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 lists and opt-in announcement lists owned and
operated by Pakistan Review. The Pakistan Review Partner Network includes
all websites and other Internet media properties listed on the Pakistan
Review. 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". When a visitor
requests a page from any Website within the Pakistan Review 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, but do not collect and
evaluate this information for individuals. Our Web servers do not record
e-mail addresses of the visitors.
What are cookies?
From time to time, Pakistan Review or its advertisers may send a ‘cookie’ to
your computer. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your
browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie
can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other
sites. Cookies do not damage your system. We use cookies to identify which
areas of Pakistan Review Network of Websites 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 Sites.
You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your
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 Websites may be
diminished and some features may not work as intended.
How do you use single-pixel gifs?
Pakistan Review 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. Pakistan Review does not
gather personal information through the use of these images. Our advertisers
may use single-pixel gifs that can track personal information from cookies
that may have been previously placed on a user's computer by an advertiser.
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
seminars). 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 intend to sell,
rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to a third-party, without your
consent.
In addition, Pakistan Review will not send you email that you have not
agreed to receive. We may from time to time send e-mail announcing new
Pakistan Review products and services. If you choose to supply your postal
address in an online form, you may receive mailings from other reputable,
third party companies.
When you sign up for an Pakistan Review 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 Pakistan Review Network in
any way.
When you enter 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.
What information do you collect when I purchase something?
If you are purchasing something from an Pakistan Review media property, we
need to know your name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card number,
and expiration date. This allows us 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 product and services, but will not be shared or sold
to third parties for any purpose.
Wherever Pakistan Review collects personal information we make an effort to
include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page:
http://www.pakistanreview.com/privacypolicy.htm
Will you disclose the information you collect to outside third parties?
Pakistan Review will disclose personal information when required by law or
in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:
1) Conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal process served on
Pakistan Review,
2) Protect and defend the rights or property of the Pakistan Review network
of sites, or visitors to Pakistan Review,
3) Identify persons who may be violating the law, the legal notice, or the
rights of third parties,
4) Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities.
Pakistan Review uses reasonable precautions to keep the information
disclosed to us secure. Pakistan Review reserves the right to transfer
information in connection with the sale of all or part of Pakistan Review.
Furthermore, we are not responsible for any breach of security or for any
actions of any third parties that receive the information. Pakistan Review
also links to a wide variety of other sites and contains advertisements of
third parties. We are not responsible for their privacy policies or how they
treat information about their users See below, What else should I know about
my privacy when online?
Opt-in announcement List Privacy Policy
As an added benefit to the visitors of Pakistan Review, we have a
relationship with Third Party, an independent, third party company that
sends e-mail announcements to individuals who request to receive them. When
you sign up for an Pakistan Review e-mail newsletter, you are given the
opportunity to also receive announcement lists from Third Party. 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 Pakistan Review to send messages to the list. Personally
identifiable information will not be used by Pakistan Review or Third Party
for any purposes other than to deliver the newsletters. 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
remove@pakistanreview.com ,
or by following the instructions on the e-mails you receive.
What else should I know about my privacy when online?
The Pakistan Review website and partners contain many links to other
Websites. Pakistan Review is not responsible for the privacy practices or
the content of such Websites. Pakistan Review does not share any of the
individual personal information you provide Pakistan Review with the sites
to which Pakistan Review links, although Pakistan Review may share aggregate
data with such Websites (such as how many people use our Site).
Please check with those sites to determine their 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 our Website, you consent to the collection and use of information
by Pakistan Review as specified above. 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.
