This Privacy Policy does not cover the practices of third parties we do not own or control, including any third-party site linked from our Website. A link to a third-party site does not imply our endorsement of it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any revised version on this page with an updated effective date, and continued use of the Website constitutes acceptance of those changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

When you visit the Website, certain information is collected automatically, including your IP address, device type and identifier, browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, referring pages, pages visited, time of visit, and general usage patterns.

We use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, deliver content, remember preferences, analyze user behavior, and serve advertising. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings; however, some parts of the Website may not function properly if cookies are disabled. See Section 4 (Advertising and Analytics) for details on third-party cookies.

We use technical and usage information to analyze Website performance, diagnose server problems, understand traffic and engagement trends, administer the Website, and improve our content and services.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We share information only in the following limited circumstances:

3.1 Service Providers

We share information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate the Website (for example, hosting, content delivery, email/newsletter delivery, analytics, and security). These providers receive only the information necessary to perform their tasks and are obligated to keep it confidential.

We share certain non-personal and technical information with advertising partners (such as Google) to display relevant ads. See Section 4 below.

3.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose information where required by law, court order, subpoena, or other legal process, or where we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights, prevent fraud, or protect the safety of users or the public.

3.4 Business Transfers

If RW or its assets are acquired, merged, or transferred, user information may be among the transferred assets. Any acquirer will remain bound by the commitments in this Privacy Policy or will notify you of any material change.

3.5 Aggregated / Anonymized Data

We may use and share aggregated or anonymized data (which does not identify you) for any lawful business purpose, such as analyzing usage trends and working with advertisers and partners.

4. Advertising and Analytics

4.1 Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

We use Google AdSense and other third-party advertising vendors to serve ads on the Website. These vendors, including Google, use cookies (such as the DoubleClick / Google advertising cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Website and/or other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com).
You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies via www.aboutads.info/choices or optout.networkadvertising.org.

Third-party ad vendors may collect non-personal data such as browser type, operating system, pages visited, time of visit, content viewed, ads viewed, and other clickstream data. Their use of this data is governed by their own privacy policies, not ours.

4.2 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Website. Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to collect usage data, which Google processes on our behalf. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). See Google’s Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

4.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. We currently do not respond to DNT signals because no common industry standard exists. You can still control cookies through your browser settings and the opt-out links above.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we believe the security of your information may have been compromised, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.

6. Third-Party Links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, services, or content not under our control. We are not responsible for their privacy practices or content. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site before providing personal information.

7. Children’s Privacy

The Website is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. In line with applicable Indian law, where required we obtain verifiable parental or guardian consent before processing the personal data of a child (a person under 18). If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us personal information without consent, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
