(9) Data Breaches

Limitations

We must highlight that unzeenu messaging system is mainly aimed at making connections by sending a message as accurately targeted as possible. While the messages are stored in our system, the intended recipient can retrieve the message through a search/match algorithm. Therefore, there is a possibility of someone other than your intended recipient being able to see your message contents. Therefore, we strongly recommend that , in your message contents, you do not share your important details such as bank accounts, passwords or any other detail that you may think might be important for your personal and privacy safety. Also, our service cannot control the behaviour of a person you met through our service. We strongly advise you to take precautions and necessary safety steps in all the cases when making connection through our system.

However, when someone reply to your unzeenu messages, only you will be able to see with your profile login. In summary, your outgoing messages must be considered to be accessible by public, while the replies you get for your messages are private for your own view.

We must also mention that while we do our best to protect your personal data in our servers and incoming and outgoing channels, we are living in a world where there is always a risk of unauthorised hacking and data leakers. Such risks may not be foreseeable in some cases. Therefore, if you believe that you have any reason to believe that you should not expose yourself to any such possibilities, we do not recommend that you should use our service.

How do we handle any data Breaches

If any data breach is reported to us internally or externally, we will notify all the relevant parties including users within 72 hours of such information. Also, we will promptly involve our ‘data protection officer’ to investigate, report to relevant authorities and users as well as take immediate corrective actions.

We at Unzeenu do not offer any financial compensation in such events. The user must agree on this before registering with our service.

We post any relevant messages though our ‘community’ page from our official ‘unzeenu’ account only.

Even in 'unzeenu' connect feature, the users can only see your profile picture and user name. The settings in the app allow you to turn it on or off as required (c ) in the message sending page, we have given users the option to keep their personal data private or public by clicking or unclicking the ‘keep data safe’ option. We must mention here that we cannot take any responsibility about your personal profile data safety if you do not select this option,(d) we do not allow any unauthorised person to enter our office premises. We only entertain written communications though our contact us page or email only, ( e) in our mobile app, we have incorporated privacy settings for you to make your profile visible or hidden from other local unzeenu users. Also, we do not allow our ‘unzeenu instant connect’ message option for anyone who hides their own visibility in the app. This is to ensure that other users cannot spy on you without you knowing about it. (f) we have appointed a ‘data control’ officer to do regular data audits to detect any data related issues, (g) also, we have implemented verification and IP record process in our system to detect fake accounts and other unauthorised activities to the best of our ability.
