Privacy policy
Draft for approval by Nagaland Police Headquarters. Highlighted text [in brackets] must be filled in or confirmed by the department before the console goes live.
Why information is collected
Garages and mobile repair shops in Nagaland record the vehicles and handsets they receive, buy or sell. Police officers use these records to check items against the stolen-property watchlist and to follow up cases. Information is collected only for this purpose, under [the order / legal provision under which establishments must keep these registers].
What is collected
| From | Information |
|---|---|
| Police officers using this console | Name, rank, officer ID, mobile number, district and police station; sign-in times; a record of every entry opened and every action taken (audit trail). |
| Garages and repair shops | Business name, category, registration number, owner's name, mobile number, district, and the GPS location captured at registration. |
| Mechanics and technicians | Name, mobile number, photograph, type and number of one government ID, and an image of that ID. For Aadhaar, only the last four digits are stored. |
| Vehicle entries | Registration, chassis and engine numbers, make and model, vehicle type; name and mobile number of the person who brought the vehicle; driving licence number; owner's name, phone and address when different; notes; photographs of the RC, driving licence and vehicle; dates received and released. |
| Handset entries | IMEI numbers, device make and model; customer's name and mobile number; type and number of one government ID (Aadhaar: last four digits only) and an image of the ID; photographs of the device; fault or notes; dates received and returned. |
Identity cards and registration certificates are read by text recognition on the phone in the Garage App and Mobile Repairing App. The images are not sent to any outside service for this.
