For example, we collect information about what site referred you to our Website, your browser type, operating system type, and version, language, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. We also collect information about how you browse through our Website, including logging the pages you visit and the amount of time you spend on certain pages. We use this information for a number of technical purposes to ensure that our pages load correctly in your browser, as well as to personalize our offers to you. We also use this information to improve our Website. For example:
Our Website may use small pixel files (small images) and cookies (small text files) to keep track of your browser so that you will be recognized when you visit other websites where our third-party ad management providers may show you advertisements from us based on your visit to our Website. Some of these advertisements may be customized to particular products and services that you viewed or they may be based on inferences about products and services that you might be interested in. This is called “interest-based advertising”.
Please note that if you opt-out of interest-based advertising you may still see advertisements from us on other websites. However, they will not be customized based on your browsing history on our Website. In addition, we will continue to customize our offers of products and services to you when you are on our Website unless you block cookies from our Website. If you block cookies on our Website, certain functions will not function properly because our Website must recognize you as you.
Our Website and the services offered on our Website are directed to those who are seeking immigration services, which may sometimes include individuals who are under the age of 18 years. If the individual is under 18 years, the legal guardian of such an individual will be required to provide consent to authorize the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information.
We may share your personal information with our service providers, third-party institutions, and our other affiliate agents (collectively “Partners and Service Providers”) that help us with our business operations or provide us with marketing and promotional services. Some of these Partners and Service Providers are located outside of India, and your Personal Information may be transferred for processing or shared across international borders. We require our Partners and Service Providers to keep your Personal Information secure. In addition, our Partners and Service Providers may not use or disclose your Personal Information for any purpose other than providing services on our behalf or for processing your applications, unless we or they have obtained your consent.
We may transfer any information we have about you in connection with a merger or sale (including transfers made as part of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings) involving all or part of our business or as part of a corporate reorganization or stock sale or other change in corporate control.
We may also disclose your Personal Information if it is necessary for us to collect a debt from you or where we have reason to believe that it is relevant to the investigation or decision to investigate a breach of the laws of India, a province or territory of India, or a foreign jurisdiction, and we are legally permitted to do so.
We will disclose personal information without your knowledge or consent if we receive an order, subpoena, warrant, or other legal requirement issued by a court, tribunal, regulator, or other people with jurisdiction to compel disclosure of your personal information.
We retain your Personal Information only as long as we must provide our services to you.
We take administrative, technical, and physical measures to safeguard your personal information against unauthorized access, unauthorized disclosure, theft, and misuse. This includes limiting access of employees and agents to, and the use of, your personal information through the use of passwords and graduated levels of clearance. We do not publish all of our security measures online because this may reduce their effectiveness. We take physical precautions to ensure that the computer servers on which your personal information is stored and archived are secure and that access to such servers is protected. We educate our employees with respect to their obligations to protect your personal information, and we require our affiliates and any third-party service providers to take comparable steps to ensure the protection of any of your personal information that is shared with them.
Although we take precautions against possible breaches of our security systems, no company can fully eliminate the risks of unauthorized access to your personal information and no website is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or breaches of our security systems will never occur. Accordingly, you should not transmit Personal Information to us using our Website if you consider that information to be very sensitive.
