    1. Mobile Device Data. We automatically collect device information (such as your mobile device ID, model, and manufacturer), operating system, version information and system configuration information, device and application identification numbers, browser type and version, hardware model Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, and Internet Protocol (IP) address (or proxy server). If you are using our application(s), we may also collect information about the phone network associated with your mobile device, your mobile device’s operating system or platform, the type of mobile device you use, your mobile device’s unique device ID, and information about the features of our application(s) you accessed.

    This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our application(s), for troubleshooting, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
    All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information


    2. HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?


    In Short: We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you, for security and fraud prevention, and to comply with law. We may also process your information for other purposes with your consent


    We process your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with our Services, including:

    1. To facilitate account creation and authentication and otherwise manage user accounts. We may process your information so you can create and log in to your account, as well as keep your account in working order.


    3. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?


    In Short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following third parties.


    We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:

    1. Affiliates. We may share your information with our affiliates, in which case we will require those affiliates to honour this privacy Policy. Affiliates include Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship and its divisions, joint venture partners, or other companies that we control or that are under common control with us.

    4. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?


    In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy Policy unless otherwise required by law.

    We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

    When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible

    5. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

    In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organisational and technical security measures.

    We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorised third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data, we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at nimimobileapps@gmail.com.


    7. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

    In Short: You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.

    8. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

    Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ('DNT') feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals has been finalised. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy Policy.

    9. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS POLICY?

    In Short: Yes, we will update this Policy as necessary to stay compliant with relevant laws.

    We may update this privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated 'Revised' date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes to this privacy Policy, we may notify you either by prominently posting a Policy of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this privacy Policy frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
