Coca-Cola India Foundation ("CCIF," "we," "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of its visitors ("Visitors," "you") to our Internet world wide web site available at http://www.anandana.org (the "Site") that links directly to this privacy policy about the protection of personal information online. We aim for the Site to be a safe and enjoyable environment for you.
This privacy policy (the "Policy") primarily describes:
- the information that we collect through the Site, which is hosted and operated from India;
- the use and role of cookies and similar technologies on our website; and
- the security measures we have in place to protect the information we gather.
This Policy does not govern our collection of information through any web site, or by any other means, other than through the Site.
We encourage you to read this Policy before using our Site. By using the Site, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Policy. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this Policy, please do not use the Site.
1. Information CCIF Gathers Through the Site.
CCIF gathers two basic types of information through the Site: "Personal Information," information from which an individual can be identified, and "Aggregate Information," from which an individual cannot be identified.
a. Aggregate Information.When you visit and interact with the Site, CCIF and third parties with whom CCIF has contracted to provide services to CCIF, may collect anonymous information from three sources: server log files, cookies, and "pixel tags".
i. Server Log Files. Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is an identifying number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This number is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever you visit the Site, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and the page(s) that you visited. We use the IP addresses of all Visitors to calculate Site usage levels, to help diagnose problems with the Site's servers, and to administer the Site. We may also use IP addresses to communicate or to block access by Visitors who fail to comply with our Terms of Service. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is carried out automatically by many web sites.
ii. Cookies.Cookies are data that a web server transfers to an individual's computer for record keeping purposes. Cookies are an industry standard used by most web sites, and help facilitate users' ongoing access to and use of a particular web site. Cookies do not cause damage to your computer systems or files, and only the web site that transferred a particular cookie to you can read, modify or delete such cookie. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there are simple procedures in most browsers that allow you to delete existing cookies, to automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer of particular cookies to your computer. You should note, however, that declining cookies may make it difficult or impossible for you to use portions of the Site.
iii. Pixel Tags.The Site may use so-called "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs" or similar means (collectively, "Pixel Tags") to compile aggregate statistics about Site usage and response rates. Pixel Tags allow us to count users who have visited certain pages of the Site When used in HTML-formatted email messages, Pixel Tags can tell the sender whether and when the email has been opened.
b. Personal Information. You are not ordinarily required to register or provide Personal Information in order to access our Site. We collect Personal Information from you only when you voluntarily provide it to us - for example, in contacting us through the Site.
2. Use and Disclosure of Information CCIF Gathers Through the Site
a. Personal Information. We may use your Personal Information in any of the following ways :
i. Commnications : We encourage Visitors to contact us with questions and comments. Personal Information may be used in order to respond to your questions and comments.
ii. Business Purposes : We may also use your Personal Information for internal business purposes, such as analyzing and managing our businesses. The Personal Information you provide through the Site may be combined with other information you provide to CCIF (via online or offline means), with demographic information and other information that is publicly available, or with other information about you that CCIF may otherwise obtain online or offline.
iii. Miscellaneous : Finally, we may disclose your Personal Information if we believe that we are required to do so: (i) by law; (ii) to comply with legal process or governmental requests; (iii) to enforce our Terms of Service; (iv) to protect our operations; (v) to protect the rights, privacy, safety or property of CCIF, you or others; and (vi) to permit us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.
b. Aggregate Information. We analyze Aggregate Information in order to enhance web site security, track the popularity of certain pages of the Site, the success of our email notifications, traffic levels on the Site and other usage data, all of which helps us to provide content tailored to your interests, improve the Site and related services and to otherwise enhance your experience on the Site. We may share Aggregate Information with Affiliated Entities and other third parties.
3. Other Important Notes Regarding Our Privacy Practices.
a. Security. We have security measures and tools in place to help protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. No method of transmitting or storing data is completely secure. As a result, although we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us through or in connection with the Site. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), you must immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us in accordance with "Contact Us," below (note that physical mail notification will delay the time it takes for us to respond to the problem).
b. Other Third Party Sites. The Site may contain links to third party web sites. These linked sites (including the web sites of our partner NGOs) are not under CCIF's control and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the contents of any such linked site, or any link contained in any linked site. We provide such links only as a convenience, and the inclusion of a link on the Site does not imply endorsement of the linked site by CCIF. It is important that you familiarize yourself with the privacy policies and practices of any such third parties.
