Temu vows compliance as NDPC probes data practices

-

In February 2026, the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) launched an investigation into the global e-commerce platform Temu regarding alleged violations of the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDP Act) 2023.

Key Details of the Probe

Triggering Concerns: The investigation focuses on potential online surveillance, lack of accountability, and failure to meet data minimization and transparency requirements.

Affected Scale: Preliminary findings indicate Temu processes the personal information of approximately 12.7 million Nigerian users.

 Temu has publicly stated it will cooperate with the NDPC's inquiry and maintains that privacy is a core value. The NDPC warned that third-party processors (e.g., payment gateways and logistics firms) could also be held liable if they engage with platforms that do not verify their compliance with the NDP Act.

If found in violation, Temu could face substantial fines or a temporary suspension of its operations in Nigeria.

In the same vein, Temu faces multiple lawsuits from U.S. state attorneys general (Arizona, Nebraska, Arkansas, Kentucky) alleging that the app engages in extensive, unauthorized data harvesting, including, but not limited to, precise location, microphone/camera access, and private data from other apps.

Investigations allege the app hides these practices, posing risks of sharing user data with the Chinese government, though Temu has denied these allegations.

In September 2025, Temu reached a $2 million settlement with the FTC over violations of the INFORM Consumers Act, specifically regarding its failure to properly identify high-volume third-party sellers.

As of 2026, investigations and lawsuits regarding user privacy are ongoing, making it a subject of high scrutiny among U.S. officials.

  White House   press secretary   Karoline Leavitt    on Wednesday has criticized  the media, Democrats, and likely some   Republicans   in the House and Senate for trying to “sow chaos” in the White House with their response to the   Signal   text chain debacle. Leavitt was asked by a reporter if she would definitively say that no one would be fired after a journalist was accidentally added to a Signal thread with top U.S. officials discussing military plans. Leavitt said, "What I can say definitively is what I just spoke to the president about, and he continues to have confidence in his  national security team ." Meanwhile, CNN's Collins attempted to ask the press secretary a follow-up question, but was quickly cut off by Leavitt, who called on another reporter in the room.

  President Trump signed an executive order targeting the ticket reselling industry during a signing ceremony from the White House. The new order will allow the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to go after the reselling industry, which has used computer bots and algorithms to buy large blocks of tickets and resell them at extremely higher prices.  Musician Kid Rock, who also appeared at the Republican National Convention last July, was present at the signing in the Oval Office.  The president also took several questions from the press, including on the possibility of additional sanctions on Russia, immigration, and tariffs. “I’ve spoken to him over the years about it and it bothers him,” Trump said about Kid Rock during the executive order’s signing. “It bothers a lot of other artists. They go out with a $100 ticket, and it sells for $2,000 the following night.” Trump admitted that he hadn’t known much about price gouging, “but I checked it out, and it is a...
