Abhi Burnishing
Tools Privacy Policy
We respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. That
is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy
Policy lets you know how your personal information is
processed and used. We promise that we will take steps to use
your personal information only in ways that are compatible
with this Privacy Policy. The following policies are only in
effect for the Web pages, newsletters, discussion forums and
lists and opt-in announcement lists owned and operated by Abhi
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. (collectively hereafter "Abhi").
(The Abhi Network includes all Web sites and certain other
Internet media properties hyper linked from the
Abhiburnishingtools.com home page.) The following discloses
our Privacy Policy.
What information are you collecting and how are you
collecting it?
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain
name and a set of numbers, that serve as that computer's
"Internet Protocol" IP address. When a visitor requests a page
from any Web site within the Abhi Network, our Web servers
automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP
address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing
personal about you other than the IP address from which you
have accessed our site. We use this information to examine our
traffic in aggregate, and to investigate misuse of the Abhi
Network, its users, or to cooperate with law enforcement. See
also Will you disclose the information you collect to outside
third parties? We do not collect and evaluate this information
for specific individuals. Our Web servers do not automatically
record e-mail addresses of the visitors.
What are cookies?
From time to time, Abhi or its advertisers may send a "cookie"
to your computer. A cookie is a small piece of data that is
sent to your Internet browser from a Web server and stored on
your computer's hard drive. A cookie can't read data off of
your computer hard disk or read cookie files created by other
Web sites. Cookies do not damage your system. We use cookies
to identify which areas of Abhi's Network you have visited or
customized, so the next time you visit, those pages may be
readily accessible. Our advertisers may also use cookies to
ascertain how many times you've seen an advertisement. Our
advertisers and we may use this information to better
personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you see
on our site. You can choose whether to accept cookies by
changing the settings of your Internet browser. You can reset
your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to
show you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to
accept these cookies, your experience at our Site and other
Web sites may be diminished and some features may not work as
intended.
How do you use single-pixel gifs?
Abhi and its advertisers may use single-pixel gif images,
sometimes referred to as web bugs or web beacons, to count Web
page accesses and gather some general statistical information.
Abhi does not gather personal information through the use of
these images.
What information do you collect when I register for
something?
Abhi offers access to some services that require registration.
We may use your registration contact information to send
notification to you of Abhi products and services by e-mail
and/or postal mail. We also may share that information with
our clients. Our clients may send you promotional material
that is related to the topic of the service for which you
registered. We may also use your IP address internally and
share it with third parties.
What other information do you request?
We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for
the purposes of conducting a survey or to provide additional
services (for example, subscriptions to e-mail newsletters,
announcement lists or information about conferences and trade
shows). Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will
clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the
information is requested. We maintain a strict "No-Spam"
policy that means that we do not sell, rent, or otherwise give
your e-mail address to a third-party, without your consent or
as permitted by this Privacy Policy.
We may from time to time send e-mail announcing new Abhi
products and services. Except as stated above, Abhi will not
send you e-mail that you have not agreed to receive. If you
choose to supply your postal address in an online form, you
may receive postal mailings from other third party companies.
When you sign up for an Abhi discussion forum, your name or
alias is recorded solely for purposes of maintaining your own
account within the forums. This information is not used to
monitor your activity within a forum, nor is it used to
identify you outside the Abhi network.
When you register for a contest or other promotion, we may ask
for your name, address, and e-mail address so we can
administer the contest and notify winners.
When you use co-branded services, or those provided by a third
party, within the Abhi Network, your information may be passed
to the co-brand or third party provider and their use of your
information is subject to their applicable privacy policies.
What information do you collect when I purchase something?
If you are purchasing something from an Abhi media property,
we and any third party provider, need to know your name,
e-mail address, mailing address, credit card number and
expiration date. This allows us, or third party providers, to
process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order
status. This information may also be used by us to notify you
of related products and services. Credit card and e-mail
information will not be shared or sold to third parties for
any purpose except as provided in this Privacy Policy without
your express permission.
Certain Abhi media properties use a shopping cart feature that
safeguards this information by using industry standard SSL
(Secure Socket Layer) encrypted servers. SSL codes the
information transferred between you and the server, rendering
it unreadable to anyone trying to intercept the information.
Other Abhi media properties do not use SSL and thereby do not
offer a secure coded way to transfer information.
Wherever Abhi collects personal information we make an effort
to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.
Will you disclose the information you collect to outside
third parties?
Abhi will disclose personal information and/or an IP address,
when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such
action is necessary to:
1) Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful
activities and conform to the edicts of the law or comply with
legal process served on Abhi,
2) Protect and defend the rights or property of the Abhi
Network of sites and related properties, or visitors to the
Abhi Network of sites and related properties,
3) Identify persons who may be violating the law, the Abhi
legal notice and Web site User Agreement, the rights of third
parties, or otherwise misusing the Abhi Network or its related
properties,
4) Fulfill a user's order or request.
Abhi uses reasonable precautions to keep the information
disclosed to us secure. Abhi reserves the right to transfer
all such information in connection with the sale of all or
part of Abhi's capital stock or assets. Furthermore, we are
not responsible for any breach of security or for any actions
of any third parties that receive the information. We are not
responsible for such third party privacy policies or how they
treat information about their users
See below, What else should I know about my privacy when
online? See What information do you collect when I register
for something.
Opt-in announcement List Privacy Policy
As an added benefit to the visitors of the Abhi Network of
sites, we have a relationship with PostMasterDirect, an
independent, third party company that sends e-mail
announcements to individuals who request to receive them. When
you sign up for an Abhi e-mail newsletter, you are given the
opportunity to also receive announcement lists from
PostmasterDirect. Whether you want to receive these
announcement lists is your choice; you should only receive
those lists you affirmatively choose to. If you choose to
receive a specific announcement list, you will receive
commercial messages that are related to the topic of the list
from independent third parties that have contracted with Abhi
and/or PostMaster Direct to send messages to the list.
Personally identifiable information will not be used by Abhi
or PostMasterDirect for any purposes other than to deliver the
e-mail announcements. You may stop the arrival of these
announcement lists at any time by removing your e-mail address
from the list by forwarding the announcement list to deleteall@postmasterdirect.com,
or by following the instructions on the e-mails you receive.
Click here to see the Postmaster Direct privacy policy.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose
personal information online - for example through e-mail,
discussion lists, or elsewhere - that information can be
collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal
information online that is accessible to the public, you may
receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the
secrecy of your personal information. Please be careful and
responsible whenever you're online.
Your Consent To This Agreement
By using the Abhi Network, you consent to the collection and
use of information by Abhi as specified above. We reserve the
right to modify this policy. If we decide to change our
Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on this page so
that you are always aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
