8.1 Consent
Consent is often referred to as an individual’s choice to “opt in” or “opt out” of NIIT’s use of personal information and is usually obtained by a “check box” or signature confirming that the individual understands and agrees to the processing of his or her personal information. At times, express written consent from the individual may be required based on the information-processing activity. NIIT receives consent from individuals before:
-
i. collecting, using, or processing their personal information, including sensitive personal information, in certain ways or sharing their personal information with any third party;
ii. transferring the individuals’ personal information outside of their country of residence; or
iii. using or placing web cookies on an individual’s computer or other electronic devices.
8.2 Control of your information
NIIT also provides individuals with the right to control their personal information, which includes the right to access, modify, erase, restrict, transmit, or object to certain uses of their information.
You may request to review, correct, update, suppress, or otherwise modify any of your personal information that you have previously provided to us, or object to the use or processing of such personal information by us. Please send your requests to us via email. Refer to Section “Privacy Contact Information.”
In your request, please make clear what personal information you would like to have changed, whether you would like to have your personal information that you have provided to us suppressed from our database, or otherwise what limitations you would like to put on our use of your personal information that you have provided to us. NIIT may conduct an owner verification check to ascertain the identity of the requester.
While the majority of questions and issues related to access can be handled quickly, complex requests may take more effort and time. In such cases, issues will be addressed, or you will be contacted regarding the progress and appropriate next steps, within 30 days.
