The web site is supported by a third party web servers hosting provider. Some servers or sites
hosted by different service provider may adopt different privacy notices that go beyond the parameters
set forth in this document, as their specific needs require. However, those servers or sites cannot
adopt a privacy notice that in any way supercedes Indian laws or regulations, Ramakrishna Mission
Vidyamandira Alumni Association norms and/or this Privacy Policy. Any discrepancy between the
information presented here and the official Bylaws and Regulations of the Ramakrishna Mission
Vidyamandira Alumni Association and the policies and procedures of Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira

policies or procedures. Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira Alumni Association reserves the right to

Definitions
The Alumni web site is defined as publicly accessible pages hosted under the domain
"www.alumnividyamandira.in," any web address ending ".alumnividyamandira.in" or any website, within the
alumnividyamandira.in IP address range, that is maintained by Alumni Association, acting within their
respective scopes of employment.
Collection and Sharing of Supplied Personal User Information and Data
Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira Alumni Association uses the web for social purposes
and is committed to fostering and protecting the privacy of personal information. The Alumni web site will
not collect personally identifiable information (personal data) about visitors, such as name, address,
telephone number, or email address unless the information was provided voluntarily. Visitors should not
voluntarily provide personal data if they do not want it to be collected. When collected, personal data
may be used in the following ways:
- Fulfill an order or request;
- Assist with better understanding the needs of visitors, thereby allowing Alumni to improve services;
- Reply to, or contact users.
Association will not sell, rent, or market personal data to third parties.
In some cases, information that is not personally identifiable may be automatically
collected and/or logged. For example, information about the visitor's browser, operating system, IP address,
and the domain name of sites that are linked to the Alumni web site allows Association to accommodate the
needs of the majority of visitors. It also assists with troubleshooting and diagnoses if there are problems
with servers, and the information helps produce important statistics on how often pages are visited. Finally,
this information can be used in the detection of security breaches and the safeguarding of computing
resources.
Use of the Association web is subject to all applicable state and Indian law, as well as
all relevant Association policies. It is the Association's usual practice not to share any personal information
with those outside of the Association. However, when circumstances arise for the need to share information
gathered from its computing resources within the alumnividyamandira.in IP Address space, the Association
may share as:
- Authorized and/or mandated by law,
- Permitted under Association policies,
- Authorized by an approved Association contract,
- Clearly stated at a Association web site that such information will be shared and
the user actively indicated informed consent by providing the information, or
- When consent is otherwise given.
Information Technology Services has taken several steps to safeguard the integrity of
its communications and computing infrastructure, including but not limited to authentication, monitoring,
auditing and encryption. Security measures have been integrated into the design, implementation and
day-to-day practices of the entire Association environment as part of its continuing commitment to
risk management. However, such activities should not be construed as any warranty against the unauthorized
breach/failure of these security measures.
