3. How We Share Information

 Affiliated Business Partners

• We do not control Affiliated Businesses and Third-Party Websites.
• In certain situations, businesses or third-party websites we are affiliated with may sell items or provide services to you through a website (either alone or jointly with us).
• You can recognize when an affiliated business is associated with such a transaction or service, and we will share your Personal Information with that affiliated business only to the extent that it is related to such transaction or service.
• We have no control over the policies and practices of third-party websites as to privacy or anything else. So if you choose to enter into such transaction or to receive such service, please review the applicable third-party websites’ policies.

Service Providers

• ParentCircle may share Personal Information we collect with our employees, contractors and third-party service providers that need to know that information in order to process it on ParentCircle’s behalf, or to provide services that help us with our business activities, which may include assisting us with marketing, advertising our product/service offerings, or providing, maintaining and improving the features and functionality of the Service, among other things.
• Some of those employees, contractors and third-party service providers may be located outside of your home country.
• In all cases where we share your information with such service providers, we explicitly require the service provider to acknowledge and adhere to our privacy and customer data handling policies.
• Except as otherwise discussed in this Privacy Policy, ParentCircle will not sell Personal Information to anyone, and will not disclose Personal Information to any third parties for such third parties’ marketing purposes, unless we first receive your consent.
• However, we may share aggregate and non-personally identifying information with third parties for marketing, advertising, research or other purposes.

Advertising Partners

• We may partner with third-party advertising networks and exchanges to display advertising on our Websites or to manage and serve our advertising on other sites, and may share Personal Information with them for this purpose.
• We and our third-party partners may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as pixels and web beacons, to gather information about your activities on our Websites and other sites in order to provide you with targeted advertising based on your browsing activities and interests.
• Any other person with your consent except as set forth above. You will be notified when your personal information may be shared with third parties, and will be able to prevent the sharing of this information.

4. Compelled Disclosure

We may share Personal Information with any competent law enforcement body, regulatory body, government agency, court or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary:

• as a matter of applicable law or regulation,
• to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights, or
• to protect your vital interests or those of any other person.

To a Potential Buyer (and Its Agents and Advisors)

• If we engage in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of some or all of ParentCircle’s assets, financing, acquisition of all or a portion of our business, a similar transaction, or steps in contemplation of such activities, your Customer Data and Consumer Data may be among the assets transferred.
• You acknowledge and consent that such transfers may occur and are permitted by this Privacy Policy. In that event, any acquirer will be subject to our obligations under this Privacy Policy, including your rights to access and choice. We will notify you of the change either by sending you an email or posting a notice on our Site.

Payment Processing

• ParentCircle never receives or stores your full credit card information. Razorpay commits to complying with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) and using industry-standard security. Razorpay may use your Payment Information in accordance with their own Privacy Policy as shown here https://razorpay.com/agreement/.

5. How We Protect Our Information

Security

• ParentCircle accounts require a username and password to log in. Customers must keep their username and password secure, and never disclose it to a third party.
• Because the information in a Customer’s ParentCircle account is so sensitive, account passwords are hashed, which means we cannot see a Customer’s password. We cannot resend forgotten passwords either. We will only provide Customers with instructions on how to reset them.
• We implement security measures to protect Customer Data and Consumer Data provided to us from loss, misuse and unauthorized access or disclosure. These steps take into account the sensitivity of the information we collect, process and store, and the current state of technology.
• However, these measures do not guarantee that your Customer Data and Consumer Data will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software. Please be aware that despite our best efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security all of the time.
• By visiting our Site and using our Services, you agree to indemnify, defend (if we so request) and hold harmless ParentCircle and its affiliates, suppliers, partners and agents from and against any claim, demand, losses, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from your content, your use of the Sites or Services, your connection to the Sites, your violation of these Terms or your violation of any rights of any third party.
• Your indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms and your use of the Sites and Services.

6. How We Store and Secure Your Information

• ParentCircle will take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent any loss, misuse, misrepresentation or alteration of your Personal Information. Information that ParentCircle collects may be stored and processed in and/or transferred between any of the countries in which ParentCircle, its affiliates or service providers operate to enable the use of the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
• Please note that any information that you submit for publication on the website may be published on the Internet and be available around the world.
• Cookies and HTML5 local storage are ways to keep information about your use of Internet services on your own mobile device or computer. We use cookies and HTML5 local storage to help us create your session, know when you are logged in and help us remember certain information about how you interact with ParentCircle.
• If you would rather not use cookies or HTML5 local storage, most browsers give you the option to turn them off, or require your approval before using them to keep information. If you choose not to keep information in cookies or HTML5 local storage, though, portions of ParentCircle may not work as intended.
• ParentCircle also uses web beacons in advertisements to allow ParentCircle and its advertising partners to see how users view and engage with advertisements. Depending on your advertising preferences set in your operating system, ParentCircle may share your Advertising ID with advertising partners in an anonymous fashion that is not tied to your name or email address.
• Some publishers or other third-party services that we partner with may use cookies, web beacons or other technologies to keep track of your Internet activity. Please note that this Privacy Policy explains ParentCircle’s policies only, and does not cover the practices of other services.

7. Deleting Your Account
