Updated on July 2, 2025.
Purpose and Overview
Oploria operates as an independent source of employment and professional development information for readers in Nigeria. Through our website, https://oploria.com, we share insights on labour trends, highlight publicly available job vacancies, and offer practical guidance to support the career growth of individuals navigating the Nigerian job market.
Respecting your privacy is one of our core responsibilities. This Privacy Policy outlines how personal data is collected, processed, stored, and protected when you interact with our content. We aim to provide full transparency regarding the types of data we gather, why we collect it, and what steps we take to keep it secure.
The sections below explain, in accessible and detailed language, how we manage your information while you use the site. If you have any questions after reviewing this document, you can reach us via our contact form at https://oploria.com/contact.
Policy Scope
The privacy commitments described in this policy apply to all personal data collected when you browse, read, or otherwise engage with content hosted on https://oploria.com. Interaction may include viewing articles, using analytics tools, submitting inquiries through forms, or participating in optional surveys and features available on the site.
This Privacy Policy governs only the practices of Oploria. While we may include links to external websites for informational purposes, those third-party destinations operate under their own privacy policies. Before sharing any personal information on an external platform, we strongly recommend reviewing its privacy terms independently.
User Consent
By continuing to access and use Oploria, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Your interaction with our articles, forms, or other features signals your consent to the collection and handling practices described in this document.
Continued use of the website also indicates acceptance of our Terms of Use. If you do not agree with either the Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, we advise you to discontinue use of the site. Ongoing access will be regarded as voluntary and informed consent to both documents.
Use of AI Tools
To support consistency in layout and clarity in language, Oploria occasionally uses artificial intelligence tools during the drafting and editorial preparation of articles. These tools may help with organizing research notes, adjusting sentence structure, or aligning content with internal formatting standards.
However, every article is thoroughly reviewed and finalized by our editorial team. Our editors ensure that the content is locally relevant, factually accurate, and aligned with the purpose of informing job seekers in Nigeria. AI tools are used only as supportive aids—editorial decisions and content integrity remain fully in human hands.
We understand that transparency in how content is created is essential. If you would like more details about how AI tools are used during our editorial process, feel free to reach out via our contact page.
I. Data Gathering Practices
Oploria follows a responsible, transparent approach to information handling. To keep the site functional, protect visitor access, and improve the features we offer, certain data must be collected. That information arrives through three primary channels: details you choose to share with us, technical data automatically transmitted by your device, and limited inputs supplied by reputable third-party providers.
A. INFORMATION SUPPLIED VOLUNTARILY
Most areas of Oploria can be explored without revealing personal details. However, a handful of optional features—such as e-mail updates, notification services, or interactive utilities—require basic identifying data. When engaging with those features, you may be asked for your name, e-mail address, telephone number, or approximate region. We request only what is necessary to confirm your access, deliver the service you requested, or tailor certain elements of the site to your preferences.
If you contact us through the support form, submit survey responses, or provide feedback, the content of that communication is used solely to reply to you, resolve an issue, or refine our editorial approach. We do not employ such information for unrelated marketing, nor do we sell it to third parties.
B. INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY
Each time you browse Oploria, our systems record technical data essential to maintaining performance and diagnosing problems. Typical items include your IP address, browser and device type, operating-system version, date and time of access, and the sequence of pages you view. These details are captured through server log files, cookies, and analytical scripts.
Cookies and web beacons help the platform recognise returning browsers, remember display preferences, and evaluate article popularity—for instance, identifying which guides receive the most traffic or how long readers spend on a particular page. Such insights allow us to resolve errors promptly and optimise content layout across multiple devices.
You may disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Doing so, however, might affect certain conveniences—such as retaining language choices or keeping you signed in to a subscription area. Continued use of our site without altering those settings signifies consent to the cookie practices described in this notice.
C. INFORMATION SOURCED FROM THIRD PARTIES
To support operations and keep the website free of charge, Oploria cooperates with select advertising networks and analytics vendors. These partners may embed their own cookies, pixels, or tracking code on our pages to capture non-identifying metrics such as browser configuration, approximate geography, visit duration, or ad impressions. The purpose is to gauge overall engagement levels and present advertisements likely to be relevant to a broad audience.
Personal information—such as your name, e-mail address, or phone number—is never shared directly with advertisers. Moreover, we have no control over how those partners manage any data they do collect. Their practices are governed by their respective privacy policies. Clicking an advertisement does not create a contractual relationship between you and Oploria; any interaction with an external party occurs under that party’s own terms.
Major providers, including Google, may rely on cookies to display interest-based advertising. If you prefer not to receive such ads, you can adjust settings through your Google account or consult the provider’s privacy statement for opt-out instructions.
We encourage all users to review the policies of any external services referenced or linked on our pages. This Privacy Notice applies solely to data collected through Oploria and does not extend to the practices of third-party platforms.
