This Privacy Policy explains how the UP Khadi Skill Development mobile application (“App”) handles information when users access its skill-development and related administrative services. The App is operated/maintained for its authorized programme functions, with technical support provided by Mectoi Technologies Private Limited.
1. Information handled by the App
Depending on the service, user role and workflow, the App may handle information entered by users or made available through authorized programme systems, including:
- account and sign-in information and user/role identifiers;
- applicant, trainee or programme-related details submitted through the service;
- contact information such as name, mobile number and address where required by a workflow;
- application, training, batch, attendance, status and related programme records;
- documents, certificates, photographs or images selected or captured where a workflow requires them;
- precise or approximate device location when a geotagging/location-enabled feature is used and permission has been granted; and
- technical information necessary to communicate with the application servers and provide requested functionality.
Some programme workflows may display or process additional information already associated with an authorized record. Such information is used only as necessary to provide the relevant application functionality and programme service.
2. Device permissions
The App may request the following Android permissions. Permission availability does not mean that the App continuously accesses the corresponding data.
- Internet: to connect to application servers and retrieve or submit authorized data.
- Location (precise/approximate): for geotagging/location-based features. Location is accessed when required by the relevant feature and subject to the user's device permission.
- Camera: to capture photographs required by supported workflows, such as batch or programme-related photographs.
- Photos/images or storage: to allow a user to select or work with images/documents required by supported workflows. The exact permission used depends on the Android version.
3. How information is used
Information is used to provide and administer the App and its authorized skill-development workflows, authenticate or identify authorized users, process programme activities, maintain relevant records, enable geotagging and photo/document functions where required, communicate with backend services, provide support, and protect the security and integrity of the service.
4. Sharing and disclosure
Information may be made available to authorized programme/department personnel, authorized service providers or technical operators where necessary to operate, maintain, secure or support the service, or where disclosure is required by applicable law or a competent authority. We do not state that information is sold to third parties.
5. Data security
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
6. Data retention
Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant programme, administrative, legal, security and record-keeping purposes, subject to applicable departmental requirements and law.
7. User choices and permissions
Android permissions such as camera, photos/images and location can be controlled through device settings. Disabling a permission may prevent features that depend on that permission from working correctly.
8. Data access, correction and deletion requests
Where applicable, users may contact the service/department through the contact information below regarding correction, access or deletion of information. Requests may be subject to identity verification, applicable law, government/departmental record-retention requirements, and the nature of the programme record.
9. Children's privacy
The App is intended for authorized users and eligible users of the relevant programme/services. It is not designed to knowingly collect children's information outside the requirements of an authorized programme or applicable law. Any age-related eligibility requirements are governed by the relevant programme/service.
10. Third-party services and external links
The App may communicate with authorized backend systems or provide links/integration necessary for programme functionality. External services may have their own privacy practices. Users should review the applicable policies where relevant.
11. Changes to this policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes to the App, programme requirements, legal requirements or privacy practices. The current version will be published on this page and the “Last updated” date will be revised.
