MyCareerPlanner (“https://www.mycareerplanner.in,” “we,” “us” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy Statement (“Privacy Policy”) describes the ways we collect information from and about you, and what we do with the information, so that you may decide whether or not to provide information to us.

In this privacy notice, we describe our privacy policy. We seek to explain to you in the clearest way possible what information we collect, how we use it and what rights you have in relation to it. If there are any terms in this privacy policy that you do not agree with, please discontinue use of our Sites and our services.

Please read this privacy policy carefully as it will help you make informed decisions about sharing your personal information with us. If you have any questions or concerns about our policy, or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us at [email protected].

INFORMATION WE COLLECTS

We want you to understand the types of information we collect as you use our services.

We collect information to provide better services to all our users — from figuring out basic stuff like which language you speak, to more complex things like which labor market information you’ll find most useful, the people who matter most to you online, or which lifeware videos you might like. The information MyCareerPlanner collects, and how that information is used, depends on how you use our services and how you manage your privacy controls.

When you’re not signed in to a MyCareerPlanner Account, we store the information we collect with unique identifiers tied to the device you’re using. This helps us do things like maintain your language preferences while using the platform.

When you’re signed in, we also collect information that we store with your MyCareerPlanner Account, which we treat as personal information.

Things you create or provide to us

When you create a MyCareerPlanner Account, you provide us with personal information for App functionality and Account management. MyCareerPlanner may collect the following information (“Personal Information”) and you hereby explicitly consent to the following:

Account Opening Information and Account Information: Self-declared User’s details like Parent’s name, Child’s Name, Parent’s Email ID, Parent’s Contact Number, Child’s Gender, Child’s School Name, Child’s Grade, Child’s Stream.
User’s Image: We require access to your mobile device camera to take a photo or photos in your device, for uploading your profile photo. Profile Photo would be only used to display it in the Dashboard & Profile screen.

We also collect the content you create, upload, or receive from others when using our services. This includes things like assessment responses, reports based on various assessments you take, photos you save, rating you give after coaching session and other information you save in the platform.

Information we collect as you use our services

We collect information about the apps, browsers, and devices you use to access MyCareerPlanner services, which helps us provide features like automatic product updates. We automatically collect certain information such as when you visit, how much time you spend on the platform, videos you watch, articles you read, purchase activity and use or navigate the sites. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our sites and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our sites, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.

We use the Firebase service from Google LLC. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) in order to derive application behavioral analytics. We use that information to see how users interact with our website and app.

Firebase is part of the Google Cloud Platform and offers numerous services for developers. A list can be found here: https://firebase.google.com/terms/. Some Firebase services process personal data. In most cases, the personal data is limited to so-called “instance IDs”, which are provided with a time stamp. These “Instance IDs” assigned by Firebase are unique and thus allow the linking of different events or processes. This data does not represent personally identifiable information for us, nor do we make any efforts to personalize it subsequently. We process these aggregated data to analyze and optimize usage behavior, for example by evaluating crash reports.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

MyCareerPlanner do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13. If you are under 18, please be sure to read this section of our Privacy Policy with your parent(s) or legal guardian(s) and ask questions about things you do not understand.

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (collectively, “COPPA”) require us to inform parents and legal guardians (as used in this section, “parents”) about our practices for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information from children under the age of 13 (“children”). It also requires us to obtain verifiable consent from a child’s parent for certain collection, use, and disclosure of the child’s personal information.

A school may sign up a child for online websites subject to COPPA and then under the provisions of COPPA, the school transfers such consent to MyCareerPlanner through agreements with schools. This section seeks to provide the relevant notifications under COPPA, including:

The types of information we may collect from children.
How we use the information we collect.
Our practices for disclosing that information.
Our practices for notifying and obtaining parents’ consent when we collect personal information from children, including how a parent may revoke consent.
All operators that collect or maintain information from children through this website and other marketing programmes.
