We reserve the right to share all public content on any social media site or other online/offline Platforms. We will never rent or sell your Personal Information to third parties, except on an anonymized basis, unless expressly provided in these terms.

We may share your Personal Information with any member of our Group. The term "Group" shall mean any entity that is controlled by us, or any entity that is in control of us, or any entity that is under common control with us, whether directly or indirectly.

When you share content and communicate using our Platforms, you choose the audience for what you share. We do not control and hence shall not be liable for the manner in which persons with whom you choose to share content use the information that you share with them.

2.4.2. We may also disclose your information to select third parties if the Company or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets such that your information would be transferred or become subject to a different Privacy Policy, we will notify you in advance so you can opt out by deleting your account before transfer.

3.1. We may make certain products and/or services available to users of the App in consideration of a subscription fee or other fees ("Premium Services"), including the ability to purchase virtual goods and enhancements ("In-App Products").

We have in place appropriate technical and security measures to secure the information collected by us. Where we have given you a username and password which enables you to access the Platforms, you are responsible for keeping these details confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

We store your data with Amazon Web Services cloud platform provided by Amazon Web Services, Inc. and also on Google Cloud Platform provided by Google LLC, on their servers located in India. Both implement security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information. Their privacy policies are available at https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/ and https://policies.google.com/privacy.

The Company may periodically update this Privacy Policy. Whenever we make any changes that are important for you to know about, we will post the updated Privacy Policy at this link. It is your responsibility to keep checking this page from time to time in order to be aware of any changes made to this Privacy Policy.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Platforms; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.

8.1. You are free to remove or delete content from your user account/profile at any point in time. However, the history of your activities and account on our Platforms remains available to us.

8.2. You may correct, amend, add or delete Personal Information from your account at any time by logging in and visiting your profile page.

8.4. We reserve the right to deny your request if we cannot verify your identity. Where we deny your request in whole or in part, we will endeavour to inform you of the denial and provide an explanation of our actions.

8.5. Under Rule 5(6) of the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011 ("Rules"), you have a right to ask us to review, correct and amend the information we collect about you at any point in time. You can exercise any of these rights at any time by contacting us at support@alnicotech.com. We require a reasonable period of 30 (thirty) days to comply with any of your requests.

We do not retain your Sensitive Personal Information for longer than is reasonably required for the purposes for which the information may be lawfully used or as required by applicable law. For any other content, we will entertain your request for deletion; however, there is a strong possibility that copies of any public content will be retained indefinitely in our systems, including in cached and archived pages of the Platforms, or if other users have copied or saved that information.

The Platforms may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers, Affiliates and/or any other websites or mobile applications. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites or mobile applications.

11.1. Some of the content displayed on the Platforms is not hosted by the Platforms. These "embeds" are hosted by a third-party and embedded in the Platforms. These files send data to the hosted site just as if you were visiting that site directly.

11.2. The Platforms do not control what data third parties collect or what they will do with it. Third party embeds on the Platforms are not covered by this Privacy Policy. They are covered by the privacy policy of the third-party service.

11.3. Some embeds may ask you for Personal Information through a form. We do our best to keep bad actors off the Platforms. However, if you choose to submit your information to a third party this way, we do not know what they may do with it and assume no responsibility or liability in this regard.

11.4. If you embed a form that allows submission of Personal Information by users, you must provide near the embedded form a prominent link to an applicable Privacy Policy that clearly states how you intend to use any information collected. Failure to do so may lead the Company to disable the post or take other action to limit or disable your account.

The Platforms should only be used or accessed by persons who are competent to enter into a legally binding contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. If you are a minor (under the age of 18 years), you may use the Platforms only with the involvement of your parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect or use any information from minors. If you are a parent and become aware that your child has provided us with information, please contact us at support@alnicotech.com.

We may from time to time send you service-related announcements when we consider it necessary to do so (such as when we temporarily suspend the Platforms for maintenance, security, privacy, or administrative-related communications). We send these to you via SMS. You may not opt-out of these service-related announcements, which are not promotional in nature and used solely to protect your account and keep you informed of important changes to the Platforms.
