Privacy Policy

Your privacy on the Internet is of utmost importance to us. This privacy statement describes ISLM's policy concerning the gathering and sharing of visitors' information through the ISLM web site. It applies to all "ISLM sites" - that is, all sites within the "ISLMindia.org" domain name.

What information does ISLM collect?

Normal web site usage

In general, you can browse the ISLM site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. The only information we gather during general browsing is from standard server logs. These include your IP (Internet Protocol) address, domain name, browser type, operating system, and information such as the web site that referred you to us, the files you download, the pages you visit, and the dates/times of those visits.

Collection of personally identifiable information

If you register for a membership, newsletter, log on to certain ISLM sites, order a book, request information, provide feedback, apply for a job, join a discussion group or join an electronic mailing list, you will be asked to provide personal information such as your name, postal address and e-mail address.

This information is collected only with your knowledge and permission, and is kept in various ISLM databases and mailing lists. If you are purchasing something using the web, you may be asked to provide your credit card details. These details are transferred to a secure, online payment service, hosted outside ISLM. Credit card information is not retained by ISLM.

ISLM sites with specific requirements to collect personal information may publish a privacy policy specific for that site. In these cases, the site-specific policies will be complementary to this general ISLM privacy policy, but will give additional details for that particular site.

For certain ISLM sites, registering or supplying personal information sets a cookie*. By setting this cookie, ISLM will remember your details the next time you visit, so you don't have to re-enter the information. This helps us to provide you with a better service.

Joining electronic discussion groups may mean that other participants of the discussion group (including non-ISLM employees) will see personal information that you have volunteered. For open discussion groups, this information will be public.

What does ISLM do with the information it collects?

Normal web site usage

The information gathered during general browsing of the "ISLMindia.org.in" domain is used to analyse trends and usage of the ISLM site and to improve the usefulness of the site. It is not connected with any personal information.

Personally identifiable information

ISLM may use the personal information you provide to:

• Contact you - either in response to a query or suggestion, or to mail newsletters, documents, publications etc. to you;
• Confirm your purchases and registrations on the site;
• Obtain payment for purchases through the site (via credit card);
• "Remember" your online profile and preferences;
• Help you quickly find information that is relevant to you based on your interests, and help us create site content most relevant to you;
• Statistical analysis.

What if I don't want to provide personal information?

Providing personal information on the ISLM site is optional. If you choose not to provide personal information, you can still browse and use the ISLM site, but you will not be able to carry out certain actions such as purchase items, register for a newsletter or apply for a job.

Opting out and changing your information

At any time, you can cancel or modify your information by returning to the web page where you first provided the information and contacting the focal point for that page/ISLM department. Where contact details are not provided on the page, you can contact us here for further information.

Security

We do not sell or share any personally identifiable information volunteered on the ISLM site to any third party. Any information provided to ISLM by users of the ISLM site is held with the utmost care and security, and will not be used in ways other than as set forth in this privacy policy, or in any site-specific policies, or in ways to which you have explicitly consented. ISLM employs a range of technologies and security measures to protect the information maintained on our systems from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

All our employees who have access to, and are associated with the processing of personal data, are obliged to respect the confidentiality of official business matters, including personal data.

The ISLM site contains links to sites external to the ISLMindia.org domain. ISLM is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such sites.

Notification of changes
