Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

NI9.xyz ("we", "us", "our") kaam kar raha hai https://ni9.xyz par. Yeh Privacy Policy explain karti hai ke hum aap ki information kaise collect, use, aur protect karte hain jab aap hamari website visit karte hain aur hamari calculators aur articles use karte hain.

Yeh policy European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), aur Pakistan Personal Data Protection Bill ke principles ke mutabiq hai. Hum aap ki privacy ki ehmiyat samajhte hain aur is policy ko transparent rakhte hain.

Is policy ka scope sirf NI9.xyz tak mahdood hai. Hamari website se linked external sites ke liye hum zimmedaar nahi hain — un ki apni privacy policies hain jo aap ko review karni chahiye.

2. Information We Collect

NI9.xyz do tarah ki information collect ya process karta hai:

2.1 Calculator Data — Koi Collection Nahi

Hamari sab se important commitment: Hamarein calculators (jaise FBR tax calculator, Gulf EOSB calculator, zakat calculator, BMI calculator, etc.) aap ke browser mein JavaScript ke saath chalte hain. Aap jo values enter karte hain (income, weight, gold value, etc.) woh aap ke device se kahin nahi jaatin — na humari server par, na kisi third-party par.

Is ka matlab hai ke:

• Aap ki salary, tax calculations, gold holdings, ya BMI numbers kabhi humari server par store nahi hote.
• Hum aap ke calculations ko track, analyze, ya profile nahi karte.
• Aap ka data kahin bhi share nahi hota.
• Aap browser close karte hi sab kuch clear ho jaata hai.

Yeh privacy-first approach hamari core value hai. Aap bina kisi hesitation ke apne sensitive financial data ko calculator mein enter kar sakte hain.

2.2 Server Logs (Standard)

Jab aap hamari website visit karte hain, hamari server standard logs automatically collect karta hai jo har website ke saath hota hai. Yeh include hote hain:

• IP Address: Aap ka IP address (jo aap ke approximate location dikhata hai).
• Browser Type: Kaun sa browser aur version aap use kar rahe hain.
• Pages Visited: Kaun se pages aap ne visit kiye aur kab.
• Referring URL: Kis website ya search engine se a aaye.
• Time Spent: Aap ne page par kitna waqt guzaara.

Yeh logs sirf site ke operation, security, aur abuse prevention ke liye use hote hain. In ko 90 din se zyada retain nahi kiya jaata. Yeh logs aap ko personally identify nahi karte (sirf IP address ke through, jo shared bhi ho sakta hai).

2.3 Information Aap Voluntarily Dete Hain

Agar aap hamare contact form ke zariye hum se rabta karte hain, to hum aap ka naam, email address, aur message collect karte hain. Yeh sirf aap ke sawal ka jawab dene ke liye use hota hai aur kabhi kisi third-party ke saath share nahi hota.
