ALL USER DATA/INFORMATION ARE HANDLED ACCORDING TO THE GDPR STANDARDS.
The Igbos App fully meets GDPR standards, giving users the ability to delete accounts, download all data anytime from general settings, and much more. And we will never share or sell personal data to any third party without the user’s consent.
Note Also that The Igbos is a Family rated platform, and so restrictions on explicit fashion/nudity, use of foul languages, swear words, are not allowed, and are censored/deleted as the case may be. We are rewriting what moral standards mean.
