Edumaq respects and values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect your Personal Data (defined below) on those web sites of Edumaq that post or link directly to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Site”) and through offline means, how we use, disclose, and protect such data, and the choices you have concerning our use of such data. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. Edumaq may from time to time update this Privacy Policy. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective when we post or link to the revised Privacy Policy on the Site. Any significant changes to the way we collect or use Personal Data will be highlighted on the homepage of the Site in advance. Please review the “Last Updated” legend at the top of this page to determine when this Privacy Policy was most recently revised.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Edumaq”, "we", "us", and "our" means Edumaq and its affiliates listed at www.Edumaq.in/privacy.
In some circumstances, you may have the option to decline to provide us with any Personal Data to visit the Site. However, if you choose to withhold requested information, you may not be able to visit all sections or use all features of the Site.
This Privacy Policy shall also apply to any Edumaq mobile application and other forms of Edumaq online activity that reference this Privacy Policy. In such instances, the term “Site” shall include the applicable mobile application or other Edumaq online activity whenever that term is used herein.
Collection of Personal Data
Personal data is information that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you, e.g., your name, email address, address, or phone number ("Personal Data"). We may need to collect and process Personal Data in order to provide requested information, products or services to you (including the Site) or because we are legally required to do so.
Edumaq requests Personal Data from you if the Site requires registration. The registration process requests that you provide Personal Data, such as your name, business email address, business address or country/jurisdiction location, business phone number, and company affiliation, and agree to the User Agreement presented at the time of registration.
Edumaq may receive Personal Data from social media platforms. For example, if you elect to use your social media credentials to log-in to your Site account, certain Personal Data from your social media account will be shared with us, which may include Personal Data that is part of your social media profile.
Edumaq may collect Personal Data voluntarily provided by you, including in emails, online forms, order and registration forms, surveys, promotion participation, online chats, phone calls, and through other means
On some of Edumaq Sites, including www.Edumaq.in, you are able to maintain "portfolios," where, if you are a registered user, you have the option to list financial instruments in which you have a special interest. To be useful, this information must be stored on the Site, and is accessible to anyone with whom you share your username and password. For this reason, please safeguard your username and password carefully and do not disclose them to any other person.
We may use third-party payment services (each, a "Payment Service") to collect payments made through the Site. If you wish to make a payment through the Site, you may be directed to a webpage that is hosted by a Payment Service (or a Payment Service's service providers) and not by Edumaq. Any Personal Data that you provide through a Payment Service page will be collected by the Payment Service and not by Edumaq, and will be subject to Payment Service's privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy. Edumaq has no control over, and is not responsible for, a Payment Service's use of information collected through a Payment Service page.

We will engage in these activities to manage our contractual relationship with you and to fulfil our contractual obligations.
Submission on Edumaq Analytics Pulse. We store and may publicly display your submissions in order to provide the services that we offer. When we display your submissions, we do so together with the user identification code (the “User ID”) you have established. If we display your submission, we may also contact you at the request of other users who wish to discuss your submission with you. We will not reveal your contact information to other users. The term “submissions” refers to the information that you submit or post to the Edumaq Analytics Pulse site for public display, such as business ratings and reviews. There may be exceptions where your name and email address domain is shared with other members of the Edumaq Analytics Pulse site when you elect to participate in discussions with other members. For example, within the Circles offering, if you create or reply to a discussion thread, your first and last name will be displayed along with your submission to the members of your Circle. Another example is, if you apply to join a Circle, your name and email address domain will be displayed to the manager of that Circle so that the manager can evaluate your application to join the Circle.
