Any use of our website or any of its features by a child under the age of 18 must be with parental supervision. We do not contact children under the age of 18 about special offers or for marketing purposes without a parent's permission. We do not ask a child under the age of 18 for more Personal Information, as a condition of participation, than is reasonably necessary to participate in a given activity on our website.
6. Uses of Personal Information
We may use Personal Information and other information received and collected from you: (i) to provide the content or services you have requested, including services that display customised content; (ii) to contact you upon your request and when otherwise necessary; (iii) for auditing, research and analysis; (iv) to operate and improve our website, content and services; (v) to facilitate your use of our website; (vi) to conduct internal reviews and data analysis for our website, content and services; (vii) for sending you surveys and marketing communications; (viii) to engage in technical maintenance and trouble-shooting problems and errors associated with our website; or (ix) as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy or any terms or policies applicable to our website. In certain circumstances, we may share your aggregated non-personal information with third parties. When we use third parties to assist us in processing your Personal Information, we require that they comply with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. We may also share such information with third parties in limited circumstances, including when complying with legal process, preventing fraud or imminent harm, and ensuring the security of our network and services.
Where we propose to use your Personal Information for any other uses we will ensure that we notify you first. You will also be given the opportunity to withhold or withdraw your consent for your use of Personal Information other than as listed above.
7. Confidentiality and Security
We will keep confidential and protect your Personal Information except where disclosure is required or permitted by law, or in instances where we have a good-faith belief that it is necessary to comply with a court order, legal obligation, legal process, request from government or judicial authorities, or to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims or to detect, prevent, or otherwise address security, fraud, imminent harm or technical issues, or to enforce this Privacy Policy and any other policies pertaining to our website, including investigation of any potential violation thereof, or where use and disclosure thereof has been permitted by you or is otherwise permitted under this Privacy Policy.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and, once we receive it, for storage and disposal. When you enter sensitive information on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). All information we gather is securely stored within databases controlled by us. The databases are stored on servers secured behind a firewall; access to the servers is password-protected and is strictly limited. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic/data storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of the systems and measures we use to protect your Personal Information, nor can we guarantee that any information you supply or transmit to us will not be intercepted or its confidentiality will not be compromised while being transmitted to us over the internet.
We limit access to Personal Information to our employees, agents, representatives, personnel, advisors and consultants whom we believe reasonably need access to your Personal Information to provide content, products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.
Third parties provide certain services available on our website and on our behalf. We may provide information, including Personal Information, to third-party service providers to help us deliver our products, information, and services efficiently and effectively. Service providers are also an important means by which we maintain our website and mailing lists. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party service providers are obligated to protect Personal Information on our behalf through confidentiality agreements and otherwise. We do not intend to transfer Personal Information without your consent to third parties who are not bound to act on our behalf unless such transfer is legally required. Similarly, it is against our policy to sell Personal Information collected online without consent.
If you choose to provide us with your Personal Information, we may transfer that Personal Information from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. Your Personal Information may be collected and stored on servers located in the territory of India and such other countries as we may disclose from time to time.
8. Third Party Websites
Our website may contain links, references, and content from third party websites, applications or services (“External Resources”) outside of our control. Your visit to or interaction with any External Resource including any information provided by you therein, irrespective of whether the link to such External Resource originated on our website, is governed by the terms and privacy policies of such External Resource, and your interaction with any External Resource is outside the purview of our control and is at your own risk. Because we cannot control the activities of External Resources, we cannot accept responsibility for any collection, use, treatment, processing, maintenance, disclosure, transfer and management of your personal information by such External Resources, and we cannot guarantee that they will adhere to the same privacy and security practices as we do. We are not responsible for the functionality, security measures, privacy practices or the content of External Resources and this Privacy Policy shall not govern your access or use of any External Resource that you visit or use. Therefore, if you visit any External Resource, irrespective of whether that External Resource is linked or referenced to our website, you should consult that External Resource's privacy policy and terms before providing any Personal Information therein.
