On Naijathread, we want ads to work for you — not against you. Our goal is to make every ad you see relevant, useful, and tailored to your interests, while keeping you in full control of your privacy and experience. This page explains what Naijathread Ads are, why you see certain ads, and how we personalize them responsibly.

📢 What Are Naijathread Ads?

Ads on Naijathread may appear in different formats, including:

• Promoted Posts – Regular posts sponsored by brands, creators, or businesses that you might find interesting.
• Suggested Follows – Recommendations for accounts you may want to follow based on your interests and activity.
• Spotlight Features – Limited-time placements highlighting trending brands, events, or announcements.

All ads are clearly labeled with an “Ad” tag, so you’ll always know when something is promoted. You can like, comment, share, or follow just as you would with any regular post. If you engage with a promoted post, your followers may see your name linked to that interaction.

🎯 Why You See Certain Ads

We personalize ads based on a combination of:

• Your activity on Naijathread — such as posts you like, accounts you follow, and searches you make.
• Information you share with Naijathread — like your profile details or location settings.
• General device and browser details — such as your IP address, device type, or operating system.
• Insights from trusted advertising partners — such as a hashed email or anonymous device ID.

For example, if you follow sports discussions or engage with match highlights, you might see ads for upcoming games, jerseys, or sports gear. If you enable location services, we can show you local event promotions or region-specific offers.

⚙️ How We Personalize Ads

Personalization means we match ads to topics you’ve already shown interest in. This can include:

• Showing you deals from a store whose site you’ve visited.
• Recommending events based on communities you follow.
• Highlighting promotions from a brand whose newsletter you subscribe to.

Even with personalization on, we never sell your personal information to advertisers. We only share anonymized or aggregated data to help them reach the right audience.

🔒 Your Privacy & Control

You have full control over how ads are tailored for you. In your account’s Ad Settings, you can:

• Turn personalized ads on or off at any time.
• Manage topics and interests used for recommendations.
• Adjust location-based ad settings.
• Hide ads from specific advertisers you don’t want to see.

When you opt out of personalization, you’ll still see ads — but they’ll be less targeted and based on general factors like trending topics or popular content.

Our mission is to make Naijathread Ads helpful, relevant, and respectful of your privacy. For more information on how your data is handled, see our Privacy Policy.
