Indbazaar.com believes in safeguarding the user's online privacy. Please read the following policy to get a complete understanding of how your personal information will be kept secure while you enjoy the many offerings at our site. This policy may change from time to time so please check back periodically.

This certification applies to all sites/channels under the Indbazaar.com domain.

A certain amount of personal information is gathered when you register at our site including your name, email address, birth date, gender, zip code, occupation, industry and personal interests. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to customize your experience.

Once you register you are no longer anonymous to Indbazaar.com. You are given an Indbazaar User ID which enables you to take full advantage of all the facilities being offered on Indbazaar.com. In addition to registration, we may ask you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to) when you enter a contest or promotion sponsored by Indbazaar.com and/or our many partners; when you make a purchase using Discounts; when you submit a listing for a web site; and when you report a problem with one of our sites or services.

If you contact Indbazaar.com we may keep a record of that correspondence. We also occasionally ask users to complete surveys that we use for research purposes. Wherever Indbazaar.com collects personal information, we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Statement on that page.

USE OF COOKIES:

As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services, Indbazaar.com uses cookies to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. All sites on Indbazaar.com where you are prompted to log-in or that are customizable require that you accept cookies.

Cookies are used to:

a. Remind us of who you are and to access your account information (stored on our computers) in order to deliver to you a better and more personalized service. This cookie is set when you register or "Sign In" and is modified when you "Log Out" from our services. Indbazaar.com also uses cookies to store your zip code for other services.
b. Estimate our audience size. Each browser accessing Indbazaar.com is given a cookie which is then used to determine the extent of repeat usage, usage by a registered user versus by an unregistered user, and to help target advertisements based on user interests and behavior.
c. Assist advertisers in Indbazaar.com to track visits to and business at their stores, and to process the items in your shopping basket. This information collected by cookies is sometimes called "clickstream" or "click trail" and may also describe which pages you have seen in each merchant's store.
d. Track your progress and number of entries in some of our promotions and contests. When an Indbazaar.com-hosted promotion uses cookies, the information written to the cookie indicates the player's progress through the promotion, and may be used to track entries, submissions, and status in prize drawings.
e. Measure certain traffic patterns, which areas of Indbazaar.com's network of web sites you have visited, and your visiting patterns in the aggregate. We use this research to understand our user's habits so that we can make each new experience on Indbazaar.com a better one. It is also used to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you and other users will see on our sites.

Advertising networks that serve ads on Indbazaar.com may also use their own cookies.

IP ADDRESSES ETC.

Indbazaar.com also collects IP addresses for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. In addition, Indbazaar.com Mail (MySpace) includes IP addresses in outgoing mail message headers.

Indbazaar.com's primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience on our network of sites. This includes future personalization services, interactive communications, online shopping and many other types of services, most of which are completely free. In order to provide free services, we display advertisements.

By knowing a little about you, Indbazaar.com is able to deliver more relevant advertisements and content, and hence better service.

In our role of delivering targeted advertisements, Indbazaar.com plays the middleman. Advertisers give us an advertisement and tell us the type of audience they want to reach (for example, males over 35 years old). Indbazaar.com takes the advertisement and displays it to users meeting that criterion. In this process, the advertiser never has access to individual account information. Only Indbazaar.com has access to individual accounts. This kind of advertisement targeting is done with banner ads as well as promotional email through Indbazaar.com mail. You will only receive special offers via email from Indbazaar.com if you have indicated in your account preferences that you would like to receive them.

Indbazaar.com does research on our user's demographics, interests, and behaviour based on the information provided to us upon registration, during a promotion, from our server log files or from surveys. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. Indbazaar.com may share this aggregated data with advertisers or business partners.

When you are on an Indbazaar.com site and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with Indbazaar.com alone, unless it is specifically stated otherwise. If data is being collected and/or maintained by any company other than Indbazaar.com, you will be notified prior to the time of the data collection or transfer. If you do not want your data to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer by not using that particular service.

Promotions that run on Indbazaar.com may be sponsored by companies other than Indbazaar.com or may be co-sponsored by Indbazaar.com and another company. Some or all data collected during a promotion may be shared with the sponsor. If data is being shared, you will be notified prior to the time of data collection or transfer. You can decide not to participate in the promotion if you don't want your data to be shared. Currently, most Indbazaar.com promotions are limited to Indian residents.
