Privacy policy.

This policy applies to everyone who uses CelebrateThem: the person creating a tribute, the family they name, the people who visit to read, sign, or donate. It covers the website, any emails we send you, and any CelebrateThem app you sign in to.

From you directly:

• Your email address and password, when you create an account.
• Anything you put into a tribute: names, dates, a life story, photos, audio, video.
• Messages, candles, and donations you add to tributes.
• Card payment details, which you give to Paystack or Flutterwave, not to us. We only see whether a payment succeeded.

From your device:

• The IP address your browser uses, the browser and device type, the pages you visit, and the time you visited. We use this for security and to understand how the site is used.
• Cookies: the small ones that keep you signed in, and the ones you allowed in the cookie banner.

To give you an account. To publish your tribute. To send the messages and photos you post. To take payments. To answer your questions when you email us. To send transactional emails such as payment receipts and new message notifications. If you opted in, to send occasional product update emails, which you can turn off any time.

A short, complete list. We do not add to it without telling you.

• Supabase. Stores our database and uploaded files. Based in the United States.
• Paystack and Flutterwave. Process card payments. Based in Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
• Resend (or our current transactional email provider). Sends the emails you get from us.
• Plausible. Anonymous analytics if you agreed to it in the cookie banner. No personal data leaves the site.
• Law enforcement. Only if they send us a valid court order, and only what that order requires.

We never sell anything about you. We never share with advertisers. That is not what this place is for.

See the cookie banner for what each category does and how to change your choice. Essential cookies stay on because the site doesn’t work without them.

You can ask us to:

• Show you a copy of everything we hold about you.
• Correct anything that is wrong.
• Delete your account and the data tied to it.
• Export your tribute’s content as a download.
• Stop sending you product update emails.

Email privacy@celebratethem.ng. We reply within seven working days.

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access is restricted to named staff with two-factor authentication. We review access quarterly. In the event of a data breach that affects you, we will tell you within seventy-two hours of finding it, as the NDPR requires.

Tributes stay up for as long as the account that created them is active. Payment records are kept for seven years for tax and accounting. Analytics data is aggregated and not tied to your identity. If you close your account, we delete your profile within thirty days; tributes you created stay up unless you ask us to take them down.

Accounts are for people aged eighteen and above. If we learn that someone younger has created an account, we will close it and delete the data.

CelebrateThem is a Nigerian service but our storage providers operate servers in other countries. By using the service you consent to your data being transferred and stored outside Nigeria, with the protections listed above.
