Privacy Policy

Who we are

Observe Reality is an online publication and research service operated by GAYATEK NATION AND MEDIA, a business name registered in Nigeria (Business Name Registration Number BN 3542583). We are the data controller for the personal information described here.

Address: 3B, Flat 1, Anie Nzekwe Close, Victory Estate Inside Thomas Estate, Ajah, Lagos State, Nigeria.

Privacy contact: support@observereality.com.

Information we collect

• Account details: your name and email address, and a securely stored password.
• Your activity: items you save and questions you submit as explorations.
• Membership details: your plan and its status. Card payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
• Basic technical information needed to keep the service running securely.
• Observe Reality is intended only for people aged 18 or over.

How we use it, and our lawful basis

We process personal data under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023. For each use, we rely on the following lawful bases:

• Providing your account, saved items, explorations and membership: performance of our contract with you.
• Billing records and tax and accounting obligations: compliance with a legal obligation.
• Keeping the service secure, preventing fraud and enforcing usage limits: our legitimate interests, which we balance against your rights.
• Marketing emails, if you choose to receive them: your consent.

Emails we send

We send account confirmation, password reset, billing, security and essential service emails as needed to operate the service. We do not send marketing emails unless you have separately opted in, and you can withdraw that consent at any time.

Who we share it with

We use the following service providers. They process information only to provide their service to us. We do not sell your personal information.

• Lovable: website hosting, account sign-in, database storage and account emails.
• Stripe: payment processing and subscription billing.
• Parallel: web research. Your exploration question is sent to find public sources.
• Lovable AI, which currently passes requests to OpenAI: writing exploration summaries from your question and the sources found.

Transfers outside Nigeria

Some of these providers process data outside Nigeria. Where personal data is transferred to another country, we will only do so where the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 permits it, for example where the destination provides an adequate level of protection or another lawful transfer condition under the Act applies. We record the basis for each transfer.

How long we keep it

• Account records are kept while your account is active and for a reasonable period after closure where necessary for security, dispute resolution, fraud prevention and legal obligations.
• Exploration history and saved content are kept while your account is active. They may be deleted when you delete the content or close your account, subject to necessary backups and legal obligations.
• Billing and transaction records are kept for the period required by applicable Nigerian tax, accounting and other legal requirements.

Your rights

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, you have the right to:

• be told how your personal data is used;
• access a copy of your personal data;
• have inaccurate data corrected and, in some cases, deleted;
• ask us to restrict how we use your data;
• withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent;
• object to certain uses, including direct marketing;
• receive your data in a commonly used format, where applicable;
• not be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that significantly affect you.

To use these rights, write to support@observereality.com. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission.
