1. What We Collect
OpenWatch Nigeria is a public security intelligence platform. We collect minimal personal data:
- API Usage: We log IP addresses and request counts for rate limiting. No personal identifiers are stored beyond what is needed for rate enforcement.
- Analytics: We use Vercel Analytics to collect anonymous usage data (page views, device type). No personal identifiers are tracked.
- Incident Data: All security incident data is sourced from publicly available news reports. No user-submitted reports are collected.
2. How We Use Your Data
- To enforce API rate limits and prevent abuse
- To improve the platform and fix bugs
- We never sell, share, or rent your personal data to third parties
3. Data Storage
Data is stored on Supabase (hosted on AWS) with row-level security enabled. API usage logs are automatically purged after 7 days.
4. Third-Party Services
- Supabase: Database and authentication
- Vercel: Hosting and analytics
- OpenAI: Incident extraction from news articles (no user data is sent)
