We collect your information that is personally
identifiable to you, to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to
statistically analyze site usage, to improve our content and product offerings
and to customize our site's content, layout, and services. We believe these
uses allow us to improve our site and better tailor it to meet our users'
needs We may also use your information to deliver information to you that,
in some cases, are targeted to your interests, such as targeted banners,
new services and promotions. By accepting the User Agreement you expressly
agree to receive this information.
We use your email address, your mailing address, and phone number
to contact you regarding administrative notices, new product
offerings, and communications relevant to your use of the Site.
We use information in the file we maintain about you, and other
information we obtain from your current and past activities on
the Site, to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce
our User Agreement. At times, we may look across multiple users
to identify problems or resolve disputes, and in particular on
rare occasions we may evaluate your information to look for users
using multiple User IDs or aliases.
Our primary goal in collecting personal information from you
is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, 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.
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
as described in our electronic membership registration form.
The system automatically tracks certain information about you
based upon your behavior on our site. This information is used
to do internal research on our users' demographics, interests,
and behavior to better understand and serve 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.
In addition, we use cookies on certain pages of our site. We
may also offer certain features that are only available through
the use of a cookie. We use cookies since it will allow you to
enter your password less frequently during a session. Cookies
can also help us provide information, which is targeted, to your
interests. Cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our
site. Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are
automatically deleted 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 our
site and you may be required to re-enter your password more frequently
during a session.
If you choose to buy or sell on our site, we collect information
about your buying and selling behavior. We also collect other
users' comments about you in our feedback area. If you choose
to post messages in our bulletin board, chat rooms or other message
areas or leave feedback for other users, we will collect such
information about you as you choose to disclose.
Unfortunately, due to the existing regulatory environment, we
cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other
personally identifiable 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 information to the government, or for that
matter third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions
or private communications.
We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about
you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in
our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection
with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements,
or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability.
Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect
your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that
your personally identifiable information or private communications
would remain private. As a general proposition, we will not sell
or rent any personally identifiable information about you to
any third party.
We may use third party Suppliers and Service Providers to facilitate
our services. For example, we may outsource the operations of
one or more aspects of our site to a Supplier or Service Provider
who performs services according to our requirements. In some
instances, the Service Provider may collect information directly
from you (such as the situation where we ask a Service Provider
to conduct a survey for us).
In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the
Supplier or Service Provider, and all information disclosures
you make will be strictly optional. In all cases, we restrict
how these Suppliers and Other Service Providers may access, use
and disclose your information. In general, we do not permit these
Suppliers and Other Service Providers to sell your information
to third parties.
We will share much of our data, including personally identifiable
information about you, with our subsidiaries and other websites
so that you gain greater value addition from the services and
information provided by them. To the extent that these entities
are getting access to your information, they will treat it at
least as protectively as they treat information they obtain from
their other users. We usually require our subsidiaries and other
web sites to follow privacy practices no less protective of all
users than our practices described in this document.
Once posted, you cannot change or remove any public postings
made in our chat rooms or other message areas or the feedback
area. We will retain in our files information you have requested
to remove in some circumstances, such as to resolve disputes,
troubleshoot problems and enforce our User Agreement. Further,
such prior information is never completely removed from our databases
due to technical constraints and the fact that we back up our
systems. Therefore, you should not expect that all of your personally
identifiable information would be completely removed from our
databases in response to your requests.
Except as otherwise expressly discussed in this Privacy Policy,
this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information
we collect from you.
To the extent that you disclose your information to other parties,
whether they are buyers or sellers on our system or other sites
throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their use
or disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them.
To the extent that we use third party advertisers, they adhere
to their own privacy customs and policies. Since
"www.betterphotography.in" does not control the privacy policies
of third parties, you are subject to the privacy customs and
policies of that third party. We encourage you to ask questions
before you disclose your personal information to others.
"www.betterphotography.in" uses industry standard efforts
to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable
information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect
security" does not exist on the Internet.
