PRIVACY POLICY
Effective April 15, 2022
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how personal information is collected, used, and disclosed by IndUS Counsel (“IndUS Counsel”, “we” or “us”) with respect to your use of IndUS Store and any other sites operated by IndUS Counsel, which link(s) to this Policy (the “Sites”), so that you can make an informed decision about using the Sites. We reserve the right to change the provisions of this Policy at any time. We will alert you of any changes that have been made to the Policy by indicating the date it was last updated. We encourage you to review this Policy from time to time to make sure that you understand how any personal information you provide will be used.
What Is Personal Information?
As used herein, the term “personal information” means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as a name, address, telephone number, mobile number, email address, or credit card number), or information regarding that individual that is directly linked to personally identifiable information. Personal information does not include “aggregate” information, which is data we collect about the use of the Sites or about a group or category of services or users, from which individual identities, or other personal information has been removed. This Policy in no way restricts or limits our collection and use of aggregate information.
What Information Do We Collect?
Active Collection: We collect information from you in various ways when you visit the Sites. For example, we collect information you voluntarily provide to us, such as if you create an account, send us an email, fill out a form, register for an event, provide or request information, or post comments or other content on the Sites. Such information may include personal information, such as your name, address, email, telephone number, other contact and demographic information, and credit card details. Personal and demographic information may also be collected if you provide such information in connection with creating a profile or group, leaving comments, submitting or posting content, sending an email or message to another user, or participating in any interactive forums or features on the Sites.
Passive Collection: When you use the Sites, some information is also automatically collected, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, your operating system, the browser type, the address of a referring website, and your activity on the Sites. We treat this information as personal information if we combine it with or link it to any of the identifying information mentioned above. Otherwise, it is used in the aggregate only.
We may also automatically collect certain information through the use of cookies. “Cookies” are small data files stored on your hard drive at the request of a website. Among other things, cookies help us improve the Sites and your experience. If we link cookies to any personally identifying information, we will treat this information as personal information. If you wish to block, erase, or be warned of cookies, please refer to your browser manufacturer to learn about these functions. However, if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or Services on the Sites. For details of how we handle cookies, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
We may use Web beacons or similar technology on the Sites. “Web beacons” are small, invisible graphic images that may be used on or in emails relating to the Sites to collect certain information and monitor user activity on the Sites, such as to count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness and to tell if an email has been opened and acted upon.
