प्रभावकारी मिति · Effective: 8 July 2026 (24 Asar 2083)

नेपाल विद्यार्थी संघले तपाईंको व्यक्तिगत जानकारी (नाम, सम्पर्क, जिल्ला, विश्वविद्यालय र परिचयपत्र) सदस्यता व्यवस्थापनका लागि मात्र प्रयोग गर्दछ। तपाईंको डाटा प्राविधिक साझेदार Lacspace द्वारा सुरक्षित रूपमा व्यवस्थापन गरिन्छ र कुनै पनि तेस्रो पक्षसँग साझेदारी गरिँदैन — कानुनी रूपमा सरकारी निकायले माग गरेको अवस्थामा वा संगठनभित्रको प्रयोजनका लागि मात्र सीमित रूपमा उपलब्ध गराइन्छ।

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Nepal Student Union ("NSU", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use the Nepal Student Union website (nsu.org.np) and our mobile application, "Nepal Student Union: One App". By applying for membership or using our services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

When you apply for membership or use our services, we may collect: your full name, phone number, and email address; your province and district; your occupation (student or professional); your university, campus, and university type; and any identity document you choose to upload, such as a student ID card, admission receipt, or national ID. On the mobile app, a basic profile may also be stored locally on your own device to personalise your experience.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information only to operate the organisation's services: to process and verify your membership, to generate your unique NSU membership number and digital membership card, to keep you informed about notices, news, campaigns, and programmes, and to respond to your requests. We never use your personal data for advertising or profiling.

4. How Your Data Is Managed

All data is managed and secured by Lacspace, the official technology partner of Nepal Student Union, on secure, access-controlled cloud infrastructure. Access is limited to authorised personnel who are bound by strict confidentiality obligations. Any hosting or infrastructure providers process data solely on our behalf to operate the service and are not permitted to use it for any other purpose.

5. We Do Not Share Your Data With Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with any third party for marketing, advertising, or commercial purposes. Your data stays within Nepal Student Union and its official technology partner, Lacspace — and nowhere else.

6. When Information May Be Disclosed

Your information may be disclosed only in two limited situations: (a) within Nepal Student Union — shared with the organisation's authorised committees and officials strictly for membership and administrative purposes; and (b) when legally required — if a competent government authority, court, or applicable law of Nepal makes a lawful and binding request. We disclose only the minimum information necessary and only when genuinely obligated.

7. Data Security

We apply industry-standard safeguards — including encrypted connections (HTTPS), restricted access controls, and secure storage — to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. While no online system can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure, we work continuously to keep your data safe.

8. Data Retention

We retain your membership information for as long as your membership remains active, or as long as needed to fulfil the purposes described in this policy and to meet any legal obligations. You may request deletion of your data at any time.

9. Your Rights

You may request to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to withdraw your membership, by contacting us using the details below. On the mobile app, you can also remove your locally stored profile from your device at any time.

10. Cookies & Analytics

Our website may use minimal, essential cookies and basic, privacy-respecting analytics to keep the site working and to understand aggregate usage. These do not identify you personally and are never used for advertising.

11. Students & Minors

Our services are intended for students and members of the general public. If you are under 16 years of age, please use the service with the guidance of a parent or guardian. We collect only the information necessary for membership.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of our services after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
