Privacy Policy
Last updated: 14 July 2026
1. Introduction and scope
This Privacy Policy explains how Osuwon, which operates the website osuwon.com (“we”, “us”, “our”), handles information when you visit. Osuwon is a static, informational website, published in English and Hausa, that shows a consensus foreign-exchange and gold benchmark aggregated every hour from independent public sources.
The site is deliberately minimal: it exists to display prices, not to collect data about you. This policy covers all visitors to osuwon.com and describes exactly what limited information is processed when you use the site. It does not apply to any third-party website you may reach by following a link.
2. Summary — what we do and do not collect
To be clear up front:
- There are no user accounts, no sign-in or registration, no contact forms, no newsletter, no shopping, and no payments on this site.
- We do not use Google Analytics or any other web-analytics service, and we set no first-party tracking cookies of our own.
- The only information involved comes from two sources: (a) Cloudflare, which delivers and protects the site; and (b) ordinary web-server logs.
The rest of this policy simply explains those two in plain language.
3. Who we are and how to contact us
This site is operated under the name Osuwon (osuwon.com). For any question about this policy, or to make a data-protection or privacy request, you can reach us by email at contact@osuwon.com. This is the only channel for privacy and rights requests; there is no form, phone line, or account portal. We are not legally required to appoint a Data Protection Officer and have not appointed one.
4. Information we collect
Given the minimal design above, the information involved is limited to the following:
- Server access logs — like almost every website, our servers automatically record standard technical details of each request: your IP address, the browser/device information your browser sends (user-agent), the date and time, and the page or file requested. These are used only to operate and secure the site.
- Content-delivery and security data — our provider Cloudflare processes your IP address and may set a strictly-necessary security cookie to protect the site. See section 6.
We do not collect your name, email address, account credentials, profile, order history, or payment details, because the site has no feature that would ask for them. We do not collect sensitive personal information or precise (GPS) location, and we do not buy or receive personal information about you from data brokers — everything above comes directly from your own visit.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. This site sets no analytics or tracking cookies of its own. The only cookies are the strictly-necessary security cookies set by Cloudflare to protect the site:
| Cookie / data | Set by | Purpose | Category | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot management — tells automated traffic from human visitors to protect the site | Strictly necessary (security) | ~30 minutes |
| cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Records that a security challenge was passed, so you are not repeatedly challenged | Strictly necessary (security) | Up to ~24 hours |
| Access logs (not a cookie) | Osuwon server | Operate and secure the site | Strictly necessary (security/operations) | See section 9 |
Because the site sets no non-essential cookies, it shows no cookie-consent banner — there is nothing that requires your consent. The strictly-necessary security cookies above are exempt from consent under applicable law.
6. Content delivery and security (Cloudflare)
This site is delivered and protected by Cloudflare, a content-delivery and security provider. To do this, Cloudflare processes your IP address and may set strictly-necessary security cookies (see section 5). This is used for bot and denial-of-service mitigation, abuse prevention, and reliable delivery of the site — not for analytics or marketing. Cloudflare’s own handling of this data is described in its privacy policy.
7. How we use information and legal bases
We use the limited information above only to: (1) secure the site and prevent abuse, and deliver it reliably (Cloudflare); and (2) operate and secure our servers (access logs). We do not use it for analytics, content personalization, profiling of you by us, or marketing.
Where a data-protection law such as the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 or the UK/EU General Data Protection Regulation applies, our legal basis is our legitimate interests in keeping the site secure, available, and functioning, for the Cloudflare security processing and server logs — interests we have weighed against your rights and consider not to override them, given how limited the data is. We do not rely on a contract or a legal-obligation basis, because neither applies to simply viewing the site.
8. Sharing, recipients and international transfers
The only recipient of data through this site is Cloudflare (content delivery and security). We may also disclose information where required to do so by law or a valid legal request. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with any affiliate, group company, or marketing partner.
Cloudflare is based in the United States, so data handled by it may be processed there or in other countries. Cloudflare relies on Standard Contractual Clauses as a safeguard, so that transfers out of your country carry recognized protections. This may be relevant if you visit from Nigeria, the wider region, or the diaspora.
9. Data retention
Server access logs are kept only for as long as needed for security and operations, and are then deleted or anonymized. Cloudflare’s security cookies expire on their own schedules, set by Cloudflare (see the lifetimes in section 5, and its policy for detail). Because we hold no accounts or profiles, there is no long-term store of personal data on our side to retain.
10. Your data-protection rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, erase, or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to object to processing. Data portability does not generally apply here, given how little data is held. To exercise a right, email contact@osuwon.com. Please note that because we hold so little identifiable information, we may not always be able to link a request to a specific individual.
If you are in Nigeria, the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 gives you these rights over your personal data, and you may lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC). If you are in the UK or EEA, you also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority — in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk); in the EEA, your local Data Protection Authority.
11. California privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, this section applies to you. The only categories of personal information involved are Identifiers (such as IP address and online/device identifiers) and Internet or other electronic network activity (your interaction with the site). We do not collect Sensitive Personal Information or precise geolocation, so the right to limit their use does not arise, and the site is not directed to, and does not knowingly collect information from, anyone under 16.
We do not sell or share your personal information; we also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals. As a California consumer you have the right to know/access, delete, and correct your information, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. Requests can be made to contact@osuwon.com.
12. Additional information
Children’s privacy. This site is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16 (or under 13 where that lower age applies).
Automated decisions. We make no automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.
Links to other sites. Links on this site may lead to websites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their own policies.
Changes to this policy. We may update this policy from time to time; any update is posted on this page with a revised date. Please check back periodically.
