4. Information we collect from you.
When you use our services, we collect and store your personal information from
you. Our primary goal in doing so is to provide an efficient, smooth and
customized experience while using our services. This allows us to provide
services and features that most likely meet your needs, and to customize our
service to make your experience easier and quicker. In general, you can browse
the Site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information
about yourself. Once you give us your personal information, you are not
anonymous to us. To fully use our services, you will need to register using our
online registration form, where you will be required to provide us with your
contact information and other personal information. We may automatically track
certain information about you based upon your behavior on our site. We use this
information to do internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and
behavior to better understand and serve our users. This information is compiled
and analyzed on an aggregated basis. This information may include the URL that
you just came from (whether this URL is on our site or not), which URL you next
go to (whether this URL is on our site or not), what browser you are using, and
your IP address. We use data collection devices such as "cookies" on certain
pages of the Site to help analyze our web page flow, measure promotional
effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. "Cookies" are small files placed on
your hard drive that assist us in providing our services. We offer certain
features that are only available through the use of a "cookie". We also use
cookies to allow you to enter your password less frequently during a session.
Cookies can also help us provide information that is targeted to your interests.
Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are automatically deleted
from your hard drive at the end of a session. You are always free to decline our
cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to
use certain features on the Site and you may be required to reenter your
password more frequently during a session.
5. Our use of information collected from you.
Information we collect is used to build features that will make using our
service an easier and more personal experience. This includes faster purchase
requests, better customer support, improved product offerings and timely notice
of new services and special offers. We believe these uses allow us to improve
our site and better tailor it to meet your needs. We may also use your
information to deliver information to you that, in some cases, are targeted to
your interests, such as new services and promotions. You agree that we may use
your personal information to contact you and deliver information to you that, in
some cases, are targeted to your interests, such as targeted banner
advertisements, administrative notices, product offerings, and communications
relevant to your use of the Site. By accepting the User Agreement and Privacy
Policy, you expressly agree to receive this information. If you do not wish to
receive these communications, we encourage you to opt out of the receipt of
certain communications on the notification preferences page. You may make
changes to your notification preferences at any time.
6. Our Disclosure of your information.
As a matter of policy, we do not sell or rent any of your personal information
to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
However, the following describes some of the ways that your personal information
may be disclosed in the normal scope of business to provide our services:
Advertisers. We aggregate (gather up data across all user accounts) personal
information and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable
manner to advertisers and other third parties for their marketing and
promotional purposes. However, in these situations, we do not disclose to these
entities any information that could be used to identify you personally without
your explicit consent.
Malamaal Community. Your User ID is displayed throughout the Site and is
therefore available to the public. All of your activities on the Site will be
identifiable to your User ID. Other people can see the items that you have
purchased in the past, your feedback rating and associated comments, your
postings on the Site, and so on. Therefore, if you associate your name with your
User ID, your identity may be revealed to some people known to you.
Internal Service Providers. We may use internal service providers to facilitate
our services (e.g., research, surveys, datamining) and therefore we may provide
some of your personally identifiable information directly to them. In some
instances, the internal service provider may collect information directly from
you (such as the situation where we ask a internal service provider to conduct a
research for us). In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the
internal service provider, and all information disclosures you make will be
strictly optional. In all cases, these internal service providers' use of
information we supply them is restricted by confidentiality agreements. If you
provide additional information to an internal service provider directly, then
their use of your information is governed by their applicable privacy policy.
Because we do not control the privacy practices of these service providers, you
should evaluate their practices before deciding to provide information.
Legal Requests. Malamaal.com cooperates with law enforcement inquiries, as well
as other third parties to enforce laws. Due to the existing regulatory
environment, 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. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may
be forced to disclose personal information to the government or third parties
under certain circumstances, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access
transmissions or private communications.
7. Control of Your Password.
You are responsible for all actions taken with your User ID and password.
Therefore we do not recommend that you disclose your password to any third
parties. If you choose to share your User ID and password or your personal
information with third parties, you are responsible for all actions taken with
your account and therefore you should review that third party's privacy policy.
If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your
personal information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your
behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you
should immediately change it.
8. Accessing, Reviewing and Changing Your Personal Information.
We offer you the ability to automatically review and change the information you
submit to us by logging into the Site and entering in the new information
yourself. Generally, we will not modify your personal information based on your
request because it is very difficult to authenticate your account manually. You
can change your user Id, email address, contact information, shipping
information and user preferences by going the preferences and setup section in
My Account. You must promptly update your personal information if it changes or
is inaccurate.
9. Security.
Your information is stored on AwareINDIA.com's servers located in the United
States. We use procedural and technical safeguards to protect your personal
information against loss or theft as well as unauthorized access and disclosure
to protect your privacy. This can include encryption, "firewalls" and Secure
Socket Layers. 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 users inside and outside the company.
However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet |
