Use of Cookies:

To enhance the effectiveness and usability of the Platform for our users, we utilize "cookies" or similar electronic tools. These cookies collect information to assign each visitor a unique random number as a User Identification (User ID). This allows us to understand the individual interests of users using the identified device. Unless the user voluntarily identifies themselves (e.g., through registration), we have no way of knowing who the user is, even if we assign a cookie to their device. It's important to note that the only information a cookie can contain is information provided by the user; it cannot read data off the user's device hard drive. Additionally, our advertisers may assign their own cookies to the user's device (if the user clicks on their ad banners), a process over which we have no control.

Our web servers automatically gather limited information about the user's device connection to the internet, including the user's IP address, when they use the Platform. The user's IP address is a numerical label that identifies their device's location on the internet, facilitating data transmission, such as the web pages viewed by the user. It's important to note that the user's IP address does not personally identify them. We utilize this information to deliver our web pages to users upon request, customize our Platform to suit the interests of our users, measure traffic within the Platform, and inform advertisers about the geographic locations of our visitors.

Links:

We may also include links to other websites on our Platform. It's important to note that these websites are governed by their respective privacy policies, which are beyond our control. Once a user leaves our servers (they can determine this by checking the URL in the location bar on their browser), the use of any information provided by the user is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site they are visiting. This policy may differ from our Privacy Policy. If a user cannot find the privacy policy of any of these sites via a link from the site's homepage, they may contact the site directly for more information. It's important to understand that we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such third-party websites.

Security Procedures:

All information collected on our Platform is securely stored within a controlled database. This database is housed on servers secured behind a firewall, with access to such servers being password-protected and strictly limited based on a need-to-know basis. However, we acknowledge that while our security measures are effective, no security system is completely impervious. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of our database, nor can we guarantee that the information you provide will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the internet.

Additionally, any information you include in a posting to the discussion areas will be accessible to anyone with internet access. By using the Platform, you understand and agree that your information may be used in or transferred to countries other than India.

Advertising:

When we provide information to our online advertisers to assist them in understanding our audience and assessing the value of advertising on the Platform, it typically takes the form of aggregated anonymized data. This data, which cannot be used to trace individual users, may include statistics and/or data regarding user traffic, responsiveness, and behavior towards advertisements on our Platform.

Additionally, when you register with us, we may periodically contact you to update your content and provide features that we believe may be beneficial to you.

Disclaimer:

Various deceptive emails, websites, blogs, etc., claiming to be from or associated with our Platform, may be circulating on the Internet ("Deceptive Communication"). These deceptive communications may include our logo, photos, links, content, or other information. Some deceptive communications may even contact users, requesting login credentials, informing them of fake prizes/gifts, suggesting illegal activities, requesting detailed personal information, or soliciting payments.

It's important to note that the sources and contents of these deceptive communications and accompanying materials are not associated with us in any way. For your own protection, we strongly advise against responding to such deceptive communication without verifying its authenticity. You agree that we shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or harm that you may suffer by relying on or acting upon such deceptive communications.

Unless it is necessary for verification purposes as outlined in the Terms, neither we nor our employees will contact you to request sensitive personal information (SPI).
