Privacy Policy

Your data.
Handled with care.

Last updated: January 2025

We built WALLS to be the kind of product we'd trust with our own data. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and what you can do about it. Plain language, no jargon.

We use cookies and similar technologies. See our Cookie Policy for full details. In summary:

  • Essential cookies — required for login sessions and security. Cannot be disabled.
  • Preference cookies — remember settings like theme and filters. Required for those features to work.
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand product usage. Optional, opt-out available in settings.

05

International Data Transfers

WALLS is operated from Nigeria. Your data may be processed and stored on servers located outside your country of residence, including in countries with different data protection laws than your own. Where this occurs, we rely on our service providers' compliance with recognised safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses where applicable. By using WALLS, you consent to this transfer, storage, and processing.

06

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
  • Correction — request we fix inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Deletion — request we delete your account and personal data
  • Portability — export your uploaded content and account data
  • Restriction — ask us to limit how we process your data
  • Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests
To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@walls.ovrica.name.ng. We respond within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

07

Data Retention

We keep your personal data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account:

  • Your profile and personal data are deleted within 30 days
  • Your uploaded wallpapers are removed from the public feed immediately
  • Aggregate anonymised analytics data may be retained indefinitely
  • We may retain certain data longer where required by law (e.g. financial records)

08

Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), encrypted storage for sensitive fields, and access controls limiting who can access user data internally. We conduct regular security reviews.

No system is perfectly secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at security@walls.ovrica.name.ng.

09

Children

WALLS is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected data from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will delete it promptly. If you believe this has occurred, contact us at privacy@walls.ovrica.name.ng.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make significant changes, we will notify you by email or via a prominent notice in the app before the changes take effect. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when the policy was last revised.