II. Mobile Communication Consent
A. CONSENT TO RECEIVE SMS COMMUNICATIONS
At Oploria, we prioritise user choice and transparency—especially when it comes to mobile communications. In line with Nigeria’s Data Protection Act (NDPA 2023) and relevant Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) guidelines, we do not send SMS messages without your clear and voluntary consent.
If you provide your mobile phone number through a contact form, interactive tool, or quiz on our site, you may be presented with the option to receive SMS communications from Oploria. This option will always include a description of the type of messages you may receive, and you will be asked to confirm your agreement through an explicit action, such as ticking a checkbox.
By choosing to opt in, you give us permission to send occasional SMS notifications. These may include updates about the Nigerian job market, reminders about new features on our site, or relevant promotional alerts. Participation in this service is entirely optional, and you are not required to submit your mobile number or agree to receive SMS messages in order to use or access any section of the Oploria platform.
B. WITHDRAWING CONSENT
You may withdraw your consent to receive SMS messages from Oploria at any time. To opt out, simply reply to any message with the word “STOP”. Upon receiving your request, we will promptly remove your number from our communication list.
Alternatively, you can contact us directly at https://oploria.com/contact to update your preferences or request removal from our SMS list. Our team will handle your request promptly and without unnecessary steps or delay.
Oploria complies fully with Nigerian data protection and direct marketing laws. All unsubscribe requests are respected without penalty, and we do not charge any fee to opt in or out of SMS communications. Your phone number will never be used for unsolicited contact beyond the scope of the consent you provide.
III. Why We Collect and How We Use Your Information
At Oploria, every piece of data collected has a defined purpose. Our goal is to offer a safe, efficient, and user-focused experience while ensuring that your privacy remains protected. We use the information we collect to maintain the platform, better understand our audience, and adapt to user needs without compromising confidentiality.
3.1 Ensuring Platform Stability and Functionality
We rely on technical data to keep the site operating effectively across different devices and browsers. Information such as your browser version, screen resolution, and loading speed helps us identify performance issues, resolve technical glitches, and improve compatibility. These insights allow us to deliver a faster and more stable user experience.
3.2 Adapting Content to User Interaction
Usage patterns help us recognise how visitors navigate and engage with our pages. By observing what content is viewed and how users interact with features, we can reorganise layouts, highlight relevant sections, and tailor the site’s structure in ways that feel intuitive and supportive.
3.3 Monitoring Engagement to Improve Clarity
We examine behaviour metrics like scroll depth, page duration, and click activity to assess how effectively our content communicates. These analytics reveal where users are finding value—and where they may be losing interest—so we can refine our content to make it clearer and more impactful.
3.4 Developing and Refining Site Features
Insights gathered from site interactions and voluntary feedback guide our ongoing improvements. Whether it’s enhancing navigation, redesigning pages, or introducing new utilities, all upgrades are based on the actual needs and behaviours of our readers.
3.5 Handling Direct Communication
When you reach out through a form or feedback tool, the information you provide enables us to respond appropriately. We may use your message to address a technical issue, clarify a concern, or follow up to ensure your query was resolved to your satisfaction.
3.6 Email Communications and Notifications
If you opt into our mailing list, we may occasionally send you platform news, article recommendations, or other relevant updates. Every email includes a clear unsubscribe link, giving you full control over whether or not to continue receiving messages from us.
3.7 Strengthening Security and Preventing Abuse
We use collected data to detect irregular usage, prevent fraudulent activity, and protect the platform against misuse. Behavioural signals and system alerts help us safeguard both the website’s integrity and the safety of our users.
Our approach to data use is grounded in accountability, necessity, and respect. We apply strict internal standards and regularly evaluate our methods to ensure that user trust is upheld and privacy obligations are met.
Cookie Notice for Oploria
This notice explains how Oploria, available at https://oploria.com/, employs cookies, what information those cookies collect, how they enhance your visit, and the choices you have regarding their use. It also clarifies the consequences that may follow if certain cookies are restricted or removed.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit. They store information about your activity and preferences so that the site can recognise your device during later sessions. Like many modern online services, Oploria relies on cookies to deliver an efficient, personalised, and secure experience.
Why We Use Cookies
Cookies enable the platform to remember returning visitors and retain settings such as language or layout, ensure smoother navigation, and measure page responsiveness. They also help us understand how articles and tools are being used, which guides improvements to structure and performance. In addition, certain cookies strengthen security by spotting irregular behaviour that may signal malicious activity. Advertising cookies permit us to present promotional content that aligns more closely with broad user interests.
Categories of Cookies Employed
- Essential cookies keep core functions running. They allow pages to load correctly, support secure log-in procedures, and ensure that the platform operates as intended. Without these files, basic site features may become unavailable.
