This privacy policy ("Policy") applies to the Web site and mobile application owned and operated by Ragasudha. ("Ragasudha/Talasangati "we" or "us") located at Ragasudha101.blogspot.in(the "Site") and the Ragasudha/Talasangati service accessed through our mobile application, collectively (the “service”). The Policy is designed to tell you how we collect and use personal information (as defined below) so you can make an informed decision about using our Site and the Ragasudha/Talasangati service. Please read this statement before submitting any personal information to us.


WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION

As used herein, the term "personal information" means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as a name, address, telephone number, mobile number, e-mail address, credit card number or other account number), and information about that individual's location or activities, such as information about his or her use of the Ragasudha/Talasangati service, when directly linked to personally identifiable information. Personal information also includes demographic information such as date of birth, gender, geographic area and preferences when such information is linked to other personal information that identifies you. Personal information does not include "aggregate" information, which is data we collect about the use of the Site or service or categories of Site and service users, from which any personal information has been removed. For example, information that forty-seven percent of the Site's registered users identify themselves as male, is aggregate information. We collect aggregate data for a number of purposes, including to help us understand trends and user needs so that we can better consider new publications, products and services, and tailor existing publications, products and services to user desires. This policy in no way limits or restricts our collection of aggregate information.

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Personal information may be collected in a number of ways when you use the various services and activities available through the Ragasudha/Talasangati service. At several places within our mobile application, we may collect certain information you voluntarily provide to us which may contain personal information. For example, if you register for the mobile application or service, send us an email, or submit content, we may collect your name, photo, demographic information that you provide. In addition, from time to time we may collect contact or other personal or demographic information you provide in connection with your participation in surveys or promotional offers.

When you use the service, via your mobile device, some information is also automatically collected, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, your operating system, the browser type, the address of a referring web site, and your activity on the application and through the service. We treat this information as personal information if we combine it with or link it to any of the identifying information mentioned above. Otherwise, it is used in the aggregate only. If you no longer wish to allow us to collect and use your location information, you may discontinue the use of the service.

We may also automatically collect certain information through the use of "cookies." Cookies are small data files that are stored on a user's hard drive at the request of a Web site to enable the site to recognize users who have previously visited them and retain certain information such as customer preferences and history. If we combine cookies with or link them to any of the personal information, we would treat this information as personal information. If you wish to block, erase, or be warned of cookies, please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn about these functions.

Mobile Analytics

This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and from where the application was downloaded. We do not link the information we store within the analytics software to any personally identifiable information you submit within the mobile application.

Usage and Disclosure
