General Principles

Protecting your privacy is very important to us. We have accordingly developed this Privacy Policy to protect your personal information and keep it confidential. We do everything we reasonably can to protect your rights of privacy on systems and the Website controlled by us, but we are not liable for any unauthorized or unlawful disclosures of your personal and confidential information made by third parties who are not subject to our control, for example advertisers and websites that have links to our Website.

You should take note that the information and privacy practices of our business partners, advertisers, sponsors or other sites to which we provide hyperlinks, may be different from ours. Our privacy policy is subject to change at any time without notice. To make sure you are aware of any changes, please review this policy periodically.

We categorize information about you (collectively referred to as "Personal Information") as follows:

  • (a) Profiling Information: Information which you provide when you register for a Service, including personal identity (gender, marital status, age, preferences), financial information (banking details, income and lifestyle levels), contact details (addresses, phone/fax numbers). For Facebook-aligned services (if opted in), publicly available information of your friends, their likes and dislikes, etc.
  • (b) Payment and Account Information: Your account history with us including billing information, communications, and payment history. We maintain this in encrypted form on secure servers.

Any information you provide when using certain Services in an open, public environment or forum (including blogs, community boards, discussion boards) is not confidential, does not constitute Personal Information, and is not subject to protection under this Privacy Policy. You should be careful when deciding to share any Personal Information in such public environments. You disclose information in a public environment at your own risk.
