Disclaimer
This Online Privacy Statement applies to data collected by ASPL through its websites and services, as well as its offline product and support services. The Policy does not apply to the procedures and practices followed by entities that are not managed, owned or controlled by ASPL or to the personnel that are not engaged, employed or managed by ASPL.

Collection of Your Personal Information
For offering our services at different levels, ASPL may ask you to provide personal information, i.e., information that can be used to contact you or determine your specific identity such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone numbers. ASPL may also collect demographic information, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favourites. If you choose to purchase or sign up for a paid subscription service, ASPL may ask for additional information, such as your credit card number and billing address that ASPL will use to create a billing account.
To enable you to access some of ASPL’s services, you will be asked to sign in with an e-mail address and password, to be referred to by ASPL as your credentials. You can use the same credentials to sign and use different services of ASPL. If you access ASPL’s services via a mobile phone, you may use the same credentials to sign in. As part of creating your credentials, you may also be asked to provide questions and secret answers, which ASPL will use to help verify your identity and assist in resetting your password, as well as an alternate or child's email address. Some services may require added security, and in these cases, you may be asked to create an additional security key. Finally, a unique ID number will be assigned to your credentials which will be used to identify your credentials and associated information.
For purposes of statistics, and also to refine our services, ASPL may collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the links you click and other actions taken in connection with mindfiesta.com sites and services. Since ASPL delivers advertisements and provides website analytics of non-mindfiesta.com sites and services, ASPL may collect information about page views on these third party sites as well and additionally may collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring Web site addresses.
In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with mindfiesta.com web pages, information collected through surveys may be combined with information obtained through other ASPL services. ASPL may also supplement the information collected with information obtained from other companies. For example, ASPL may use services of other companies that enable ASPL to derive a general geographic area based on your IP address in order to customize certain services to your geographic area.
All such information pertaining to yourself or Children’s Information (Please see below), gathered by ASPL for the purposes described herein, is collectively referred to in this Statement as “Personal Information”.
Use of Your Personal Information
ASPL collects and uses your Personal Information to operate and improve its sites and deliver the services or carry out the transactions you have requested. These uses may include providing you with more effective customer service; making the sites or services easier to use by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information; performing research and analysis aimed at improving ASPL products, services and technologies; and displaying content and advertising that are customized to your interests and preferences.
ASPL may use some of the information collected in order to personalize the ads ASPL delivers to you. However, ASPL has designed its systems to select ads based only on data that do not personally and directly identify you. For example, ASPL may select the ads for display according to certain general interest categories or segments based on demographic data, including any you may have provided when creating an account (e.g. age, zip or postal code, gender), general demographic data acquired from other companies, and a general geographic location derived from your IP address, the pages you view and links you click when using mindfiesta.com and its partners’ web sites and services.
When ASPL displays personalized ads, ASPL strives to protect your privacy. For example, ASPL stores page views, clicks and search terms used for ad personalization separately from your contact information or other data that directly identifies you (such as your name, e-mail address, etc.). Further, ASPL technology and process keep a clear demarcation between your personal data and data collected through other means, preventing unauthorized correlation of this data.
ASPL also uses your Personal Information to communicate with you and may send certain mandatory service communications such as welcome letters, invoice, payment and/or billing reminders, information on technical service issues, updates, events, periodic member letters and other related announcements. ASPL may also occasionally send you product surveys or promotional mailings to inform you of other products or services available from ASPL and its affiliates.
Personal Information collected on mindfiesta.com sites and services may be stored and processed in India or any other country in which ASPL or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using a Mindfiesta site or service, your consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.

ASPL occasionally hires other companies to provide limited services on behalf of ASPL, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, hosting websites, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of ASPL services. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the Personal Information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
ASPL may access and/or disclose your Personal Information if such action is necessary to: (a) comply with the law or legal process served on ASPL; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of ASPL (including the enforcement of agreements); or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of these services or members of the public.

Security of Your Personal Information

A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
ASPL websites use cookies to store your preferences and other information on your computer in order to save you time by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information and to display your personalized content and appropriate advertising on your later visits to these sites.

This cookie allows you to move from page to page at the site without having to sign in again on each page. When you sign out, these cookies are deleted from your computer. ASPL also uses cookies to improve the sign in experience. For example, your e-mail address may be stored in a cookie that will remain on your computer after you sign out.

Controlling "Spam" or Unsolicited E-mail
ASPL is concerned about controlling unsolicited commercial e-mail, or "spam." ASPL will not sell, lease or rent its e-mail subscriber lists to third parties. While ASPL continues to actively review and implement new technology, such as expanded filtering features, there is no currently available technology that will totally prevent the sending and receiving of unsolicited e-mail. Using junk e-mail tools and being cautious about the sharing of your e-mail address, while online, will help reduce the amount of unsolicited e-mail you receive.
