Privacy Policy
Syndications Today, a division of Living Media India Ltd puts the quality
and resources of The India Today Group at your service. Syndications Today
is committed to protecting the privacy of Internet users. This statement
discloses the privacy practices for Syndications Today, located at http://www.indiatodayimages.com/
Questions regarding this statement should be directed to Syndications
Today at syndications@india-today.com or by contacting Syndications Today,
13th Floor, Videocon Tower, E-1, Jhandewalan Extn. New Delhi - 110 055
or by calling our main number at (91) 11-2368-4848.
To make use of certain features on our website, visitors must provide
certain information as part of the registration process. (We may ask,
for example, for your name, email address, sex, age, and PIN code, and
we might request information on your occupation, interests, and the like.)
The information you supply will help us to make Syndications Today a better
website by allowing us to tailor our site to your interests and make it
more useful to you. Supplying such information is entirely voluntary.
In some instances, which involve, for example, subscriptions, you may
need to provide all the information before the subscription can reach
you. We can't deliver your magazines or notify you that you've been lucky
enough to win a prize in a promotional contest if we don't know how to
contact you. Of course, even if you want to remain completely anonymous,
you are still free to take advantage of the wealth of content available
on our site without providing any personal information.
The information gathered by Syndications Today falls into two categories:
(1) information voluntarily supplied by visitors to our website through
optional registration and (2) tracking information gathered as visitors
navigate through our site.
To help make our site more responsive to the needs of our visitors, we
invoke a standard feature of browser software, called a "cookie", to assign
each visitor a unique, random number (a sort of user ID) that resides
on your computer. The cookie does not personally identify the visitor
as an individual; rather, cookies merely identify the computer that a
visitor uses to access our site. Unless you voluntarily identify yourself
(through registration, for example), we will have no way of knowing who
you are, even if we assign a cookie to your computer. The only personal
information a cookie can contain is information you supply (an example
of this is when you ask for our Personalized Horoscope). A cookie cannot
read data of your hard drive. Our advertisers may also assign their own
cookies to your browser (if you click on their ads), a process that we
do not control.
We use cookies to help us tailor our site to meet your needs, and to deliver
a better service that is keyed to the interests of our visitors. We use
cookies to determine what features our visitors prefer and which are less
popular. We can build a better site if we know which pages our users are
visiting and how often. And we use cookies to avoid showing you the same
ad, repeatedly, during a single visit.
If you do not want the benefit of cookies, there is a simple process to
manually delete your cookies. Please consult your web browser's Help documentation
for more information on this process.
Our web servers automatically collect limited information about your computer's
connection to the Internet, including your IP address, when you visit
our site. (Your IP address is a number that lets computers attached to
the Internet know where to send you data -- such as the web pages you
view.) Your IP address does not identify you personally. We use this information
to deliver our web pages to you upon request, to tailor our site to the
interests of our users, to measure traffic within our site and let advertisers
know the geographic locations from where our visitors come.
Syndications Today include hyperlinks to other websites whose privacy
policies we do not control. Once you leave our servers (you can tell where
you are by checking the URL in the location bar on your browser), use
of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the
operator of the site you are visiting. That policy may differ from ours.
We would request you to read their privacy policy.If you can't find the
privacy policy of any of these sites via a link from the site's homepage,
you should contact the site directly for more information.
When we present information to our advertisers -- to help them understand
our audience and confirm the value of advertising on our website -- it
is usually in the form of aggregated statistics on traffic to various
pages within our site. If you do register with http://www.indiatodayimages.com/,
we may, from time to time; contact you about content and features that
we believe may be of interest to you.
All information gathered on http://www.indiatodayimages.com/ is securely
stored within the Syndications Today -controlled database. The database
is stored on servers secured behind a firewall; access to the servers
is password-protected and is strictly limited. However, as effective as
our security measures are, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot
guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information
you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over
the Internet. And, of course, any information you include in a posting
to the discussion areas is available to anyone with Internet access. .
A note to end on: The Web is an evolving medium. If we need to
change our privacy policy at some point in the future, we'll post the
changes before they take effect. Of course, our use of any information
we gather will always be consistent with the policy under which the information
was collected, regardless of what the new policy may be. .
