Privacy Policy
Madhavidesai.com values your
privacy. Madhavidesai.com, its affiliates and advertisers are
firmly committed to protecting your privacy. This statement of
policy discloses our continued support for and commitment to the
responsible management of consumer information.
This Statement supplements the
madhavidesai.com User Agreement and Terms of Service. Thus, this Statement is incorporated into
and governed by all of the terms of the Agreement. In the event of
any conflict between the terms of the Agreement and this
Statement, the terms of this Statement shall control.
This Statement applies only to
information collected on the madhavidesai.com web site. It does
not speak about madhavidesai.com's practices for information
collected elsewhere or the practices of any third parties,
including those who operate sites on madhavidesai.com's behalf and
that display madhavidesai.com branding.
Personal
Information
While registering at the
madhavidesai.com site (http://www.madhavidesai.com) you may be asked to provide certain
personal information either in the various fields of the
on-line registration (sign-up) form or in some other electronic
manner. This data could include your name, address, email address,
date of birth and gender, certain financial information,
educational training/qualifications, test scores, examination
results and the like. madhavidesai.com
uses this information
To
make the service more meaningful:- the website is intended to help
you in making an informed, value-based decision about your
educational career.
It is important that you should be able to
find the information you need. Given that there is so much
information available, it is impossible for us to help you
effectively without knowing slightly more about you than you may
be used to disclosing on other websites. Remember, this is not the
same as signing up for free newsletters or email services or
sending electronic greeting cards.
Those services, valid as they
are, do not need your financial or educational background; but if
you want to make a choice about your education, choosing the right
university is important and the choice you make inherently depends
on your abilities, means and skills.
Also, Universities have widely
varying admissions policies and procedures, not all of which may
be open to you. Your choices may be limited by your
qualifications, skills or means.
to keep you regularly updated with the latest developments at the
site by email newsletters . Remember, you
can always opt not to receive, or to discontinue receiving, direct
mailings.
For your convenience so that the
next time you visit our site you do not have to fill in the
information again.
All such information is treated as
personal and private, i.e., it is never shared, distributed,
transmitted, sold or otherwise propagated to any person, company,
firm, authority or entity outside your family page, except in
cases of reported violations of our Terms of Service or applicable
law or statute or compelled by a court order to do so.
We never run any kind of check or
verification on the information you provide, unless you are minor.
The Website is not designed to automatically assure you admission
or even to warrant that your application to any university will
even be looked at. It only opens out for you the various choices
that you have, some of which you may not even be aware of, so that
you can choose wisely and well.
We therefore do insist that you
use our service responsibly (and when you sign up you signify your
agreement that you will do so) in a manner that does not violate
our User Agreement.

Parental
Control
At madhavidesai.com we believe that
young adults often need guidance on educational decisions. We
believe that an interactive process both online and offline
assists the young student in making a decision for himself,
inculcates the value of independent thinking and builds character.
At the same time, we realize that, inherent in the nature of the
Internet today is the need for a degree of parental control. We
assure you that this site has no material that is meant for
adult audiences. There is no obscene, pornographic or
sexually explicit material on this site and there never will be.
We
insist on parental authorisation whenever a minor signs up. Our
sign up and registration form provides a variety of means of
providing such parental consent. A minor is someone under the age
of 18. We need this because many of the decisions that will be
made have an economic or financial impact which the minor cannot
take.
Remember, violation of this rule
requiring parental consent can invite severe penalties. We urge
you to act responsibly and carefully.
Non-Personally
Identifiable Information
madhavidesai.com does
additionally obtain some non-personally
identifiable information such as the Internet Service
Provider you use to
connect to the Internet, your browser type, or the type of computer operating system you use (Macintosh or
Windows, for example). The information so collected is
used to target ads and assess ad-effectiveness on behalf of
our advertisers.
In the interests of security and
maintenance, madhavidesai.com routinely logs Internet Protocol
(IP) addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically
assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. In some cases
your IP address stays the same from browser session to browser
session; but if you use a consumer Internet access provider such
as VSNL (which presently does not support static IP
Addresses) or others, your IP address probably varies each dialup
session, thus making it difficult for madhavidesai.com to use your
IP address (by itself) to determine who you are. When you visit
the site, madhavidesai.com servers log your IP address, which is
used for, among other things, systems administration and
aggregated usage reports.
Cookies
Like almost every site on the
Internet, madhavidesai.com too makes limited use of cookies.
Madhavidesai.com cannot use cookies to identify you personally in
any way. Cookies, as you might know, are small program files that
reside on your computer. Every time you log in to the
madhavidesai.com site, the cookie on your computer reports whether
or not you have been to the Site before and whether or not you are
a registered user. If you are, the cookie speeds you through the
access and login process and enables us to preserve your
preferences. Cookies are also used to moderate or customize site
content, promotions and advertising and to do market research.
You always have the option NOT to
accept cookies at any time. Your browser help manual will tell you
how to flush all the cookies on your system if you wish to.
Rejecting cookies will not noticeably affect your experience as an
unregistered visitor.
Direct
Mailing
madhavidesai.com does manage and
circulate a low-volume monthly email newsletter. This contains
information we believe to be interesting and useful, including
special offers, advance information of upcoming events and
features and site update reports.
The newsletter is not spam
(unsolicited bulk mailing). Madhavidesai.com is as firmly
committed to combat spam as it is to protecting your privacy. The
newsletter is a purely opt-in or optional newsletter. You
can choose to receive or not receive it at the time of
registration. None of the facilities we offer depend on the choice
you make about the newsletter. You can also opt-out of the
newsletter at any time by following a simple procedure: either by
sending an email to a designated address or by visiting a section
of our website.
Every newsletter contains, at its
foot, information and directions for opting out of the newsletter.

third parties to serve advertisements and provide other services
