4) The Advertising On Our Website.
Advertising on our website makes it possible for us to offer you information and products/services free of charge. We take advertising seriously and make every effort to ensure that the advertising is safe, unobtrusive, and as relevant as possible.
Cookies are used to make this advertising as relevant as possible to the needs and interests of our website visitors. They are equally important for our advertisers to identify and showcase relevant ads. Cookies are also used to avoid you seeing the same ad multiple times, and to detect and prevent click fraud. We use AdSense and Google Analytics to help us manage and improve our website while assist our advertisers to better understand and track user interaction with their ads. When you visit a location on our website which includes one or more of these ads, various cookies may be sent to your browser.
We may use other technologies—including Flash and HTML5—for the functionality used for displaying interactive advertising. We may also use your IP address to provide advertising targeted to that address in order to improve the relevance of the ads you see, and to measure and report to advertisers non-personal, statistical information on the geographical locations of the website visitors viewing their ads.
5) Privacy and Choice.
People have different concerns about privacy. Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect so that you can make meaningful choices about how that information would be used. You may configure your browser settings through its “options” or “preferences” feature in order to notify you before accepting or disabling cookies. However, it is important to understand that many of the services we provide on our website and to our website visitors may not function properly if your cookies are disabled.
6) The Information You Share.
Our website allows visitors to share information with others that includes, but is not restricted to, comments on our editorial content and the content they share via social media. When you share information, it may become accessible to others through mechanisms such as search engines. We are not responsible for how others with whom you share information from our website may use it.
7) Updating Your Personal Information.
It is our policy that whenever you visit our website, you should be able to access your personal information, which is the information used for identifying you through details such as name and email address. If that information is incorrect, we try to provide you ways to update it quickly or to delete it unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. When updating your personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request.
We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, requests concerning information residing on backup systems).
Wherever and whenever we can provide information access and correction, we will do so at no cost to you, except where it would require a disproportionate effort. We aim to maintain our services in a manner that protects information from accidental or malicious destruction. Because of this, after you delete information from our website, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems.

b. We restrict access to the personal information collected to our employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that information for processing it for us.

11) Handling Complaints From Our Website Visitors And Regulatory Authorities.
We regularly review our compliance with this Privacy Policy Statement, and with the industry-recommended best practices, as well as applicable laws and regulations. When we receive a formal written complaint, we will contact the person who made the complaint to follow up and resolve the issue.
12) Notification of Modifications And Changes To The T&C and Privacy Policy.
We reserve the right to change the Terms and Privacy Policy from time to time as we deem fit, without any intimation to you, and your continued use of the site will signify your acceptance of any amendment to these terms.
You are therefore advised to re-read the Terms of Service on a regular basis. Should it be that you do not accept any of the modifications or amendments to the Terms, you may terminate your use of this website immediately.
13) Security.
We treat data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorized access by members inside and outside the LLP. We do not recommend transfer of sensitive information (such as credit card number) and bank account details via the website to other users. Users are recommended to do so offline, on the phone or via personal emails. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and after we receive it. However, “perfect security” does not exist on the internet. You, therefore, agree that security breaches beyond the control of our standard security procedures are at your sole risk and discretion.
14) Disclaimer.
We cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. Therefore, although we are committed to protecting your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information will always remain private. As a user of the website, you understand and agree that you assume all responsibility and risk for your use of the website, the internet in general, and the documents you post and access, and for your conduct on and off the website.
