Verifying Your Identity on NiYA Gigs

At NiYA Gigs, maintaining a safe and secure platform is our top priority. To ensure transparency and trust within our community, we require freelancers to verify their identity using a valid government-issued ID. This process is aligned with Nigeria’s Data Protection Regulation (NDPR), which safeguards your privacy and personal data rights.

Steps for ID Verification:

  1. Upload Your ID: Provide a clear, high-quality photo of a government-issued ID, such as a passport, driver’s license, or national ID card. The document must be valid and unobstructed.
  2. Take a Real-Time Selfie: This ensures the ID belongs to you and prevents impersonation.
  3. Submit: Our secure platform will process your submission and confirm your identity.

How Your Data Is Protected:

  • We comply with NDPR by handling your data transparently and securely, ensuring it is used solely for verification purposes.
  • Your information will not be used for marketing or shared with third parties.
  • Data retention is limited to the duration necessary to meet legal and platform requirements.

For more information about NDPR compliance and your rights under the regulation, you can explore details through the Nigeria Data Protection Commission
