Pawan Bahuguna (“Pawan“) operates PawanBahuguna.com and may operate other websites. It is Pawan’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Pawan collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Pawan’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Pawan’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Pawan may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Pawan also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on PawanBahuguna.com blogs/sites. Pawan only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Pawan’s websites choose to interact with Pawan in ways that require Pawan to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Pawan gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at PawanBahuguna.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Pawan are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Pawan collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Pawan. Pawan does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Pawan may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Pawan may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Pawan does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Pawan discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Pawan’s behalf or to provide services available at Pawan’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Pawan’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Pawan will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Pawan discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Pawan believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Pawan, third parties or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of an Pawan website and have supplied your email address, Pawan may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Pawan and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Pawan takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Pawan uses cookies to help Pawan identify and track visitors, their usage of Pawan website, and their website access preferences. Pawan visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Pawan’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Pawan’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Business Transfers
If Pawan, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Pawan goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Pawan may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
Ads
Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Pawan and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
