Who We Are
Our website address is: https://ediccrew.com.
Ediccrew, based in Lagos, Nigeria, is the data controller for your personal information. We handle data for our creative content platform, including user accounts, uploads, and interactions. Contact our data protection officer at info@ediccrew.com. This policy complies with Nigeria’s Data Protection Act (NDPA) and global standards like GDPR.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, plus the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After comment approval, your profile picture is public in that context.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid those with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience—no re-entry next time. These last one year.
On our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check browser acceptance (no personal data; discarded on close). Login sets cookies for info and display choices: login lasts two days, screen options one year. “Remember Me” extends login to two weeks; logout removes them. Editing/publishing an article sets a cookie with the post ID (no personal data; expires in 1 day).
We use a cookie consent banner for non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing). Manage via the banner or browser settings. Full details align with NDPA transparency.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images). It behaves as if you visited that site directly—these sites may collect data, use cookies, track interactions (especially if logged in there), and monitor via third parties.
Data We Collect
Beyond comments/media/cookies:
- Account: Name, email, profile.
- Content: Text, images, videos uploaded.
- Billing: Payment details (via Stripe).

Data minimization applies—we collect only essentials. See similar practices: ContentCrew.

How Long We Retain Your Data

- Accounts: Active use + 12-24 months; delete inactive after 24 months or on request (30 days).
NDPA storage limits followed: ContentCrew.
