Privacy Policy

While we have a Privacy Policy, there will still be some people who are not comfortable disclosing personal information to become a MAP Education & Visa Services user. It is possible to register for a MAP Education & Visa Services account using a pseudonym (or “nym”) – a different name – if you are uncomfortable disclosing your real name. So you can choose your own name, which might be “Mary Jane” or “James Stark”, and that will be what we call you. We won’t know who you really are, but we will still be able to determine what you enjoy most about our website, so we can offer you a tailored and enjoyable online experience.

PRINCIPLES FOR USING SENSITIVE INFORMATION

A high level of protection is required for “special categories” of particularly sensitive personal information.This type of personal information needs to be justified further before it can be collected, stored, and used.Under the following circumstances, we may process special categories of personal information:

1. When you agree to it in writing.
2. For the purpose of carrying out our legal obligations
3. In certain circumstances we may process this type of information in the public interest, such as when it is requested by CBI, police or governmental authorities, or when it is relevant to legal claims, where you are not capable of consenting, or where you have publicly disclosed the information.

In accordance with the GDPR, we will use your personal data only in accordance with the following principles:

1. Fairness, lawfulness, and transparency
2. Limitation of purposes
3. Minimization of data
4. Precision
5. Limitation of storage space
6. Integrity and confidentiality

These are the only principles that explicitly cover security.Under GDPR, personal data must be “processed in a way that ensures appropriate security of the data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing, and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures.”.Since technological and organisational best practices are constantly changing, the GDPR is purposely vague about what measures organisations should take.Currently, organizations should encrypt and/or pseudonymise personal data wherever possible, but they should also consider other options if they are feasible.
