Quick answer: PrivacyGuard is a Chrome extension that blocks trackers, manages consent banners and exports a personal-data audit trail. For Nigerian users it aligns to the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and gives you clear consent logs you can cite when exercising NDPA data-subject rights. Free core; Pro tier at ₦1,500/month (prices in ₦ via useCountry()). Pay via Paystack, Flutterwave, Opay or bank transfer.

Why Nigerian users need a privacy layer

Nigeria passed the NDPA in 2023; the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) is enforcing. But enforcement mostly targets controllers, not end users. PrivacyGuard gives the end user the tooling: block analytics and ad-network trackers by default, keep a log of consent decisions, and export a dossier if you want to submit a data-subject access request to a Nigerian controller.

How it works

Browser extension (Chrome, Edge, Brave). Ships with a curated block-list, a consent-banner normaliser (so you stop clicking 'accept all' by accident) and a data-subject-request generator pre-populated for NDPC. Optional cloud sync across devices.

Pricing in naira

Free tier covers core blocking and consent management. Pro (₦1,500/month or ₦14,000/year) adds cloud sync, priority block-list updates and the Nigerian data-subject request automation. Prices via useCountry().

Payments

Paystack, Flutterwave, Opay, Palmpay, Visa/Mastercard/Verve, bank transfer via NIBSS.

Cities

Desktop-first product; usage is skewed to major urban workforce hubs (Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan) where professional-browser workflows dominate.

How we compare

uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger are excellent open-source alternatives and we recommend them over nothing. Our wedge: Nigerian-regulator awareness, consent-management normalisation, and the NDPA data-subject request helper. Power users can keep uBlock; PrivacyGuard stacks cleanly alongside it.
