Privacy Policy for Mobile Applications Developed by the University of Central Asia
The University of Central Asia (“UCA” “University” ) is committed to protecting the privacy of its faculty, students, and staff who use UCA mobile applications. This Privacy Notice explains how personal data is collected, used, stored, and shared when you access and use a UCA mobile application.
Purpose
This Privacy Policy informs users of UCA mobile applications about how their personal data is collected, stored, used, and disclosed in connection with the use of the application. It operates within and supplements UCA’s broader data governance framework. This document is issued under the authority of the approved UCA IT Policies.
Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to mobile applications developed and provided by UCA for use by its authorised faculty, students, and staff. These applications are made available to support convenient access to UCA services and portals.
By downloading, accessing, or using a UCA mobile application, you acknowledge that the personal data you provide will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Personal Data UCA Collects
To access the mobile application, you may be required to provide your UCA network user ID and password. This information is collected solely for authentication purposes and to ensure that access is limited to pre-authorized users.
UCA mobile applications do not request or collect any additional personal data unless explicitly stated within the application.
How UCA Uses Your Personal Data
Personal data collected through the UCA mobile application is used only for the following purposes:
- to verify your identity and authorize access to the application;
- to provide you with access to UCA services and portals available through the application; and
- to support secure and efficient use of the application.
Device Access and Permissions
UCA mobile applications are designed to respect your privacy. Unless specifically required for a clearly stated function of the application, the application does not:
- access data from other applications on your phone;
- access your messages; or
- take remote control of your device.
Storage of Login Information
To improve usability, the application may store your login credentials or authentication details to enable easier access without requiring you to re-enter your credentials each time you open the application. If a different authorized user wishes to log in on the same device, the application allows new login credentials to be entered.
Upon deinstallation of the application and termination of your UCA account, stored personal data will be deleted.
Sharing of Personal Data
UCA does not sell, rent, or give third parties rights over the personal information you submit through the mobile application. Your information will only be used for UCA’s internal operational and administrative purposes, unless disclosure is required by law or authorized by you.
Data Security
UCA takes reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the personal data collected through its mobile applications against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or disclosure.
Login
To use the mobile application, you must launch the app and log in using your UCA network user ID and password. The application will verify whether you are an authorized user and will grant access only to users who have been pre-approved to use the application. No additional personal data is required to access the application unless otherwise stated.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
UCA may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted within the application or through other appropriate UCA communication channels. This document is issued under the authority of the approved UCA IT Policies.
