Privacy Policy
Your privacy on our Website :
The primary purpose of Orissa Educational
Resource Portal website is to be a dynamic resource & education tool to help students,
teachers and parents. We want you to feel secure when visiting our site and are
committed to maintaining your privacy when doing so. The following provides an overview
of how we protect your privacy during your visit.
What information do we gather?
Information on Orissa Educational Resource
Portal website is gathered in only way i.e, directly (for example, when you provide
information on various pages of this website).
We collect information directly from
you in a number of ways, some of which we describe in this Privacy Statement. One
way is through the use of cookies. Cookies are small files of information which
save and retrieve information about your visit to our website—for example, how you
entered our site, how you navigated through the site, and what information was of
interest to you. The cookies we use identify you merely as a number. (If you are
uncomfortable regarding cookies use, please keep in mind you can disable cookies
on your computer by changing the settings in preferences or options menu in your
browser.)
We also collect information when you
voluntarily submit it to us. Throughout our site, we provide the opportunity to
register to have access to various activities. When we collect this type of information,
we will notify you as to why we are asking for information and how this information
will be used. It is completely up to you whether or not you want to provide it.
How do we use this information?
We analyze it to determine what is most
effective about our site, to help us identify ways to improve it, and eventually,
to determine how we can tailor this website to make it more effective. We may also
use data for other purposes, which we would describe to you at the point we collect
the information.
Will we share this with outside parties?
We will not sell individual
information and will share it only with our advisors. There will be other times
when we need to share information, for example, in the case of an event where we
need to provide your preferences to make this website more handy for you. But again,
before you submit any information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for
specific information and it is completely up to you whether or not you want to provide
it.
What about sensitive personal data?
We do not generally seek to collect sensitive
personal data through this site. If we do seek to collect such data, we will ask
you to consent to our proposed uses of the data. We may also collect some sensitive
personal data incidentally. By providing us with unsolicited sensitive personal
data, you consent to our using the data subject to applicable law as described in
this Privacy Statement. The references to "sensitive personal data" are to the various
categories of personal data identified by European and other data privacy laws as
requiring special treatment, including in some circumstances the need to obtain
explicit consent. These categories comprise personal identity numbers, personal
data about personality and private life, racial or ethnic origin, nationality, political
opinions, membership of political parties or movements, religious, philosophical
or other similar beliefs, membership of a trade union or profession or trade association,
physical or mental health, genetic code, addictions, sexual life, property matters
or criminal record (including information about suspected criminal activities).
Do we give you access to your information?
You are entitled to know whether we hold
information about you and, if we do, to have access to that information and require
it to be corrected if it is inaccurate. You can do this by sending us an e-mail.
What about data security?
We take appropriate steps to maintain the security of
your data on our website. You should understand that the open nature of
the Internet is such that data may flow over networks without security measures
and may be accessed and used by people other than those for whom the data is intended.
That's it in a nutshell. The short of it is—we are interested in maintaining your
privacy and creating a valuable resource for you to use. If you have any questions
now or during your visit, please contact us.
