We collect non-personal and personal information for various purposes:
Our primary objectives include providing and operating government services and resources effectively and efficiently, providing ongoing government service to citizens, and communicating with visitors and citizens for service-related notices and updates. Additionally, we use both collected personal and non-personal data to improve and inform government and website services.
Furthermore, we conduct website analytics to enhance the user experience. This includes measuring and collecting session information, monitoring page response times, assessing the length of visits, and observing page interactions.
How We Store and Share Personal Information
Our company is hosted on the Wix.com platform, which provides an online platform for our services. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases, and general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall.
However, it's important to note that personal information provided by our citizens, particularly data collected during the citizenship process, is not stored on Wix.com's data storage, databases, or general applications. Instead, we manage this information separately using our internal systems. Access is restricted to authorized government officials for official purposes.
All direct payment gateways offered by Wix.com adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, ensuring the secure handling of sensitive information.
We highly value your privacy, and it's important for you to know that we do not share any of your information with external parties except in a limited fashion to provide government services, such as identification documents for our citizens. Whether it's the details you provided during the citizenship process, such as your name, date of birth, place of birth, nationality, email addresses, and any other relevant information, or non-personal data collected through analytics tools, your information remains safe with us.
Access to any data collected, whether on or off website, is restricted to authorized government officials and is used exclusively for official purposes, such as processing citizenship applications and improving our services. Be advised that your information may be used to create statistics that may be shared.
Rest assured, we do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer any information to third parties. Your trust is our priority, and we are dedicated to maintaining the privacy and security of all the data entrusted to us.
