Privacy Policy
Welcome to CodeOxyâs Privacy Policy
1.
Hi there, weâre CodeOxy from India and welcome
to our privacy policy which also applies to our Affiliate Companies. This
policy sets out how we handle your personal information if youâre a CodeOxy
client or visitor.
2.
When we say âweâ, âusâ or âCodeOxyâ itâs because
thatâs who we are and we own and run this site.
3.
If we use the term âpolicyâ weâre talking about
this privacy policy. If we say âclientâ weâre talking about any person who is
seeking information or any kind of service from us.
Types of personal information we collect
4.
We collect certain personal information about
visitors and clients of CodeOxy.

includes: Client names, email addresses, IP addresses, contact details,
survey responses, blog comments, photos, payment information such as payment provider
details, transactional details, tax information, support queries, site form entries
(if applicable), your actions on our site (including incomplete quotations, any
uploaded attachments) and web and email analytics data. We will also collect
personal information from job applications (such as, your CV, cover letter and
interview notes, if any).
How we collect personal information

As the operator of digital content services, we
have a legitimate interest in verifying the identity of our clients. We
believe that knowing who our clients are (KYC) will strengthen the integrity
of CodeOxy by reducing fraudulent payments, CodeOxy also has certain legal
obligations that require us to know who our clients are in certain
circumstances. In light of this, if your order amount exceeds INR. 50,000 and
above we may verify your identity, in particular, your full name, full address
and date of birth by asking you to show us a Photo ID document (PAN card or
Aadhaar, etc.) CodeOxy will carry out the verification using centralized
government database or something similar approved by the law for user
verification. You might also be asked to attend a video call and a selfie might
be captured which will then be compared against your Photo ID document using
facial recognition technology. We will use your Photo ID document solely to
carry out the verification and delete it after the completion of this process.
