The objective of this privacy policy is to maintain transparency about the information we collect and elucidate how your ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ (PII) is being used online. Legally, PII is information that can be utilized on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. We urge you to go through our privacy policy carefully to get a clear idea of how we collect, use, protect, or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.

However, no security procedures or protocols are ever guaranteed to be 100% secure and so we encourage you to take care when disclosing personal information online and to use readily available tools, such as Internet firewalls, anti-virus and anti-spyware software, and similar technologies to protect yourself online.
