I. How We Collect and Use Your Personal Information
Educurrency firmly believes that the fundamental privacy rights should not differ depending on where you live in the world. Any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual, in particular by reference to the individual's name, identification number, location data, and online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental of that natural person will be treated as “Personal Information” by us, regardless of where such natural person lives.
We only collect the information that is necessary for specified, concrete, explicit and legitimate purposes and will ensure that the information is not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes. If we intend to use your personal information for other purposes not specified in this Policy, we will obtain your consent at that time.
We may collect your personal information by the following means: 1) information you provide directly to us (such as your nickname, profile picture, name and phone number you provide to us when you login to your account or take part in the promotion activity we held); 2) information we obtain automatically during your use of this Application (such as device information, service log information); 3) information we obtain from other sources.
You have the right to choose whether or not to provide the personal information when you use Educurrency and its Service or when we have requested. You are not required to provide your personal information to Educurrency, but in some cases, if you choose not to do so, we will not be able to provide you with related products or services, nor will we be able to respond or resolve the problems you've encountered. We will collect and use your personal information only for the purposes described in this Policy. The following describes your personal information that we collect:
Educurrency mainly provides you with comprehensive services including online information distribution, browsing, community interactive service, and movie information browsing.
III. How We Share, Transfer and Disclose Your Personal Information
When sharing, transferring, and disclosing your personal information, we uphold the principles and requirements of minimization, necessity, and legality. Under normal circumstances, we do not share, transfer or disclose your personal information externally. However, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, we may share, transfer and disclose your personal information in the following situations:
We do not sell any personal information to third parties. In order to provide you with timely services, your personal information may be shared with Educurrency’s affiliated companies. We will only share your information within Educurrency’s affiliated companies for legitimate and explicit purposes, and only share the information necessary to provide the services, and are bound by the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. If a purpose concerned is not included in this Policy, we will state it in the corresponding privacy policy or notice of the specific product or service.
We may share the necessary personal information with authorized third-party partners (including technical service providers, data storage service providers, after-sales service providers, marketing promotion service providers, third-party SDK service providers, etc.) for the performance of certain features or to provide you with better service and a better user experience. Specifically, (1) To improve the stability of this service and solve abnormal problems in a timely manner, this service integrates the Google firebase SDK to collect your mobile device information and breakdown log, which will be used to notify high-frequency breakdowns and other abnormal conditions for our in-time repair; (2) To help us count and analyze the use of products, this service accesses the Umeng SDK and use it to analyze your personal device information, browsing records, click records, IP addresses and other data. We will carry out strict security inspection to protect data security. We uphold the principles of minimization, necessity, and legality to carry out such sharing. Before sharing information, we will sign strict confidentiality agreements with authorized partners and require them to take relevant confidentiality and security measures to process personal information in accordance with this Policy and applicable laws in your jurisdiction. In addition, we will also require them to provide data security capabilities and information security qualifications (e.g., grade protection assessment, information security management system). When we embed the third party SDK or other similar applications of authorized partners in this Application, we will notify you promptly and request the SDK service provider that obtains the information to protect your data security.
In order to provide evaluation, analysis or other business services, we may also share your non-personal information with third parties. For example, we may use aggregated data to help partners (e.g., advertising service providers) understand the effectiveness, feedback and usage trends of their services.
In the event of a merger, acquisition or bankruptcy liquidation, asset transfer and other related transaction, if a personal information transfer is involved, we will require the new entity or organization holding your personal information to continue to be bound by this Policy through an agreement or other appropriate measures, and we will require such subject to take confidentiality and security measures of a degree no less than the requirements of this Policy to process personal information.
Educurrency will not transfer your information to any other parties, except in the following circumstances:
(1) Obtain your explicit consent.
(2) If Educurrency is involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of all or part of its assets, which may affect your personal information, we will issue a prominent notice via email and/or on our website or other appropriate methods to inform you of any changes in the ownership and your rights of your personal information, and any choices you may have about your personal information.
(3) In the case that has been explained in this privacy policy or notified you by other means.
According to the legal requirements, legal procedures, litigation and/or requests from government departments and authorities, Educurrency may need to disclose your personal information. If the disclosure is necessary or appropriate for national security, law enforcement, or other matters of public importance, we may also disclose information about you.
Additionally, we may share your personal information with:
(1) Our attorneys, lawyers, accountants, auditors, or similar consultants, when we request them to provide professional advice.
(2) Investors and other relevant third parties, if actual or potential sales or other company transactions occur and are related to entities within our group.
(3) Other third parties, for example, the disclosure of specific information with your authorization.
VI. How We Handle the Personal Information of Children
Educurrency does not provide our products or services to children under the age of 14 or the equivalent age as specified by law in your jurisdiction (we will define children mainly based on the laws and regulations of the country or region where our business is located because laws of different countries may differ when defining the age of children). We do not knowingly collect children’s personal data or use children’s personal information for the purposes of marketing. If you find that a child’s information has been collected by us, please send an email to privacy.help@mbox.ng to contact us. We will remove the relevant information as soon as possible. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete their personal information from Educurrency as soon as possible.
VII. Third-Party Service Providers and Services
With the upgrades of this Application, you may receive links to third-party websites or content and services provided by third parties other than us during your use of Educurrency and its Service, and some third parties’ products or services can be accessed in the form of SDKs and others. You can choose whether to visit or accept the third-party websites, products, and services at your sole discretion. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to products and services provided by any third party. Since we are not able to substantially control a third party, we are not responsible for the third party’s collection and processing of your personal information. Therefore, when you submit any information to a third party, please carefully review the third party’s privacy policy and take care of your personal information.
