Privacy Policy

Tattvaloka (“Tattvaloka”) operates the Tattvaloka.com website (the “Service”). It is Tattvaloka’s policy to respect the privacy of both people who create websites on the Service (“Customers”) as well as people who become users of those sites (“Users”).

Your privacy is important to us. The Tattvaloka.com privacy policy is designed around these principals:

  • We don’t ask for your personal information unless we truly need it

  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, for product development purposes, or to protect our rights

  • We don’t market to the Users of your website unless they are also a Customer of Tattvaloka

Gathering of Non-Personally Identifying Information

Tattvaloka 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. Tattvaloka’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Tattvaloka’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Tattvaloka may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website. Tattvaloka also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Tattvaloka does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Tattvaloka.com website choose to interact with the sites in ways that require Tattvaloka to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Tattvaloka gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up on Tattvaloka.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Tattvaloka, for example by purchasing a subscription to Tattvaloka.com, are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Tattvaloka collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Tattvaloka. Tattvaloka does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Protection of Certain Personally Identifying Information

Tattvaloka takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of personally identifying information. Tattvaloka discloses 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 Tattvaloka’s behalf or to provide services available at Tattvaloka’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 Tattvaloka’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Tattvaloka 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, Tattvaloka discloses personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Tattvaloka believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Tattvaloka, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Tattvaloka website and have supplied your email address, Tattvaloka 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 Tattvaloka and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support 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.
