The primary purpose of voteindia.in is to be a dynamic resource to help you get more involved in the Indian democratic system and make way for good governance. We want you to feel secure when visiting our site and are committed to maintaining your privacy when doing so. The following provides an overview of how we protect your privacy during your visit. |
|
What information do we gather? Information on voteindia.in is gathered in two ways: (1) indirectly (for example, through our site's technology); and (2) directly (for example, when you provide information on various pages of voteindia.in). |
| One example of information we collect indirectly is through our Internet access logs. When you access voteindia.in, your Internet address is automatically collected and is placed in our Internet access logs. |
| We collect information directly from you in a number of ways, some of which we describe in this Privacy Statement. One way is through the use of cookies. Cookies are small files of information which are used to authenticate you when you login to our blog section or temporarily store other data related to you on your machine. The cookies we use identify you merely as a number. (If you are uncomfortable regarding cookies use, please keep in mind you can disable cookies on your computer by changing the settings in preferences or options menu in your browser, but doing so will prevent you from accessing some sections of voteindia.in which require cookies.) |
| We also collect information when you voluntarily submit it to us using our main registration process. |
|
How do we use this information? We analyze it to determine what is most effective about our site, to help us identify ways to improve it, and eventually, to determine how we can tailor voteindia.in to make it more effective. We may also use data for other purposes, which we would describe to you at the point we collect the information. |
|
What about sensitive personal data? We collect some sensitive data such as your email address and your mobile number so that we may provide you timely information. By providing us with unsolicited sensitive personal data, you consent to our using the data subject to applicable law as described in this Privacy Statement. The references to "sensitive personal data" are to the various categories of personal data identified by Indian and other data privacy laws as requiring special treatment. |
|
Do we give you access to your information? You are entitled to know whether we hold information about you and, if we do, to have access to that information and require it to be corrected if it is inaccurate. You can do this by sending us an e-mail. |
|
What about data security? We take appropriate steps to maintain the security of your data on voteindia.in. You should understand that the open nature of the Internet is such that data may flow over networks without security measures and may be accessed and used by people other than those for whom the data is intended. |
| In short, we are interested in maintaining your privacy and creating a valuable resource for you to use. If you have any questions now or during your visit, please contact us. |
