Who we disclose personal information to
Nijen does not disclose your personal information to third parties, except as described in this Policy.
Third party disclosures may include sharing such information with non-affiliated companies who perform support services on our behalf including those that provide professional, legal or accounting advice to Nijen. These companies are required to ensure appropriate security measures are in place and maintain the confidentiality of such information to the extent they receive it, and to use your personal information only in the course of providing such services and only for the purposes that Nijen dictates.
These non-affiliated companies, however, may be based in countries where privacy laws do not exist or provide less protection than the laws in the EU.
We may also disclose your personal information to fulfil your instructions or pursuant to your express consent.
Finally, under limited circumstances, your personal information may be disclosed to third parties as permitted by, or to comply with, applicable laws and regulations, for instance, when responding to proceedings of a court of law or similar legal process, to protect against fraud, and to otherwise cooperate with law enforcement or regulatory authorities.
You should know that Nijen does not sell your personal information.
Timely processing of information
We will retain your personal information in accordance with applicable laws for so long as it is needed.

Use of Google Analytics
In order to improve our users’ experience, we may use Google Analytics features such as Remarketing, DoubleClick Campaign Manager Integration, Google Display Network Impression Reporting and/or Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting (Google Display Advertising Features).
Information collected by our cookies will not personally identify you. It does, however, identify your computer and connection to the Internet. We only collect general information about your computer settings, connection to the Internet (e.g. operating system and platform), IP address, browsing patterns, and interactions within our site.
We may use Remarketing with Google Analytics to advertise online. Third party vendors, including Google, may show our ads on various sites across the internet. They may also use cookies set by the Google Display Advertising Features to inform, optimise and determine which ads you see on our Website, including ads based on previous visits to our Website.

Privacy and the Internet
Nijen is committed to ensuring that your personal information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to protect and secure your personal information.
(a) How we secure information transferring to our web server
All forms containing sensitive personal information, such as payment or bank details, are transmitted, after we authenticate your details, to the web server using a ‘secure form’ in which your details are encrypted using the most secure encryption level available.
You should notify us immediately if you have any reason to suspect that someone else may be using your details.
An encryption certificate can be viewed by double clicking on the padlock icon displayed within the web browser window when you are on a secure page.
(b) How we hold your personal information on our web server
In most cases your personal information is passed immediately to our customer service centre without any personal information being stored on the web server at all.
Where it is necessary to store personal information temporarily, any sensitive personal information is securely encrypted and stored away from publicly-accessible areas of our web server.
(c) How we transmit your personal information to our customer service centre
Once we have received your personal information, the web server, located in a secure area of the network, immediately passes your personal information through an additional firewall into an application server and onto a server to allow us to execute your order within the customer service centre. The personal information is itself protected so that only authorised staff can access the personal information.
Please be aware that this Policy may be updated at any time. As such, please ensure that you regularly read the latest version of this page.
