Your privacy is important to us. Accordingly, we have developed this Policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate, disclose and make use of personal information. The following outlines our privacy policy.
Please read this policy carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
WHO IS THIS POLICY ADDRESSED TO?
For the purpose of data protection legislation including the EU General Data Protection Regulation ('GDPR'), the data controller of your personal data is Empass Learning Private Ltd registered at G-72, Second Floor, South City-II, Gurugram - 122018, Haryana, INDIA (an MCA registered company with CIN U72500HR2017PTC070286 and known as Empass).
When we refer in this policy to 'you', we are referring to a customer of our services, or a person visiting and or using our website, mobile apps.
If you are a contact on our list and have not yet used any services offered by Empass and would like to cease receiving emails from us, please unsubscribe directly using the unsubscribe link in the email message, or contact the customer directly.
We will collect and use of personal information solely with the objective of fulfilling those purposes specified by us and for other compatible purposes, unless we obtain the consent of the individual concerned or as required by law.
Before or at the time of collecting personal information, we will identify the purposes for which information is being collected. We will make readily available to customers information about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information.
We will only retain personal information as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes. We will collect personal information by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the individual concerned.
Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used, and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
We will protect personal information by reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
We are committed to conducting our business in accordance with these principles in order to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained.
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
We collect information from you when you register on our site, mobile apps, subscribe to our newsletter, login with your social media accounts or fill out an online form.
When registering on our mobile app or our website, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your name, e-mail address, demographic information, mailing address, mobile and telephone number, employment information and credit card information.
Like most websites, we use cookies and/or web beacons to enhance your experience, gather general visitor information, and track visits to our Service.
WHAT DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION FOR?
Any information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:
Should you decide, at any time after subscription, that you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails or app updates, we have included a detailed unsubscribe instructors at the bottom of each email.
With the usage of the Empass website, mobile apps on iOS, Android or other devices, it is explicitly understood that the best method of usage for any mobile app is performed over a Wi-Fi connection. Although you may use the app with your mobile data plan, your wireless carrier may charge you fees if your mobile data plan is exceeded because of your use of the app(s) when not on Wi-Fi. No matter which method you use to connect to our mobile app and platform, the apps and services we provided come with the disclaimer of "use at your own risk" and services are provided "as-is."
With respect to capturing your demographic information and/or text, voice, video responses on mobile or web apps as well as through contact forms or contest forms in the app or website, Empass Learning will NOT sell your demographic information to third parties or use your personally identifiable information for any other purpose for what the information is intended when it is requested.
Any personally identifiable information (PII) you submit through our web site(s), or mobile apps, are used solely for assessments, quizzes, contests and digital promotion purposes.
On Contact Us forms or request for demo forms, personally identifiable information is only used internally to disseminate your message to the correct department so that the message you submit to reaches the proper destination. For personally identifiable information you submit via the mobile apps or our online web site(s), the demographic information captured is only stored internally or visible to clients who sponsor the specific contests, learning courses and job opportunities to you under a paid and contracted relationship with Empass Learning.
On registration you agree to:
You may remove yourself from the promotional mailer, email and mobile database and make yourself non-searchable by writing to us on play@empasslearning.com
HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?
We implement variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you register, play a game, buy a product or service from our mobile apps or websites to safeguard your personal information.
We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted before being passed onto any Payment gateway providers database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.
After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will remain secure and not be shared or used anywhere without your permission.
PAYMENT INFORMATION
When using our paid service, you will be asked for financial details such as credit/debit card information. Our payment processor, Razorpay, carries out the processing of these payments. We do not store any credit or debit card information on our servers. Razorpay Software Pvt. Ltd. has been validated for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) 3.2 compliance by ControlCase. Their security assurances and Privacy policy is available on their website (www.razorpay.com)
We might use other payment providers in future for international currency payments and the chosen provider will undergo rigorous checks to ensure that the security of your information and money transacted is handled professionally and suitably.
RETARGETING
Our website uses retargeted advertising provided by Facebook and Google. As a result of this retargeting, you may see ads for our services on other sites such as Facebook. This happens in one of two ways:
One way is that our retargeting provider will read a cookie that is already in your browser, or they will place an anonymous cookie or 'pixel' in your browser when you visit our site. This can only happen if your browser is set to let it happen - you can control your settings in your browser to stop this.
The other method of retargeting is to use your email address to match Empass ads to you when you browse other sites. This involves us sharing your email address with Facebook and Google. This form of retargeting is generally used to update you on new functionality added to the Empass platform.
Conversely, we also use Facebook to ensure that we don't present some Empass ads to our existing customers. Again, this involves our sharing your email address with Facebook.
LOCATION OF YOUR DATA
Your PII and data is stored on the secure servers of Amazon Web Services ("AWS"). We don't, under any circumstances, sell or share your data. If someone complains or contacts us, only then will we respond to that person. Only you, and our authorised employees, have access to view your marketing lists.
You may export (download) your PII data from Empass at any time. We'll only ever use and disclose the information in your data for the reasons listed in this section or in the section entitled "How we use your personal information" above.
We will rarely use or disclose the information in your personally identifiable data to send our own informational and promotional content. We may also be required to disclose it to law enforcement or regulatory bodies. We will only do so if legally required.
We may conduct analysis on your use of the service and the results generated by your emails sent by means of the service. This analysis is conducted solely on an aggregated and anonymised basis.

These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.
