Privacy Policy

 

Advance Water Digest Pvt. Ltd. has adopted a set of information management guidelines that serve as the basis for our relationships with our friends, visitors, customers and others interested in environment, development and sustainability issues. These guidelines have been developed with the recognition that Internet technologies are rapidly evolving, and that underlying business models are still not established. Accordingly, guidelines are subject to change. If the changes represent a material departure from our current practices concerning the use of personal information, the changes will be posted on this page thirty days before taking effect.

Most importantly we understand and appreciate how much you care about how your personal information is used and shared. We take your privacy very seriously.

Information gathered and tracked
Information submitted through all feedback forms on any Water Digest website is stored in a database. Specifically, we store the name, e-mail address, and demographic information (address, occupation, etc.) of the visitors to our website who wish to receive certain free services from Water Digest, including but not limited to newsletters, email lists, and online discussions. We also use such information to send out occasional promotional materials, including alerts on new publications available for sale. We have marked which information is optional and which is mandatory.

As a proactive organization deeply involved in disseminating research on science, environment, development and sustainability, such information is crucial in helping us sustain our advocacy efforts. We guarantee that personal information about users will not be provided to any third party without their consent. We perform statistical analyses of user behavior to measure interest in our newsletters and other services for future content development purposes.
