Co-Branded Relationships
We have established relationships
with other parties to offer you the benefit of other products and services which
we ourselves do not offer. We offer you access to these other parties either through
the use of hyperlinks to their sites from our Site, or through offering "co-branded"
sites in which both ourselves and these other parties share the same uniform resource
locator, domain name or pages within a domain name on the Internet. In some cases
you may be required to submit information for purposes of registering or applying
for products or services provided by such third parties or co-branded partners.
The privacy policy of such other parties may differ from ours, and we may not have
any control over the information that you submit to such third parties or co-branded
sites. We therefore encourage you to read that policy before responding to any offers,
products or services provided by such other parties.
Cookies
We use "cookies" to store specific
information about you and track your visits to our Site. It is not uncommon for
websites to use cookies to enhance identification of their users. A "cookie" is
a small amount of data that is sent to your browser and stored on your computer's
hard drive. A cookie can be sent to your computer's hard drive only if you access
our Site using the computer. If you do not de-activate or erase the cookie, each
time you use the same computer to access our Site, our web servers will be notified
of your visit to our Site and in turn we may have knowledge of your visit and the
pattern of your usage. Generally, we use cookies to identify you and enable us to
access your Registration Information, Publishing Information or Payment Information
so you do not have to re-enter it; gather statistical information about usage by
Users; research visiting patterns and help target advertisements based on User interests;
assist our partners to track User visits to the Site and process orders; and track
progress and participation in promotions.
You can determine if and how a cookie
will be accepted by configuring your browser's which is installed in the computer
you are using to access the Site. If you desire, you can change those configurations
in your browser. By setting your preferences in the browser, you can accept all
cookies, you can be notified when a cookie is sent, or you can reject all cookies.
If you reject all cookies by choosing the cookie-disabling function in your browser,
you may be required to re-enter your information on our Site more often and certain
features of our Site may be unavailable.
Minors
The Site and its contents are not
intended to be targeted to minors under applicable law and we do not intend to sell
any of our products or services to minors. However, we have no way of distinguishing
the age of individuals who access our Site and so we carry out the same Privacy
Policy for individuals of all ages. If a minor has provided us with personal information
without parental or guardian consent, the parent or guardian should contact us to
remove the information.
Security Measures
We employ commercially reasonable
security methods to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure
correct use of information.
As a Registered User, your Registration
Information, Publishing Information and Payment Information (if any) can be viewed
and edited through your Account which is protected by Password. We recommend that
you do not divulge your Password to anyone. Our personnel will never ask you for
your Password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail. If you share
a computer with others, you should not choose to save your log-in information (e.g.,
User ID and Password) on the computer. Remember to sign out of your Account and
close your browser window when you have finished your session.
No data transmission over the Internet
or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secured. As a result,
while we try to protect your information, no web site or company, including ourselves,
can absolutely ensure or guarantee the security of any information you transmit
to us and you do so at your own risk.
Changes to Privacy Policy
Any changes to this Privacy Policy
will be communicated through our posting an amended and restated Privacy Policy
on our Site. Our posting the amended and restated Privacy Policy will make such
new Privacy Policy immediately effective. You agree that all Collected Information

the new changes in our Privacy Policy, you should contact Statosindia.com in writing
