How do we collect such information?

 

We may use any of the following three ways to get information about you.

1. The information that you give us
2. The information that we automatically collect from you

 

Before going into the reasons why we collect the information that we do, we want you to understand what the above three terms mean.

1. The information that you give us

When you sign up for an account to use our service/product we will ask you certain questions like your name or email address. These are the information that you give us. This may not be limited to what we have mentioned and can change according to the nature of the service/product that we provide.

2. The information that we automatically collect from you

When you access our service from a device, we may automatically collect information from your device, such as through the use of cookies. You will know more about automatic collection of personal information in the next section.

Why do we collect information about you?

• To contact the user

 

How long do we retain your information?

 

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice requires us to retain your personal information for longer than the period during which users have an account with us.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

 

Sale/sharing of information

We do not sell or share the information we collect from our users.

 

Privacy of children

We do not knowingly provide our services to children. If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that your child has provided us with information without your consent, please contact us. Upon verification that we have collected such information without parental consent, we will remove the information from our database.

 

Security of your personal information

We take reasonable measures to ensure that the information we collect from you is stored securely and protected to the best extent possible. However, no method of internet transmission or digital storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. While we use commercially reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect your information, we cannot promise that it will be 100% secure.

On our website, we may provide links to external websites, apps, or services. These are not operated by us and therefore are not governed by our Privacy Policy or practices.
