https://www.frendzit.com/

PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND THE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY OR OUR TERMS OF USE, DO NOT USE OR VISIT THE WEBSITE OR APP. BY USING OR VISITING THE WEBSITE OR APP, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND OUR TERMS OF USE.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or our information-handling practices, please contact us at legal@frendzit.com

www.Frendzit.com is committed to safeguarding its users’ privacy. We request all our users to read the following ‘privacy policy’ to understand how their personal & business information will be treated, as they make full use of our services to their benefit. This policy is applicable only to the entire network of marketplaces operated by www.frendzit.com and not by any other company.

www.frendzit.com collects information from its users when they register to gain access to our services or at other specific instances when they are requested to provide us with their personal & business information. During registration, we ask the users for their name, email address, business information and other personal details.

When you are on our network and are asked for personal information, you are sharing the information with www.frendzit.com alone, unless it is specifically stated otherwise.

We also gather usage statistics such as pages viewed, number of unique visitors, browser software, screen resolution etc. for analysis that helps us provide you improved user experience and services.

www.frendzit.com’s primary goal in collecting personal or public information is to provide the user with a customized experience on our network of sites. This includes personalization services, interactive communications and many other types of services.

As a general rule, www.frendzit.com will not disclose or share any of the user’s personally identifiable information except when www.frendzit.com has the user’s permission or under special circumstances, such as when www.frendzit.com believes in good faith that the law requires it or as permitted in terms of this policy.

www.frendzit.com may also disclose account information in special cases when www.frendzit.com has reasons to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring leg al action against someone who may be violating www.frendzit.com’s Terms of Services or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) other Swift SMS network website users, or if www.frendzit.com deems it necessary to maintain, service, and improve its products and services.

www.frendzit.com may, from time to time, send its users emails regarding its products and services. In addition, www.frendzit.com may occasionally send direct mails about products and services of third parties that it feels may be of interest to the user. Only www.frendzit.com or its agents working under confidentiality agreements will send these direct mailings. A user may edit his/her account information and profile by logging onto our website and/or by sending a request to support@frendzit.com.in The requested changes may take up to 10 working days to appear online because of verification process and server cache policies.

A user account can be deleted or deactivated, but doing so will result in the user not being able to access any members-only area of the network. Residual information will remain within our archive records.

As with all information, www.frendzit.com will never sell any user’s personal or business information. We request our users to sign out of their www.frendzit.com account and close their browser window when they have finished their work. This is to ensure that others cannot access their personal or business information and correspondence, if the user shares the computer with someone else or is using a computer in a public place. www.frendzit.com takes necessary steps, within its limits of commercial viability and necessity, to ensure that the user’s information is treated securely.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while www.frendzit.com strives to protect the user’s personal & business information, it cannot ensure the security of any information transmitted to www.frendzit.com and you do so at your own risk. Once www.frendzit.com receives your transmission, it makes best efforts to ensure its security in its systems. Please keep in mind that whenever you post personal & business information online, that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties.
