Kamalan does, however, use "cookies," "client variables" and "session variables" to collect information about how the Site and server are used and to recognize you as a Kamalan online service user when you re-enter our Site. Information, such as the server your computer is logged onto, your browser type, and whether you entered the Site via a Website or E-mail hyperlink, is collected and tracked in aggregate.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personal Information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may provide Personal Information to a third party as required to process your request or order or otherwise service your account, and for no other reasons. For instance, we may share your shipping information with our payment gateway for completing the transaction. We may also release your Personal Information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale, we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party, per legal norms.

When you elect to do this, you will be required to enter your E-mail address and name, the recipient's E-mail address and name, a subject line, and a text message that will go to the receiver.

You should be aware that other Internet sites to which you link to from this Site or from our E-mail correspondence may contain privacy provisions that differ from the provisions of our Privacy Statement. Kamalan is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of other such sites. We encourage Site users to be aware when they leave the Site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Website that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Statement applies solely to information collected by this Site. Also, this online privacy policy applies only to information collected through our website and not to information collected offline.
Kamalan uses Secure Socket Layers (SSL), the industry standard in transferring information to process your orders. The SSL encrypts, or translates, your order information into a highly indecipherable code, which is processed immediately. When you begin the transaction process, you will move into the secure area of our Site. A warning window may pop up to notify you that you are entering this "safe" area. Once you've entered, the page address (URL) will change from http to https, to let you know you are in a secure area. You will remain in this secure zone for the entire transaction process.
No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our Site, and therefore, you use our Site at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we use our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. We also cannot be responsible for criminal acts of third parties, such as "hackers", who may seek to compromise our security measures through unlawful means. Industry-accepted security measures have been integrated into the design, implementation, and day-to-day operation of the Site.
You can change your browser settings to disable cookies if you have privacy concerns. However, disabling cookies for all sites is not advisable as it may interfere with your use of some sites, including our Site. The best option is to disable or enable cookies on a per-site basis.

All disputes, if any, arising out of or in connection with, or as a result of this Privacy Policy or otherwise relating hereto, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts/tribunals in New Delhi only.
