COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
- This site is owned and operated by Indian Living Abroad. Your privacy on the Internet
is of the utmost importance to us. At Indianlivingabroad.com, we want to make your
experience online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should
fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that
information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how
we use it.
Indianlivingabroad.com Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information: We offer the following free services, which require
some type of voluntary submission of personal information by users: Electronic newsletters
(Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. Indianlivingabroad.com gathers
the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves
from this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points
users to the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters
at the time of registration.
Message boards/forums Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must register
separately for these services (both are free of charge) in order to post messages,
although they needn't register to visit the site. During registration the user is
required to supply a username, password, and email address.
Polling:
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions
with other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions
or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular
user. IndianLivingAbroad.com may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted,
so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated
with information about individual users.
Surveys:
Indianlivingabroad.com may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target
our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information
in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any
of this information about specific individuals with any third party.
Children:
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998
(COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from
anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.
Use of Information:
Indianlivingabroad.com uses any information voluntarily given by our users to
enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive
or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based
on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send
out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls, surveys,
message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular
schedule, and occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might
be particularly interested in something we are doing. Indianlivingabroad.com never
shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors
or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like
and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual
users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue
to build a better service for you. We track search terms entered in Search function
as one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms
a particular user enters.
Indianlivingabroad.com creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic
patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows our advertisers to
advertise more effectively, and allows our users to receive advertisements that
are pertinent to their needs.
Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual users, an advertiser or
sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked their ad.
We will not disclose any information about any individual user except to comply
with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of
our users or the public.
Sharing of the Information:
Indianlivingabroad.com uses the above-described information to tailor our content
to suit your needs and help our advertisers better understand our audience's demographics.
This is essential to keeping our service free. We will not share information about
individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid
legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
Security:
Indianlivingabroad.com operates secure data networks protected by industry standard
firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are
periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals
have access to the information provided by our customers.
Opt-out Policy:
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:
Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely alleviates
the need to gather any personally identifiable information from our users
Your Consent
By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this information
by Indianlivingabroad.com. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post
those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect,
how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
