The data controller collecting the data described herein is the Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt. Ltd. in the visitor’s country or otherwise the Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt.

Ltd. firms, which are member firms of the Apropos Group organisation, where it is necessary to meet the purpose for which the visitor has submitted the information. By submitting data on Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt. Ltd.'s website, the visitor is providing explicit consent to trans-border transmission of data collected on the website for the fulfilment of their voluntary requests.

Data collection

We collect only personally identifiable information that is specifically and voluntarily provided by visitors to Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt. Ltd.'s website. Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt. Ltd. receives limited identifiable information, such as name and email address, from website visitors. Typically, identifying information is collected to:

• Register for certain areas of the site
• Inquire for further information
• Distribute requested reference materials
• Submit resumes

Demographic information, including gender and occupation, is not actively sought, but may be submitted when a visitor responds to an online job application. It is Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt. Ltd.'s policy to limit the information collected to only the minimum information required to complete a visitor's request. In any instance where non-mandatory information is sought, the website visitor will be notified of this at the point of collection.

Visitors are also able to send email through the site. Their messages will contain the user's screen name and email address, as well as any additional information the user may wish to include in the message. Because we use the website as a recruiting tool, a visit to the website may also result in the user sending a resume to an individual within Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt. Ltd.

Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt. Ltd.'s intention is not to seek any sensitive information through our website unless legally required for recruiting purposes. Sensitive information includes a number of types of data relating to: race or ethnic origin; political opinions; religious or other similar beliefs; trade union membership; physical or mental health; sexual life or criminal record. We suggest that you do not provide sensitive information of this nature. If you do wish to provide sensitive information for any reason, Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt. Ltd. accepts your explicit consent to use that information in the ways described in this privacy statement or as described at the point where you choose to disclose this information.

Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt. Ltd.'s policy is to disclose information to third parties upon visitors submitting their requests (e.g., when ordering a publication, we display the party fulfilling the order).

Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt. Ltd. websites do not collect or compile personally identifying information for dissemination or sale to outside parties for consumer marketing purposes, or host mailings on behalf of third parties.

Third party links

We encourage visitors to review each site's privacy policy before disclosing any personally identifiable information.

Data retention

Some of the information we receive is not retained. For example, we usually do not keep mailing addresses for white papers. Contact information about visitors (such as information generated though registration for access to areas on the site) will be kept as long as the information is required to completely service the contact request or until a user requests that we delete that information. Mailing list information, discussion posts and email are kept for only the period of time considered reasonable to facilitate the visitor's requests. Resumes are disposed of when they are either no longer under consideration, or are considered outdated by our Human Resources departments.

Choices

As a policy, visitors are not required to register to gain access to areas of the Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt. Ltd.’s website. In certain cases in the future, as your Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt. Ltd. website experience expands, we may require visitors to register in order to obtain a user-id and password for authentication and secure access to a transaction or certain business confidential or proprietary information services on premium website.

Personally identifiable information provided to Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt. Ltd. through its website is provided voluntarily by visitors. Should visitors subsequently choose to unsubscribe from mailing lists or any registrations, we will provide instructions on the appropriate website area or in communications to our visitors; or a visitor may contact the webmaster of the appropriate site e.g., support@aproposgroup.in.

Ltd. is committed to providing reasonable and practical access to visitors to allow them the opportunity to identify and correct any inaccuracies. When requested and practical, Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt. Ltd. will delete identifying information from current operational systems.

When personally identifiable information is retained, Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt. Ltd. assumes responsibility for keeping an accurate record of the information once a visitor has submitted and verified the data. Apropos Consultant & Service Pvt.
