Policy
PVKL Tech Services Private Limited, (“Provakil”) operates several websites including provakil.com and
several mobile applications including the Provakil.com android application. It is Provakil’s policy to
respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites and mobile
applications.
Website Visitors
Like most website and mobile application operators, Provakil collects non-personally-identifying
information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser
type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. In addition,
the mobile application may collect certain information automatically, including, but not limited to, the
type of mobile device you use, your mobile devices unique device ID, the IP address of your mobile
device, your mobile operating system, the type of mobile Internet browsers you use, and information
about the way you use the mobile application. Provakil’s purpose in collecting non-personally
identifying information is to better understand how Provakil’s visitors use its websites and mobile
applications. From time to time, Provakil may release non-personally-identifying information in the
aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Provakil also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP)
addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blog. Provakil only discloses logged
in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses
personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email
addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrator of the blog.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Provakil’s websites and mobile application choose to interact with Provakil in ways
that require Provakil to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information
that Provakil gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up
for account at Provakil.com to provide their name, address contact number and email address. Those who
engage in transactions with Provakil – by purchasing access to Provakil.com, for example – are asked to
provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required
to process those transactions. In each case, Provakil collects such information only insofar as is
necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Provakil. Provakil does
not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always
refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from
engaging in certain website or mobile application related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Provakil may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites and mobile applications.
For instance, Provakil may monitor the most popular type of cases tracked and use it for general
research. Provakil may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Provakil does
not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Provakil discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to
those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information
in order to process it on Provakil’s behalf or to provide services available at Provakil’s websites and
mobile applications, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees,
contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using
Provakil’s websites, and/or Provakil’s mobile application you consent to the transfer of such
information to them. Provakil will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and
personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated
organizations, as described above, Provakil discloses potentially personally-identifying and
personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental
request, or when Provakil believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the
property or rights of Provakil, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an
Provakil website or mobile application and have supplied your email address,
Provakil may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or
just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Provakil and our products. We primarily use our blog
to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you
send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve
the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support
other users. Provakil takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized
access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying
information.
