It is Pune Times Mirror’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. This Privacy Policy applies to punemirror.com (hereinafter, “us”, “we”, or “punemirror.com”).

This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms of Service posted on our Website, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our Website. Depending on your activities when visiting our Website, you may be required to agree to additional terms of service.

1. Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Pune Times Mirror collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. PUNE TIMES MIRROR’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Pune Times Mirror’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Pune Times Mirror may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Pune Times Mirror also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on https://punemirror.com blog posts. Pune Times Mirror only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

2. Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Pune Times Mirror’s websites choose to interact with Pune Times Mirror in ways that require Pune Times Mirror to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Pune Times Mirror gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who leave a comment at https://punemirror.com to provide a username and email address.

3. Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
