This Privacy Policy explains our policy regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information.
This Privacy Policy will be assessed against new technologies, business practices, and our users' needs. As we update, expand, and diversify our products and services, this Privacy Policy may evolve. Please check this Privacy Policy from time to time for updates by checking the date of the "Last Update" at the top of this document.

You acknowledge and agree that your access to our Web sites and your use of our products and/or services following any posted changes to the Privacy Policy indicate your acceptance of such changes.
Application of this Policy
At Nymi, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our users, which is why we do not sell nor rent any personal information or personally identifiable information regarding our users to any third party. We hope this Privacy Policy will answer your questions regarding how we treat personal information gathered from visitors to our Web sites and users of our products and/or services.
What is Personal Information?
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, personal information means information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, address, email address, country of residence, as well as other information when such information is combined with your personal information. Personal information does not include "aggregate" anonymous information that does not identify an individual person, which is data we collect about the use of our Web sites and our products and services. Our privacy policy does not restrict or limit our collection and use of aggregate, anonymous information.

Safeguards We Have in Place
Nymi stores and processes your personal information on computers located in Canada and in the cloud internationally.

In addition, our dedicated team of information technology professionals works to maintain data accuracy and help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information. Personal information may only be accessed by persons within our organization, or our third party service providers, who require such access to carry out the purposes indicated above.
Unfortunately, no security system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information and cannot assume liability for improper access to it. The Internet is not a secure medium and you acknowledge and agree that the privacy of your email communication and personal information can never be guaranteed as any email communication may be lost, intercepted or altered.

As a result, this information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in those jurisdictions according to laws in those jurisdictions. Subject to applicable laws in such other jurisdictions, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure that appropriate protections are in place to require the data processor in that country to maintain protections on the personal information.
