You agree and give consent to our collection, use, and sharing of your personal information as described in this policy by using services provided by The Tamizhkalam Group websites (for instance, when you register for an account, communicate with us on our sites or applications, or through social media).
Our mobile applications are subject to this policy as well. The most recent version of mobile applications should always be used. We may not be responsible or liable for any damages resulting from the collection, storage, and processing of your personal information as per an older version of a mobile application if you use an older version of these apps and/or access discontinued services.
You can only provide us with personal information voluntarily. Name, address, email address, information about your interests in and use of different services, as well as other types of personally identifiable data, may all be collected by us. In order to continue interacting with you and providing the Services, we will retrieve information from any other accounts you use to register, such as those on Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, etc.
You might enter your name and email address, for instance, if you want to sign up for our newsletters, participate in our discussion forum, or send us feedback. When using our "Mail This Story" feature, you may also enter the name and email address of another person in addition to your own. Without your express permission, we will not give or sell any of the information you provide to any private company or individual. We might also gather more information from you at other times, such as when you give us feedback or comments, alter your email or content preferences, take our survey, or communicate with us in any other way.
Links to other websites whose privacy policies may differ from ours occasionally appear on our website(s). Visitors should review the privacy policies on the other sites since we have no control over the data that is provided to or collected by these third parties.
The advertisements you see on our pages are served by a trustworthy third party as well. Our third-party advertiser may set or recognize a special "cookie" on your browser as part of the ad-serving process and use information (excluding your name, address, and email address) about your visits to this and other websites in order to deliver advertisements for products and services you may find interesting.
We automatically collect and store certain information about your visit if you only use our website(s) to browse, read pages, or download information without registering for any of our services. You cannot be personally identified from this information.
The type of browser you are using (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the operating system you are using (e.g., Windows 98 or Mac OS), the domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., America Online, Satyam Online, Mantra Online, VSNL), the date and time of your visit, the pages you visit, geographical information like Country, Region, or City, etc. are the types of information that are automatically gathered. We occasionally use this anonymous data to enhance the look and feel of our website(s), as well as its content and primarily to enhance your browsing experience.
The unique DoubleClick cookie ID on the user's browser is overwritten with the word "OPT-OUT" if they choose to opt out using the Ads Settings. The opt-out cookie can no longer be connected to a specific browser because there is no longer a distinct cookie ID.
When you visit our site, application, or service, we automatically log a small amount of data, including your IP address, about the Internet connection of your computer and your mobile device. Your IP address is a number that tells internet-connected devices where to send information, like the pages you visit. Your IP address, the name of your computer, the type, and version of your browser, the CPU speed, and the connection speed are all pieces of information that we automatically receive and log from your browser. Additionally, we might gather log data from your device, such as its location, IP address, name, serial number, or unique identification number (such as the UDiD on an iOS device), operating system, browser type, and version, CPU speed, and connection speed, among other things.
In order to confidentially track the online behavior of our Users without personally identifying them, we may use "clear GIFs" (Web Beacons). In order to track which emails are opened by recipients, we might also use clear GIFs in HTML-based emails we send to our users. We use this information, among other things, to deliver our web pages to you upon request, to customize our sites and services to the interests of our users, to track user traffic within our sites in order to enhance their functionality, quality, and interactivity, and to provide advertisers with information about the regions from which our users originate without identifying any individual users.

Any information you provide after leaving our servers is used in accordance with the owner of the website you are visiting's privacy policies. For more details, it is advised to read their privacy policies.
We keep your personal information as long as it's required for us to continue offering you services unless you specifically request that we delete it. Based on your account activity and in accordance with applicable law, you can request that we delete your personal information and close your services account if you no longer want Us to use it (s). You can make a request to delete your information by sending a letter, an email with an electronic signature, or both to our designated grievance officers. Please be aware that if you have more than one account with Us, you will need to submit separate requests with each account's associated email address or phone number.
We might acquire details about you from other sources, add them to the data we already have about you, and handle them in line with this Policy. Your account information and order information may be given to us if you provide it to the platform provider or another partner to whom we provide services.
In order to send you communications and promotions that are more specifically tailored to you, we might consult other sources of demographic and other information. Among other tools, we use Google Analytics to monitor user activity on our websites. We have enabled Google Analytics specifically to support display advertising in order to better understand the demographics and preferences of our users. The reports are anonymous and can't be connected to any specific, personally identifiable data that you might have given us. Using Google's Ads Settings options, you can choose not to use Google Analytics for display advertising and modify Google Display Network ads.
Additionally, we use comScore and Chartbeat analytics on our website. These tools use anonymous data that cannot be used to identify specific users in order to map marketing reach, penetration, benchmarking, and analyze content performance.
Links to other websites or applications may be found on the Sites. We have no control over the privacy policies that apply to such websites or applications. The use of any information you submit is subject to the privacy policies of the operators of the application you are visiting once you leave our servers (you can determine where you are by looking at the URL in the location bar on your browser). Our privacy statement might not match that one. If you can't access any of these sites' privacy policies via a link from the application's home page, you should get in touch with the developers of the application directly.

However, we might use your email address for administrative or non-marketing purposes (such as notifying you of major changes, for customer service purposes, billing, etc.).

Anywhere we offer information access and correction, we do so without charge unless doing so would involve an unreasonable amount of work. After you delete your information, it might take some time for it to be removed from our active servers and it might still be present in our backup systems due to the way we maintain some services and/or due to requirements under applicable laws for preserving or retaining information.