- Preference cookies store individual choices such as language selection, region, or interface configuration. By recalling these settings, the site feels more familiar each time you return.
- Analytics cookies collect aggregated statistics about visitor behaviour. Metrics such as time spent on an article, clicks on specific links, or frequency of page visits help us refine content and identify technical faults that could impact usability.
- Security cookies monitor usage patterns to detect suspicious actions, protect user accounts, and respond promptly to potential threats, thereby safeguarding the integrity of the platform.
- Advertising cookies record anonymous data about how advertisements are displayed and interacted with. They help gauge campaign effectiveness while allowing our partners to present content that is generally relevant. Some advertising partners place their own cookies, and their data practices are explained in their individual privacy policies.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Most internet browsers give you the ability to inspect, block, or delete cookies whenever you wish. Disabling essential cookies can prevent certain areas of the platform from functioning, while restricting preference cookies may stop the site from remembering your settings, leading to a less tailored experience. Opting out of analytics cookies can reduce the accuracy of insights we rely on for performance upgrades. Blocking advertising cookies will not remove adverts entirely, but the messages you see may be less aligned with your interests.
To adjust your settings, consult the help section of your chosen browser for detailed instructions. Being informed about how cookies work empowers you to balance privacy considerations with the convenience offered by Oploria’s key features.
Cookies in Use on Oploria
Cookies are an important part of how Oploria delivers a reliable, secure, and user-friendly experience. Below is a breakdown of the types of cookies active on our platform and their intended purpose.
Login and Account Management Cookies
These cookies support user authentication processes, help maintain login sessions across pages, and allow for smooth navigation once you’re signed in. If you’ve created an account or logged into a user-specific section, these cookies ensure the site recognises your session. Most are cleared upon logout, though some may remain briefly to retain settings that improve your next visit.
Email Subscription Cookies
When you sign up for email updates or newsletters, cookies are used to manage those preferences. They track your interaction with previous communications and help determine the frequency or relevance of future updates. This ensures that the emails you receive reflect your interests and engagement level.
Form and Survey Participation Cookies
To simplify your participation in surveys or form-based features, cookies store temporary responses and prevent repeat submissions. This helps streamline the process, avoid duplication, and may retain form data briefly to save you time during follow-up interactions.
Interface and Preference Cookies
These cookies retain visual and layout preferences such as language settings, theme options, or preferred content views. They are designed to create a consistent experience each time you access the site, adapting the interface to your previous selections without requiring you to reconfigure anything.
External Service Cookies
We collaborate with third-party service providers to assist with analytics, system performance, and advertising. These providers may set their own cookies within our environment in order to deliver specific functions. Oploria does not control the content of those cookies, but they serve essential roles in site functionality.
Analytics and Usage Tracking Cookies
Cookies from platforms like Google Analytics collect general data on how users interact with the site, including time on page, navigation patterns, and areas of interest. This aggregated information helps us monitor technical performance and refine content to better meet user expectations. To learn how Google processes this data, please consult their public documentation.
Feature Testing and Development Cookies
When rolling out new features or making updates, temporary cookies are used to monitor how those changes perform. These cookies track user interaction during test phases and assist in identifying issues before full implementation, helping us maintain overall site stability.
Advertising and Interest-Based Cookies
Certain cookies from advertising partners allow the display of promotions that are more likely to align with user interests. These may track general browsing behaviour to improve ad relevance and help measure campaign performance. You can manage your ad preferences through your browser settings or use tools like Google’s Ad Settings or www.aboutads.info to tailor or opt out of interest-based ads.

IV. Protection of Personal Information
At Oploria, safeguarding your personal information is a core responsibility. We do not sell, lease, or exchange your personal data with third parties under any circumstances. In limited cases, we may share non-identifiable, aggregated data with selected partners for analytical purposes, such as enhancing platform features, evaluating performance, or understanding user trends. This shared information contains no personal identifiers and cannot be traced back to any individual.
You may opt out of this type of anonymous data usage at any point. If you wish to adjust your preferences or request additional information about how data is handled, you can do so by contacting us through the form available at https://oploria.com/contact.
We apply multiple layers of protection to help keep personal data secure. These measures include the use of encrypted protocols for data transmission, role-based access restrictions within our team, and continuous monitoring for unusual or unauthorised system activity. Security settings are regularly reviewed, and we carry out internal assessments to close vulnerabilities and improve defence mechanisms.
Although we make every effort to protect user data, no digital platform is completely immune to risks. If a security breach or unauthorised access were to occur, Oploria will respond swiftly to investigate the incident, contain the impact, and follow all required procedures. If your personal data is affected, we will notify you promptly and provide clear guidance on protective steps you can take.
