We may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the operation and security of the website and, where applicable, to understand how readers use BALOGUN REPORT.

We may use reputable third-party providers to support services including:

- other technical services.
These providers may process personal information on our behalf or as independent controllers, depending on the service involved.
BALOGUN REPORT uses Ghost as its publishing platform and may use other integrated services from time to time.
International Data Transfers
Because BALOGUN REPORT serves a global audience and uses international service providers, personal information may be processed in countries other than the country in which you live.
Where required, appropriate legal safeguards will be used for international transfers of personal information.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, regulatory, accounting, security and operational requirements.
Where information is no longer required, it will be deleted, anonymised or otherwise securely disposed of as appropriate.
Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
No online service can guarantee absolute security, but we seek to use appropriate safeguards proportionate to the nature of the information we process.
Your Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:
- request access to information we hold about you;
- request correction of inaccurate information;
- request deletion in appropriate circumstances;
- object to or restrict certain processing;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
- request transfer of certain information; and
- complain to an appropriate data-protection authority.
These rights may be subject to legal limitations and exemptions.

BALOGUN REPORT is not intended to collect personal information knowingly from children without appropriate legal authority or consent.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us improperly, please contact us.
