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.

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.

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.
