Use of Cookies:
To improve the effectiveness and usability of the Portal for our Users, we use “cookies”, or such similar electronic tools to collect information to assign each visitor a unique random number as a User Identification (User ID) to understand the User’s individual interests using the identified device. Unless the User voluntarily identifies himself/herself (e.g., through registration), Twelfth Man has no way of knowing who the User is, even if we assign a cookie to the User’s device. The only information a cookie can contain is information supplied by the User. A cookie cannot read data off the User’s device hard drive. Twelfth Man’s advertisers may also assign their own cookies to the User’s device (if the User clicks on their ad banners), a process that Twelfth Man does not control.
Twelfth Man’s web servers automatically collect limited information about User’s device connection to the Internet, including User’s IP address, when the User uses the Portal. (User’s IP address is a number that lets devices attached to the Internet know where to send data to the User — such as the web pages viewed by the User). The User’s IP address does not identify the User personally. Twelfth Man uses this information to deliver its web pages to Users upon request, to tailor its Portal to the interests of its users, to measure traffic within the Portal and let advertisers know the geographic locations from where Twelfth Man’s visitors come.
Links:
Twelfth Man also includes links to other websites. Such websites are governed by their respective privacy policies, which are beyond Twelfth Man’s control. Once the User leaves Twelfth Man’s servers (the User can tell where he/she is by checking the URL in the location bar on the User’s browser), use of any information provided by the User is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site which the User is visiting. That policy may differ from Twelfth Man’s own. If the User can’t find the privacy policy of any of these sites via a link from the site’s homepage, the User may contact the site directly for more information. Twelfth Man is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites.
Security Procedures:
All information gathered on Twelfth Man is securely stored within the Twelfth Man-controlled database. The database is stored on servers secured behind a firewall; access to such servers being password-protected and strictly limited based on need-to-know basis. However, we understand that as effective as our security measures are, no security system is impenetrable. Thus, we cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. Further, any information you include in a posting to the discussion areas will be available to anyone with internet access. By using the Portal, you understand and agree that your information may be used in or transferred to countries other than India.
