's own server in the European Union, under the Nigeria Data Protection Act and the EU's data protection law.
Removing your account
In the app, open Me and choose Delete my account. Your account, its email, settings and alert history are removed at once. Reports you sent stay on the record, no longer linked to your account (they keep only the anonymous phone number and internet address described above).
