Definitions. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy:


General Clarifications. This Privacy Policy describes our policies and procedures on the collection, use, and disclosure of your information when you use the Service and tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

We use your Personal data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.


Collecting and Using Your Personal Data

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data. While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information (PII) that can be used to contact or identify You. PII may include, but is not limited to:

Usage Data. Usage Data is collected automatically when using the Service.

Usage Data may include information such as your device's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.


When you access the Service by or through a mobile device, we may collect certain information automatically, including, but not limited to, the type of mobile device you use, your mobile device’s unique ID, the IP address of your mobile device, your mobile operating system, the type of mobile Internet browser you use, unique device identifiers, and other diagnostic data.


We may also collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Service or when you access the Service by or through a mobile device.

Tracking Technologies and Cookies. We use Cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service and store certain information. Tracking technologies used are beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze our Service.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all Cookies or to indicate when a Cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept Cookies, you may not be able to use some parts of our Service.


Cookies can be "Session” or “Persistent” Cookies. Session Cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser, while Persistent Cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline.


We use both Session and Persistent Cookies for the purposes set out below:


Use of Your Personal Data

The Company may use Personal Data for the following purposes:


We may share your personal information in the following situations given that we have ensured that all third-party data processors have a contract with Bandhu for processing User data:


Bandhu can also anonymize your personal data and supply it to third parties, to enable better targeting of delivery of services or formulation of evidence-based policies.


Disclosure of user info. Overriding the above-mentioned clauses, Bandhu may disclose user info including personally identifiable information (PII) if Bandhu reasonably thinks that disclosure is 1) necessary to comply with legal process; 2) would mitigate Bandhu’s liability in actual/potential lawsuit; 3) otherwise necessary/appropriate to protect Bandhu’s or other person/entity’s rights or property; 4) to enforce agreement(s) including ensuring payment of fees by users; or 5) to deter illegal behavior (i.e. fraud).

Retention of Your Personal Data

The Company will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

The Company will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

Right to withdraw. You have the right to withdraw your consent of our use and retention of your Personal data. If you do so, we shall cease to collect any further information about you, and cease providing data to any third-party. However, we shall maintain historical records that an individual with a certain unique ID exited the platform, in order to have data on record for any possible judicial and/or legal compliance/queries that may arise in the future, and the sharing of information of you during the use of service to the third-party cannot be withdrawn. However, the storage of such data after the request to Withdraw is processed shall be done in a way in which any personal identifiers are encrypted. If such individual rejoins the platform, the historical data retained shall be redeployed to the individual’s account.


Transfer of Your Personal Data

Your information, including Personal Data, is processed at the Company's operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. It means that this information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction.


Your consent to this Privacy Policy, followed by your submission of such information, represents your agreement to that transfer.


The Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and that no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.


For all of the above, storage/transfer of any data of Indian citizens/Users shall at all times be in compliance with the laws of the country (India) of operation.

                                     

Disclosure of Your Personal Data

Business Transactions. If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your Personal Data may be transferred. We will provide notice before your Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.


Law Enforcement. Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).

Other legal requirements. Bandhu may process and disclose your personal data without your consent in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

User-submitted content. Bandhu may now or in the future let you submit videos/other communications that you or other users submit, including profile, job postings, job asks, feedback, and hosting/sharing/publishing or any other form of user-supplied content (“Submitted Content”). You shall keep all your ownership rights of the Submitted Content, but by submitting to Bandhu, you agree that Bandhu shall receive a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable license to use your Submitted Content. Such uses include, but are not limited to, reproduction, translation, and/or distribution of Submitted Content for purposes that may include, but are not limited to, promotion of any part or all of the Application. Bandhu does not endorse any part of your Submitted Content, and is not liable for any acts or omissions related to or as a result of your Submitted Content, including damages. Please see the Terms of Use for details on the Bandhu’s criteria for determining inappropriate Submitted Content and the consequences of posting such material. Repeat infringers who have been notified more than twice and/or have had Submitted Content removed more than twice may have related Account(s) terminated and be prohibited from re-registration, including blocking any related email address(es) or IP address(es).


No confidentiality. Bandhu does not guarantee confidentiality of any of your Submitted Content. Anything you submit to the website is considered to be searchable by registered users, and any Submitted Content is assumed to be non-proprietary and non-confidential. Bandhu is free to use/disseminate this Submitted Content to provide the Services. By posting Submitted Content, you grant each User a non-exclusive license to access your Submitted Content through the Application and to use it as permitted through Bandhu’s Website and Terms of Use. This license terminates once you remove or delete the Submitted Content from the Application. You acknowledge that the Submitted Content may need to be modified or transmitted over various networks in order to be compatible with the technical requirements of any devices or networks used with or in conjunction with the Application. You acknowledge that you shall not submit any third person’s information whether confidential or otherwise while using the Service and Bandhu will not be responsible for any third person’s information if submitted by you.


You may remove Submitted Content from the Application at any time, and the license granted above to other Users and to Bandhu automatically expires for future use.


Representations and warranties. You, as the User, are solely responsible for your own Submitted Content and the consequences of posting and/or publishing it. You must own the licenses, rights, and consents to authorize Bandhu to use your submitted content, and must have the written consent, release, and/or permission of every identifiable person identified in your Submitted Content to include such persons in your Submitted Content.


Security of Your Personal Data

The security of your Personal Data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.


We strive to use commercially acceptable means which may include processes for de-identification/encryption, as well as prevention of unauthorized access to and misuse of data, to protect your Personal Data. However, we cannot guarantee your Personal Data’s absolute security.


Children's Privacy

Our Service neither addresses nor is available to anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 18 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

We also may limit how we collect, use, and store some of the information of Users between 18 and 21 years old. In some cases, this means we will be unable to provide certain functionalities of the Service to these users.

If we need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your information and your country requires consent from a parent, we may require your parent's consent before we collect and use that information.

Links to Other Websites

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
