The security and confidentiality of your personal data is extremely important to us. We have and we shall continue to use reasonable physical, technical and administrative methods commensurate with industry practice and the applicable law including the Information Technology Act, 2000 to secure your Information from any loss, theft, or unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. From time to time, we review our security procedures in order to consider appropriate new technology and methods. 

Please be aware though that, despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect and impenetrable, and no data transmissions over the web can be guaranteed 100% secure. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and do so at your own risk. In connection with the same, we advise you to observe certain best practices in relation to the information deemed confidential and private by you including your passwords. 

If we collect information from your computer, we encrypt it while it’s being transferred to us. Once the information reaches our secure servers, as part of our security program, we employ standard procedures and safeguards, such as maintaining firewalls and having an intrusion detection system, to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of the information we maintain.

However, as with any information travelling over the internet and kept in servers, we cannot guarantee absolute security. When we work with third parties, we require that they maintain the confidentiality, security and integrity of the information and commit that the information is not used for any prohibited purpose. Additionally, we use commercially reasonable computer security safeguards to protect our databases and servers against risks of loss, unauthorized access, destruction, misuse, modification, or inadvertent or improper disclosure of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data. We restrict access to personal information to our employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order for us to provide, develop or improve our Services. Security risks, however, cannot be completely eliminated and we therefore cannot guarantee complete security. If you send us an email, you should know that email is not necessarily secured against interception. Therefore, if your communication will include sensitive information like your bank account, charge card, or social security number, and you prefer not to transmit it electronically, please contact us by postal mail or telephone rather than email. We do not send emails asking for a user’s username and password or its windows username and password or any other username or password.

We offer our users a comprehensive grievance redressal mechanism in relation to their privacy concerns on the Website/App. You can address your concerns related to this Policy or our privacy practices by sharing your relevant details which include your name, age, date of birth and the concern and the same can be emailed at boop@sploot.tech.
