At
Kashmir Surgical Works, we respect your right
to privacy and we understand that visitors
to
www.kashsurg.com
(the “Site”) need to control the
uses of their personal information. On
the Site, Kashmir Surgicals allows individuals
to request and download information regarding
our products and services. The privacy policy
below describes the measures taken by us to
protect your privacy in connection with your
use of our Site.
WHAT
INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT AND WHEN DO WE COLLECT
IT?
Registration. When
you register, we ask for your name, title,
name and type of organization, field, function,
mailing address, e-mail address, telephone
and fax number, customer number, password
and other information. Once you are a registered
user you can update your profile and you may
elect to provide additional information.
In
addition we may, from time to time, request
demographic information from you (for example,
your age, education level or household income).
IP Address. An Internet Protocol (“IP”)
address is a unique string of numbers that
is assigned to your computer by your Internet
Service Provider. Web servers automatically
identify your computer by its IP address. We
will use your IP address to help diagnose
problems with our server and to administer
our Site. Your IP address also may be
used to gather broad demographic information.
Cookies. A
“cookie” is a small data file
that can be placed on your hard drive when
you visit certain websites. We may use
cookies to collect, store and sometimes track
information for statistical purposes to improve
the services we provide. If you are
a registered user, we may use a cookie to
save your settings and to provide customizable
and personalized services. These cookies
do not enable third parties to access any
of your personal information. Additionally,
be aware that if you visit other websites
you may be required to accept cookies. Advertisers
and partners may also use their own cookies.
We do not control use of these cookies and
expressly disclaim responsibility for information
collected through them.
HOW
DO WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT?
Requests for information.
We use your contact information to respond
to your inquiries and requests for information.
Customized experience. We gather your
information to provide you with a customized
experience on our Site. Your information
helps us tailor the content, services, goods
and advertising to your current and future
needs.
Marketing materials.
If you register with our Site, from time to
time, we may send you e-mail messages and
physical mailings informing you of our products
and services and also third party products
and services we believe may be of interest
to you, such as new features and services,
special offers and updated information. Our
e-mail newsletters may contain code that enables
our database to track your usage of the newsletters,
including whether the e-mail was opened and/or
what links (if any) were clicked. We
will combine such information with other information
we have about you and may use this information
to improve your experience with our Site and/or
provide customized e-mail communications to
you.
Market
survey. We may compile, aggregate and use
the information we collect for statistical
analysis, benchmarking and research purposes.
WHO
DO WE SHARE YOUR REGISTRATION INFORMATION
WITH?
We
will not share personally identifiable information
with third parties (aside from entities that
perform services for us, such as Kashmir Surgicals
distributors, that either are bound to comply
with our privacy policy or have privacy policies
that protect your information).
We
may, however, disclose personally identifiable
information you provide if required to do
so by law or if we have a good faith belief
that disclosure is necessary to (1) comply
with the law or with legal process served
on us; (2) protect and defend our rights or
property; or (3) act in an emergency to protect
someone’s safety.
We
may share aggregated personal data that we
compile from the Site with third parties. Information
used for these purposes is used in aggregate
form only, without identifying or being capable
of identifying the source of the information.
As
we develop our business, we may buy or sell
assets, and, depending upon the transaction,
your information may be one of the transferred
assets. In the event that we are acquired
by another company, your personal information
may be part of the assets transferred to the
acquiring party.
WHAT
ARE YOUR OPTIONS TO CONTROL THE USE OF YOUR
REGISTRATION INFORMATION?
Although most users of our Site tell us they
value receiving our newsletters and information
regarding products or services provided by
us or others, we recognize the importance
of providing you with choice and control.
If you would rather not receive emails about
new products, services or other noteworthy
news, please contact us:
Kashsurg@gmail.com
WHAT
ABOUT CHILDREN’S PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE
INFORMATION?
Our
Site is not directed to children under the
age of 13. We respect the privacy of
parents and children and are committed to
complying with the Children’s Online
Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). On
those areas of our Site that ask for age,
we do not collect personal information from
individuals who identify themselves as under
the age of 13 except in those limited circumstances
where we believe that such collection is permitted
under COPPA.
We
may ask prospective users to provide their
age during the registration process and on
other areas of our Site. If a user indicates
that he or she is under the age of 13 then
all personal data collected during the registration
process is automatically deleted except that
we may retain and use limited information,
such as the child’s email address, for
a limited period of time, in those cases where
we believe that the collection and use of
such information is permitted under COPPA.
If a parent believes that his or her child
has provided us with personal information,
he or she can contact us via e-mail or postal
mail as listed below. We will promptly
delete the information upon learning that
it relates to a child under the age of 13.
We
believe that parents should supervise their
children’s online activities and consider
using parental control tools available from
online services and software manufacturers
that help provide a kid-friendly online environment.
These tools can also prevent children from
otherwise disclosing online their name, address
and other personal information without parental
permission.
WHAT
ELSE SHOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR PRIVACY?
Security. We have security measures in
place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration
of the information under our control. These
security measures include a firewall to prevent
unauthorized access to our systems and maintenance
of registration information in a separate
database. Although we will exercise reasonable
care in providing secure transmission of information
between your computer and our servers, we
cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
information transmitted to us over the Internet
and we accept no liability for any unintentional
disclosure. If you have any queries or
suggestions concerning data protection, please
contact: Sagar Bhardwaj or Vijay Bhardwaj
at +91 171 2540154 (telephone) or +91 171
2540735 (fax).

and pointers to Internet sites maintained
by third parties. These links are provided

operate or endorse in any respect information,

and are not responsible for their content. Many
third-party sites have their own privacy policies

control the policies of other sites.