Our approach to privacy protection is not limited to system security. It also reflects the respect we have for every individual who uses our platform. Maintaining the trust of our readers is essential, and we remain fully committed to offering a secure, transparent, and privacy-conscious space for all users of Oploria.
V. Exercising Your Privacy Rights
5.1 Your Rights as a User
At Oploria, we believe every user has the right to understand how their personal data is collected, used, and stored. Whether you visit the site without submitting any personal details or interact through contact forms or subscriptions, you have the right to access the information we may hold about you.
You may also request corrections, place restrictions on how your data is processed, or ask for the removal of certain information entirely. While we aim to accommodate these requests, please note that in some situations, we may be required to retain specific records for legal compliance, operational continuity, or legitimate security purposes.
We are committed to providing the tools, information, and support necessary for you to manage your privacy choices clearly and confidently. Our priority is not only compliance with applicable laws but also a user experience that respects control and transparency.
5.2 Data Retention and Deletion
We only retain personal data for as long as it serves a clear and legitimate function. This includes facilitating access to the platform, addressing user inquiries, ensuring technical integrity, and helping us improve how the site performs.
For instance, we may temporarily keep your contact information to follow up on previous communications or unresolved support issues. Likewise, technical data used for system monitoring may be stored briefly to detect and prevent future disruptions. Once this data no longer serves a direct purpose, it is securely deleted or anonymized to ensure it cannot be traced back to you.
If you would like your personal information removed from our records, you may send a request via our contact form at https://oploria.com/contact. We will review your submission promptly and follow up with confirmation once the process is complete. If certain data must be retained for legal or administrative reasons, we will inform you accordingly.
Oploria is committed to protecting your privacy at every stage of your interaction with us. Our data-handling practices are designed to respect your rights, limit unnecessary retention, and manage personal information with care and accountability.
VI. Compliance with Nigeria’s Data Protection Act (NDPA)
Oploria complies with the principles and obligations outlined in Nigeria’s Data Protection Act (NDPA) of 2023, which governs the lawful collection, use, storage, and safeguarding of personal information across digital platforms. This legislation ensures that personal data is processed with accountability, transparency, and respect for individual rights.
We collect and process personal information solely for legitimate and clearly stated purposes. At each stage—whether during collection, processing, storage, or minimal third-party sharing—we operate under the principles of lawfulness, fairness, necessity, and data minimisation. Users have the right to know what data is being collected, why it is being used, and whether it will be shared with any external party.
Oploria respects your right to request access to the personal information we hold about you. You may also request correction of inaccurate data or deletion of certain information, provided there is no legal or regulatory reason requiring us to retain it.
To protect user data, we apply strict internal access controls and digital safeguards designed to prevent unauthorised access, accidental loss, or misuse of personal information. These security practices are aligned with the requirements set out by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC).
You also have the right, under the NDPA, to withdraw consent where applicable and to submit a formal complaint to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission if you believe your personal data has been mishandled or processed unlawfully.
If you wish to exercise your data rights, ask questions, or raise a concern about our privacy practices, please contact us through our support form at https://oploria.com/contact.
VII. Protection of Children’s Personal Information
Oploria is intended for a general audience and is not designed for individuals under the age of 18. In compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) of 2023, we do not knowingly collect, process, or store personal data from anyone under 18 years of age unless verified consent is obtained from a parent or legal guardian, where such consent is legally required.
We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s digital habits. Talking to minors about responsible internet use and the risks of sharing personal information online is essential for promoting a safer online environment.
If we discover that a person under 18 has submitted personal information to Oploria without proper consent from a guardian, we will act promptly to delete the data and prevent any further collection. Because it is not always possible to determine a user’s age in digital settings, we rely on timely notification from concerned adults to take appropriate action.
If you believe that a minor in your care has shared personal data with Oploria, please contact us through our official support page at https://oploria.com/contact. Our team will investigate and, if necessary, remove the information in accordance with NDPA requirements and our internal data protection procedures.
Oploria is firmly committed to respecting the privacy of all individuals, including children and teenagers. We apply specific safeguards to reduce the risk of processing data from users under the legal age threshold and regularly evaluate our privacy practices to align with Nigerian data protection standards.
VIII. Updates to This Privacy Notice
As Oploria continues to grow—whether by launching new features, improving services, or adapting to changes in technology or Nigerian data protection standards—this Privacy Notice may be updated to reflect our most current practices and responsibilities. Revisions may also be made to clarify existing terms or respond to new expectations introduced under the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) of 2023.
Whenever changes occur, the latest version of this Privacy Notice will always be made available on this page. If any revision significantly affects how personal information is collected, used, or shared, we will communicate those updates clearly and in a timely manner so that all users remain informed.
We encourage you to review this notice periodically to stay up to date on how your personal information is handled. Continued use of the site after a revision is published will be interpreted as acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with the changes made, you may choose to stop using the platform at any time.
