Thank you for visiting a website of myindiatoday.com.
Protecting your privacy is very important to us. To assure you of your privacy,
we provide this notice to help you understand our commitment to security, what
kinds of information we may gather about you when you visit the site, how we
may use that information, and how you can correct the information.
Safeguards
We have appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in place in
our physical facilities to help protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration
of any information you may have provided at our site. We always use
industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving
consumer data exchanged with our site. When we transfer and receive certain
types of sensitive information such as financial information, we redirect
visitors to a secure server and will notify visitors through a pop-up screen on
our site.
Credit Card Safety
Ordering online with us is a secure transaction. All online transactions are
handled with industry-standard SSL encryption. This means that when you enter
your credit card number into the order form, it is transmitted across the
Internet in an encrypted (scrambled) form, and then decoded when it gets to us.
E-mail Addresses
When you provide your e-mail address, we will use it only for the purpose for
which it was provided. We do not rent, sell, or exchange your e-mail address
with any third party except to provide the services you request or as required
by law (see "Other Entities" section below).
Automatically Collected Anonymous
Information
When you visit our website, certain anonymous information about your visit is
automatically logged as it is at most websites, which may include information
about your IP address, domain name, browser type, access time, and referring
website address. This information is not personally identifiable and is only
used in aggregate (not in any way that personally identifies you).
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally Identifiable Information is any information about you as an
individual that would enable someone to contact you; for example, your name,
addresses, telephone number, or e-mail address.
We will not collect any personally identifiable information
about you unless you provide it. Providing any personally identifiable
information is voluntary. If you do not want us to obtain any personally
identifiable information about you, do not submit it.
We will use your information only as permitted by law.
Aggregated information may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine
information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from
other users to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most
attractive. Aggregated information may occasionally be shared with our
advertisers and business partners, but cannot be used to contact you
individually.
Personally identifiable information will be used for the
purposes for which it was given. We also may use it to notify you about updates
to our website and to contact you for marketing purposes.
You can visit and browse website without revealing personally
identifiable information about yourself. You may also choose to disclose
personally identifiable information about yourself for the purposes described
below.
E-mail Newsletters
When you request a free e-mail newsletter from us, we will collect and store
your e-mail address to provide you with the requested newsletter. We may also
send you occasional special offers and information and other select sources we
think would be of interest to you. You may change your subscribed e-mail
address, opt-out of receiving special e-mailed offers, or remove yourself from
any mailing list by following the instructions contained in every newsletter.
We do not rent, sell, or exchange your e-mail address with any third party
except to provide the services you request or as required by law (see
"Other Entities" section below).
Requests for Products or Services
When you request a product, or service from us, we will collect and store your
name, address, credit card number, and other basic personally identifiable
information to provide you with the requested product or service and for
billing purposes. We may also offer you, by direct mail; products and other
select sources we think would be of interest to you.
Your e-mail address will also be obtained during the online
ordering process for the purpose of corresponding with you about your purchase
and to occasionally notify you of additional online shopping opportunities. You
may opt-out of receiving any subsequent shopping opportunities by following the
unsubscribe information found in each e-mail announcement. Again, we will not
rent, sell, or exchange your e-mail address with a third party for any purpose
except to provide the services you request or as required by law.
Surveys
We occasionally conduct reader surveys to better target content to our
audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these
surveys with our advertisers and partners. We never share with any third party
information collected via surveys about specific individuals.
Contests and Sweepstakes
We occasionally offer contests and sweepstakes. These contests and sweepstakes
are conducted in full accordance with federal and state laws. The full rules
for our contests are clearly posted during each event. Information gathered is
used only to verify user identity and to contact winners and/or prize
recipients.
We occasionally may offer contests or sweepstakes that are
sponsored by or co-sponsored with third parties as identified in the contest or
sweepstakes' Official Rules. By virtue of their sponsorship, these third
parties may obtain personally identifiable information that visitors voluntarily
submit to participate in the contest or sweepstakes. We have no control over
the third-party sponsors' use of this information.
Other Entities

officials in the investigation of alleged unlawful activities of our customers
related to electronic communication transmitted on our site. We will have no
legal liability for such disclosures.
