Information Use

PROFILE

We store information that we collect through log files, and via the information provided during the BIGINDIA.COM Submit service, to create a profile of our users. A profile is stored information that we keep on individual users that details their characteristics.

IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.

SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS

On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send users an email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications - these communications are not promotional in nature.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account we reply via email or phone, in accordance with the user's wishes.
