Privacy Notice & Data Protection Policy

Effective Date: August 4, 2026 · Aligned with Sri Lanka PDPA (No. 9 of 2022) & GDPR Standards

100% Zero-Data Retention Guarantee

NIC Info is designed from the ground up with strict Privacy by Design principles. When you input an identification number into our tool, it is neither transmitted across the internet nor recorded in any database. All calculations happen solely inside your web browser's memory and disappear instantly when you clear the input or navigate away.

1. Purpose & Overview

This Privacy Notice outlines how NIC Info (“we”, “us”, or “our”) safeguards personal privacy and ensures data security for visitors utilizing our browser-based identification analysis tool. We treat identity credentials with the utmost sensitivity and have structured our technology so that we never handle, collect, or possess your personal data.

By using our service, you benefit from a completely decentralized, zero-trust architecture that prevents unauthorized data profiling and ensures total user privacy.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Unlike traditional web services that submit user form inputs to cloud backends for computation, our service operates without backend processing servers. Specifically, we enforce the following exclusions:

  • No Identification Credentials: National Identity Card (NIC) numbers, dates of birth, age outputs, and gender determinations are never stored, logged, or retained in any server log, system cache, or persistent database.
  • No Keystroke or Input Logging: We deploy no third-party session replay tools, key-loggers, or behavioral tracking scripts that inspect what you type in real time.
  • No Profiling or Advertising ID Tracking: We do not set cross-site profiling cookies, tracking pixel fingerprints, or programmatic ad-retargeting beacons.
  • No Personal Attribution: We do not collect names, phone numbers, email addresses, or geocoord location data when you use the decoding interface.

3. Local Client-Side Architecture

To provide verifiable mathematical accuracy without jeopardizing confidentiality, NIC Info leverages modern TypeScript/JavaScript offline browser computation.

  • Local Execution: When you access this webpage, your device downloads a lightweight, immutable logic script. When you press “Decode” or press Enter, your computer's local processor runs the mathematical day-of-year parsing algorithm locally in volatile RAM.
  • Zero Network Payloads: You can verify our security model by opening your web browser's Developer Tools (F12) and monitoring the “Network” tab during a decode operation. You will observe zero outgoing HTTP POST requests or WebSocket transmissions containing your input.
  • Offline Usability: Once loaded, our decoding tool can be operated fully offline without internet access, further confirming that zero remote infrastructure is involved in processing your sensitive inputs.

4. Local Preferences (Local Storage)

We utilize standard HTML5 Web Storage (localStorage) strictly for non-intrusive UI preference customization:

  • Theme Preference: We store a simple text token ("nic-theme" set to either "light" or "dark") on your local hard drive so your preferred color scheme persists across visits. This token contains zero tracking timestamps or identifying metrics, and can be cleared at any time via your browser settings.

5. Third-Party CDNs & External Assets

To deliver a modern, resilient visual UI and credit attribution, our static interface connects to industry-standard Content Delivery Networks (CDNs):

  • Typography & Icons: Google Fonts and standard open-source icon libraries may receive basic, anonymous HTTP request headers (such as user-agent and IP routing protocols) solely for the purpose of transmitting stylesheet and font asset files to your screen.
  • Developer Showcase & Previews: Our footer features an attribution link to our lead architect, Pubudu Tharanga, enhanced by an automated thumbnail preview card powered by image.thum.io. These preview image endpoints serve only static presentation graphics and have no access to the identification inputs typed into our tool.
  • Partner Logos: Our corporate showcase marquee renders static SVG emblems from open-source repository mirrors (PrebuiltUI/GitHub CDN), which operate entirely decoupled from our application logic.

6. Your Regulatory Data Protection Rights

Under statutory privacy regulations—including Sri Lanka's Personal Data Protection Act No. 9 of 2022 (PDPA), the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)—citizens are granted fundamental rights regarding data modification, restriction, disclosure, and erasure (“the right to be forgotten”).

Because our zero-retention system architecturally precludes us from possessing or storing any user credentials or processing history, there are no database records to retrieve, export, or delete. Your data privacy rights are fully honored by our foundational technical refusal to collect personal information in the first place.

7. Policy Updates & Inquiries

We may update this Privacy Notice periodically to accommodate advancements in Web Security protocols or emerging legal mandates. Any revisions will take effect immediately upon deployment to this webpage, reflected by the effective timestamp above.
