Privacy Policy

DGDP is committed in protecting your privacy and to make your online experience secure, comfortable, valuable and pleasant. We do not collect any information about you unless you choose to provide that information. We may share necessary data with other Government agencies and departments. However, information collected by us is used only for official purposes, internal reviews, improvement of the content of our Website, customization of the content and layout of our Website and to contact users. We do not use, share or pass on your information for commercial purposes. All record keepers face the possibility of disclosure of their records in some civil, criminal, or administrative matter. DGDP could be required to disclose personal information in response to valid legal processes such as a search warrant, subpoena, or court order. Disclosures may also be necessary to protect the Government's legal rights or during emergencies if physical safety is believed to be at risk.

If you send us an electronic mail message with a question or comment that contains personal identifying information, or fill out a form that e-mails us information, we will use this personally identifying information only to respond to your request. We may redirect your message to another government agency or person who is in a better position to respond to your query or comment. All e-mail messages received contain the e-mail addresses of persons who voluntarily communicated with or requested information from us. Your e-mail addresses are not sold, leased or shared with any non-governmental or commercial entities without the user's consent. When a user has given us their e-mail address for purposes of communicating with or requesting information from us, that communication becomes part of the public record and may be subject to public inspection and copying if not protected by law. Information submitted via e-mail or web forms may be at risk of being intercepted, read or modified. You are advised not to pass on any personal and confidential information such as security passwords and credit card numbers while using this Website unless specifically required by an authorized person. DGDP shall not be liable for any misuse or loss of any such information.

We take very seriously the integrity of the information and systems that we maintain. Hence, appropriate safeguards have been employed to ensure that any personal information is secure from destruction, corruption, unauthorized access and breach of confidentiality. Several steps have been taken to safeguard the integrity of our computer systems and networks. These steps include, but are not limited to individual authentication, the security of transmitted data, security monitoring, auditing and encryption of your information.

Except as provided by applicable laws, we do not collect, use or disclose user information without the user's knowledge and approval. We do not share user information with third parties unless we have informed users about the disclosures or have prior consent.

Users concerned about information contained in their personal records should contact the custodian of the record, which typically is the governmental entity that collects and maintains the information. You may request changes or annotate your personal information if you believe it to be inaccurate by submitting a written request describing the error. DGDP does not collect any personally identifiable information other than what you provide. The automatic data recorded has to match with NADRA database.
