Third Party Services

During Your use of the Platform, You may use/ access and/ or have a chance to use/ access third party platforms which are not affiliated to Us. Your use of such third party platforms shall independently be guided by such third party&#8218s privacy policies and We have no control over the same. We are not responsible for or have any control on the privacy or security policies of any third party sites/ applications/ platforms which may be linked to the Platform, and govern You or the information shared by You, during Your access to/ use of the Platform. You are requested to review the privacy and security practices and policies of each third-party site/ platform you visit. We do not endorse and are not responsible for any ads, content, products, advice, opinions, recommendations or other material of third party sites/ platforms that may be promoted via advertising.

Certain third party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for Your purchase-related transactions.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either You or Us. So, if You elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of such third party service provider, then Your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. As an example, if You are located in India and Your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then Your Personal Information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once You leave Our Platform or are redirected to a third party website or application, You are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or Our Platform&#8218s terms of service. When You click on links on Our Platform, they may direct You away from the Platform. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage You to read their privacy statements.

Certain third parties may collect, use and disclose Your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to Us to facilitate Your access to the Platform. In such a situation Your prior consent will be taken.

Security

The security of any Personal Information is important to Us. To protect Personal Information during transmission and upon receipt, We follow generally accepted industry standards, including using password protected systems and databases and secure socket layer technology. Our security practices and procedures are certified and are audited on a regular basis.

Information Collected posted on bulletin boards or communicated within a social media environment (for example, facebook, twitter, chat rooms) becomes public information. We do not have control of third party media platforms and cannot guarantee the security of this type of information once disclosed. If We become aware that any of Your Information Collected has been disclosed in a manner that is not in accordance with this Privacy Policy, We will use the best efforts to notify You of the nature and extent of such disclosure (to the extent We know that information) as soon as reasonably possible and as permitted by law.

Although We make best possible efforts to transmit and store all the personally identifiable Personal Information in a secure operating environment that is not open to public, You understand and acknowledge that there is no such thing as complete security and We do not guarantee that there will be no unintended disclosures of any Information Collected. While We take seriously the responsibility of prohibiting children from accessing prohibited Content, however, it is ultimately the responsibility of the legal guardians of such children to monitor their ward&#8218s internet activities where appropriately required.

You will solely be responsible for maintaining the privacy, security and confidentiality of Your access details (number, registration ID, password etc.) with respect to Your registered account as a Registered User. Any access to or use of Your registered account shall be construed as access or use of such registered account by You. You are responsible for the security of and access to Your own computer, mobile device or any other handset used to access the Platform.

Pursuant to Your use of the Platform, You may access links to third party websites or applications, including advertisements and/ or promotions. The privacy policies of such third party links are not under Our control, hence once You leave Our servers, use of any information provided by You will not be governed by this Privacy Policy.

Age of Consent

By using the Platform, you represent that You are at least the age of majority in Your state or province of residence and You have given Us Your consent to allow any of Your minor dependents to use this site.

If after You opt-in, You change Your mind, You may withdraw Your consent for Us to use Your Personal Information, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of Your Personal Information, at any time, by contacting us at contact@l4o.in email.

Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the Platform. If We make material changes to this Privacy Policy, We will notify You here. Your use of the Platform following any such modification shall constitute Your deemed acceptance of this Privacy Policy (as it may be modified).

If We are acquired or merged with another Person and/ or undergo change of control or reconstruction or reorganization, Your Information Collected may be transferred to the new owners so that Your access to the Platform may continue.

Questions and Contact Information

You have a legal right to a copy of Your Personal Information held by Us and to correct any errors in such Personal Information. You also have a right to request that We cease to use Your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes. We, however, reserve the right to contact You, from time to time, in relation to the management and administration of Your Registered Account with Us or in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
