Privacy Policy
Last updated: [10/03/2026]
This policy explains what personal data JambSmartPrep (jambsmartprep.com) collects, how we use it, who we share it with and the choices you have. We process personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA). If you have questions, email [sm************@***il.com].
Who we are
JambSmartPrep is an independent educational website run by Freya Amelia from Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. For this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” mean JambSmartPrep.
What we collect
Information you give us
- Contact form messages: your name, email address and message.
- Comments: the name, email and optional website you enter, plus your comment.
- Accounts and forums: if you register, your username, email address, password (stored encrypted) and any profile details or posts you add.
- Practice activity: your subject choices, answers, scores and progress in the CBT practice, so you can track improvement. If you practise without an account, this may be stored only in your browser.
Information collected automatically
- Log data: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited and the date and time of your visit. Our hosting provider records this for security and performance.
- Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored on your device. See the cookie and advertising sections below.
We do not ask for your JAMB profile password, registration PIN, BVN, NIN or bank card details, and we never will.
How we use your information
- To run the website and the CBT practice, including saving your scores and progress.
- To reply to your messages and correction reports.
- To display and moderate comments and forum posts, and to block spam.
- To understand which pages and features are useful, so we can improve them.
- To show advertising that keeps the site free.
- To keep the site secure and comply with the law.
Our legal bases under the NDPA are your consent (for example, non-essential cookies), the performance of a service you request (for example, your account), our legitimate interests in running and improving the site, and legal obligations.
Cookies
We use cookies for these purposes:
| Type | Purpose | Can you turn it off? |

When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept, reject or customise non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings icon on the site, and you can delete cookies in your browser settings.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to show ads on this website.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

To learn more, read how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Where required, we ask for your consent before personalised ads are shown.
Analytics
[If you use Google Analytics, keep this paragraph; otherwise delete it.] We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. It collects information such as pages viewed, time on site and approximate location, using cookies. You can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.Who we share data with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with:
- Service providers that help us run the site, such as our hosting provider, email and form tools, spam protection and Gravatar (which may show a profile picture linked to your email in comments).
- Advertising and analytics partners, as described above.
- Authorities, when the law requires it or to protect our rights and users’ safety.
Some of these providers store data outside Nigeria. Where that happens, we rely on them to apply appropriate safeguards as required by the NDPA.
How long we keep data
- Contact messages: up to 12 months, then deleted.
- Comments and forum posts: until you or we remove them.
- Accounts and practice history: while your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete or anonymise its data within 30 days.
- Server logs: for a short period for security purposes.
Your rights
Under the NDPA, you have the right to:
- ask what personal data we hold about you and get a copy;
- correct inaccurate data;
- ask us to delete your data;
- object to or restrict certain processing;
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing;
- receive your data in a portable format; and

Children and young users
JambSmartPrep is designed for secondary school students, school leavers, parents and teachers. Users under 18 should use the site with the knowledge of a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use HTTPS encryption, secure hosting and access controls to protect your data. No method of online storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
