Privacy Policy
Last updated: 28-07-2026
This Privacy Policy explains how JapaMeter ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit japameter.com and app.japameter.com (the "Sites"). By using the Sites, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Who we are
JapaMeter is an online platform that provides immigration information guides for Nigerians and a free self-assessment tool (the "Japa Score") that estimates emigration readiness for destinations including Canada, the UK, the USA, Germany, and Australia.
2. Information we collect
a) Information you provide to the Japa Score tool
When you use the Japa Score tool, you enter information such as your age range, education level, work experience, available funds, travel history, and intended destination. This information is used **only** to calculate and display your score during your session. We do not require you to sign up, and we do not ask for your name, passport number, or contact details to generate a score.
b) Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our servers and third-party providers may automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring website. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 4).
c) Information you send us directly**
If you email us, we receive your email address and the contents of your message so we can respond.
3. How we use information
We use information to:
- Calculate and display your Japa Score;
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Sites;
- Understand how visitors use our content so we can create better guides;
- Display advertising that helps keep our content free;
- Respond to your enquiries.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to run the Sites, remember preferences, measure traffic, and serve advertising.
Advertising cookies (Google AdSense):
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our Sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting **Google Ads Settings** (https://adssettings.google.com).

We recommend reviewing **Google's Privacy & Terms** (https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites) for how Google uses data from sites that use its services.
5. Analytics
We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate visitor behaviour. These tools may set cookies and collect anonymised usage data. We do not use this data to personally identify you.
6. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers who help us operate the Sites (e.g. hosting, analytics, advertising partners);
- Authorities where required by law.
7. Data retention
Japa Score inputs are processed to generate your result and are not tied to a personal account. Email correspondence is kept as long as needed to handle your enquiry.
8. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, email us at [support@japameter.com].
9. Children
The Sites are not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
10. Third-party links
Our guides may link to external websites (e.g. official government immigration pages). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
