What information
does Bardhaman.com collects/tracks about me?
This section of Bardhaman.com is an online matrimonial service
designed to provide an easy way for our members to meet each other
on the Web. To accomplish this, our members create their own unique
profiles and our matching technology provides them matches based on
their pre-selected criteria. In order to do this, we must ask for
certain personal information. None of the information we gather can
be used by the public (visitors, other members, or anyone not
employed by Bardhaman.com or the financial institutions used to
process membership charges) to identify specific individuals.
We are a membership-based service. We collect credit card, address,
or bank information only from those who choose to join. All visitors
to our site may browse the site, search the ads and view any
articles or features our site has to offer without entering any
personal information.
Information Collected/Tracked by Bardhaman.com
Bardhaman.com gathers two types of information: information users
submit to us and information not directly submitted by users.
Information submitted to Bardhaman.com
There are two types of user-submitted information we collect: Public
and Private. We define Public information as personal information
that may be displayed on the site, such as gender, age and height,
but cannot be linked to a particular user. Private information is
defined as any information that allows others to contact a user
other than through Bardhaman.com or allows the collection of
information about the user other than what is displayed on the site.
PUBLIC: To accomplish our goal of bringing compatible people
together, we must gather personal information, which may or may not
include: customer-specified Bardhaman.com username, gender, age,
religion, income range, occupation, preference/lifestyle information
and general geographic location.
PRIVATE: This information is gathered from members and guests
who apply for the various services our site offers. This information
includes, but is not limited to: email address, first name, last
name, credit card number or checking account information for
payment, a user-specified password, mailing address, zip code and
telephone number.
CONTESTS & SURVEYS: From time-to-time our site requests
information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in
these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user
therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information.
Information requested may include contact information (such as name
and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip
code, and age).

program is a vehicle for other relationship-based sites to link to

Security of personal
information.
Bardhaman.com takes every precaution to protect our users'
information. When users submit sensitive information via the

encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the
industry - SSL.]
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online,
we also do everything in our power to protect user information
off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for
example a billing clerk or a customer service representative) are
granted access to personally identifiable information.
