How is my personally identifiable information used by Pradeepzone?

Pradeepzone is the sole owner of the information collected from the Pradeepzone service. Your Personal Information can only be collected when you voluntarily provide it.

What is "Personal Information"? Personal Information is individually identifiable information about a person. This information can include a first and last name, credit card number, a home, billing or e-mail address or a personal identifier that reveals an individual's e-mail address, or a telephone or social security number. Personal information also includes a persistent identifier, such as a customer number held in a cookie (See below for definition of "cookie"), where such identifier is associated with individually identifiable information.

Subscription Services. If you subscribe to our site(s) for premium content services, Pradeepzone will gather user information and personal information to grant you access to the site(s), such as the family & friends zone ("OurZone" or "f&f").  If you choose not to register you may not have access to subscription areas that require personal identification.

When does Pradeepzone collect my information, including personally identifiable information?

Free Registration: When you register, Pradeepzone asks for your e-mail address, a user selected user name, and other information. Once you are a registered user you can update your profile and may be able to provide additional preferential information (e.g. a member name, a nickname, and certain user preferences). Pradeepzone may also ask for other optional information.

Special Contests or Promotions. Pradeepzone may occasionally present a special contest or promotion that is sponsored by another company. To qualify for entry in that contest or promotion, we may ask you to provide personal information. If we plan to share that information with the sponsor(s) or with others, we will provide a statement to that effect in the contest or promotion terms.

IP Address. An Internet Protocol (IP) address is unique string of numbers that is assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We will use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our site. Your IP address also may be used to gather broad demographic information.

Cookies. A "cookie" is a small line of text that is stored with your Web browser for record-keeping purposes and to help us provide better service to you. Your browser has options to accept, reject, or provide you with notice when a cookie is sent. Pradeepzone or its service providers may utilize "cookie" technology by sending and/or receiving information from our computers to your browser and computer. If you don't want to accept cookies then do so by changing your web settings in the internet options & by clicking 'Privacy' & modify it such that it suits you.

Computer-Generated Information. Pradeepzone may use server logs to track your movement through our Web sites and properties - in addition, we may use this information to customize the user experience or provide registrant continuity between our various Web sites and properties. 

Advertisements. The ads appearing on this Web site are delivered to you by our Affiliates (text or graphic links to other sites are not advertisements). In the process of serving ads, advertisers place a cookie in your browser's cookie file and may use information (excluding your name, address, e-mail address or other personal information) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements on this site and other Web sites about goods and services that may be of interest to you. This non-personally identifiable information is used as part of the ad serving process for reporting and to select and direct the ads you see online at Pradeepzone Sites. Additionally, some ads are generated by third party ad serving systems that also may place a cookie on your browser to provide web usage information to those third parties.

Opting Out of Third-Party Ad Servers
We recognize that not all users wish to receive ads targeted to their interests and we put the wishes of our users first. If you want to prevent a third-party ad server from sending and reading cookies on your computer, do as said above in cookies. For Pradeepzone, the most important thing is that you make the choice that is best for you.

Links to Other Sites. The Pradeepzone Sites contain links, including banner and other ads, to other Web sites. Pradeepzone is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites. The Pradeepzone Sites may also link to Web sites that feature Pradeepzone trademarks and names along with trademarks and names of other companies. You should look at the privacy policy on that co-branded Web site, as the co-branded Web site may not be under Pradeepzone's control.

Information from Other Sources. For reasons such as improving member experience and providing customized communications to our users, we may receive information about you from other sources and add it to the information that we have received from you.

Who does Pradeepzone share information with?

Your personally identifiable information will not be shared with third parties.

However, Pradeepzone may disclose information you provide if required to do so by law or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary to (1) comply with the law or with legal process served on Pradeepzone; (2) protect and defend the rights or property of Pradeepzone; or (3) act in an emergency to protect someone's safety.

We may gather demographic information from you (for example, your age, education level or household income) from time to time. We will not share that information in a manner that identifies you as an individual with any other entity, unless we let you know that at the time of collection or we have your permission.

What are my options to control the use of my personally identifiable information?

You will have the ability to request the deletion of your Pradeepzone registration at any time by utilizing the registration system established for this purpose. However, we may maintain certain other information as part of the internal processes to prevent accidental loss of user data or information and to prevent or discourage fraudulent activities that may involve Pradeepzone registration or account information. We may also continue to maintain information about your registration or account and your computer access to our Web sites or services as part of our server logs.

Unless you opt-out we may e-mail you with information from Pradeepzone, including information about selected third parties. If you do not want to receive information from Pradeepzone or third parties that we have selected, you may decline to receive it (or "Opt-Out") when you provide personal information to Pradeepzone, or you may visit http://www.pradeepweb.bravehost.com/cancel.htm and cancel the mailing list.
