PRIVACY POLICY

DiscoverU.in respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines the information we collect and how we use it. This Policy applies solely to information collected through this Site and not through other sources

COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

If you browse through this site without providing us with any personal information, we will gather and store some information about your visit, such as IP address, type of browser and operating system used, date and time you access our site, pages you visit, and if you linked to our website from another website, the address of that website. This information will not identify you personally and will not be linked back to you.

Personal information (i.e. information which may identify you in some way, such as your name, address, age, other contact details such as telephone number, email address etc. and passwords) may be collected through this website only when you voluntarily submit it. This may be when you register on the website, request information, submit comments or participate in some game, promotion, survey or other feature of the website. Providing personal information is up to you. If you do not want your personal information collected, please do not submit it. If you choose not to give personal information to us, we may not be able to provide you with access to some or all of the pages on this Site or our other products and services. Occasionally, we may ask you for personal information about other people – for example, your family or other authorized representatives. If you give us this information, we rely on you to tell those people that you are giving their personal information to us and to make them aware of this Privacy Policy.

USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Your personal information may be used as follows:

• To respond to your questions and requests, to provide you with access to certain areas and features and to communicate with you about your activities on this website.
• To share it with our Related Parties as required to perform functions on our behalf in connection with the Site (such as delivery of merchandise, administration of the website or promotions or other features on it, marketing, data analysis or customer services). To do so, it may be necessary for us to transmit your personal information to outside the applicable Jurisdiction and you agree to this transfer. Further use, or disclosure, of the information by them for other purposes is not permitted.
• To provide you with product information or promotional and other offers from us or our Related Parties*.

* However, at the point of collection of your information we will provide you either an “opt in” or “opt-out” mechanism depending on the requirements of the Site’s Jurisdiction and the Site. An “opt-in” mechanism will provide you the opportunity to positively indicate that you would like, or do not object to, our sending you such further communications and we will not send you any unless you have “opted-in”. An “opt-out” mechanism will provide you the opportunity to indicate that you do not want us to send you such further communications, and if you “opt-out” we will not send you any.

* Either way, opting-in or opting-out will be up to you and, in addition, if you do not want us to use your personal information for a particular purpose or disclose it to a third party, you may “opt out” at any time by contacting us as provided below.

* Specific opt-outs may also be provided at the point of collection or along with the communications to you.

* Please note though, by opting-out, you may not be able to participate in certain activities on the Site.

• For other purposes set out when your information is collected or in any additional terms and conditions applicable to the particular feature of the Site.
  For disclosures required by law, regulation or court order.
  For the purpose of or in connection with legal proceedings or necessary for establishing, defending or exercising legal rights.
  In an emergency to protect the health or safety of Site users or the general public or in the interests of national security.
  Except as provided in herein, we will not provide any of your personal information to any third parties without your specific consent.

CHILDREN

Children’s privacy protection is taken seriously. We operate this website in compliance with all applicable laws in the applicable Jurisdiction.

We will not, as provided by applicable law, require or request children under this age to provide more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the applicable activity on the Site. If we determine upon collection that a user is under this age, we will not use or maintain his/her personal information without the parent/guardian’s consent. Without such consent, though, the child may not be able to participate in certain activities. However, in certain circumstances, we may maintain and use such information (in accordance with the rest of this Policy and applicable law) in order to notify and obtain consent from the parent/guardian and for certain safety, security, liability and other purposes permitted under applicable law. A parent/ guardian can review, remove, change or refuse further collection or use of their child’s personal information by contacting us as provided below (include child’s name, address and e-mail address).

ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT:

Many Internet users with disabilities find web sites difficult or even impossible to use simply because of the way they are designed. We are working hard at DiscoverU.in to provide access to information that is available to all our consumers, and this goes for the website, too.

We are aware of the types of adaptive technology used by people with disabilities and are redesigning pages across our portfolio of websites to ensure compatibility with as many of these systems as possible. Changes include keeping text clear, formatting layouts and tables, and making sure links adequately describe where they go (‘click here’ does not mean much in isolation).

We are rebuilding our websites to meet the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Content Accessibility Guidelines set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and we aim, wherever possible, to ensure we conform to ‘Double-A’ standards.

If you come across a part of our site that is difficult to use please tell us about it. We intend to keep improving our accessibility – so to help us do it, send us your comments.
