This site is owned and operated by NEXT Link
Pvt Ltd. Your privacy on the Internet is of
the utmost importance to us. At NEXT, we want
to make your experience online satisfying and
safe.
Because we gather certain types of information
about our users, we feel you should fully understand
our policy and the terms and conditions surrounding
the capture and use of that information. This
privacy statement discloses what information
we gather and how we use it.

"Information that users provide through
optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary
submissions to receive our electronic newsletters,
to participate in our message boards or forums,
to email a friend.

Optional Voluntary
Information
We offer free services, which require some type
of voluntary submission of personal information
by users
Privacy Policy
Sample
1. "E-mail this
to a friend" policy
Our site users can choose to electronically
forward a link, page, or documents to someone
else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend".
The user must provide their email address, as
well as that of the recipient. This information
is used only in the case of transmission errors
and, of course, to let the recipient know who
sent the email. The information is not used
for any other purpose.
2. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they
can easily share their opinions with other users
and see what our audience thinks about important
issues. Opinions or other responses to polls
are aggregated and are not identifiable to any
particular user. NEXT may use a system to "tag"
users after they have voted, so they can vote
only once on a particular question. This tag
is not correlated with information about individual
users.
3. Surveys
NEXT may occasionally conduct user surveys to
better target our content to our audience. We
sometimes share the aggregated demographic information
in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers
and partners. We never share any of this information
about specific individuals with any third party.

Usage tracking
NEXT tracks user traffic patterns throughout
all of our sites. However, we do not correlate
this information with data about individual
users. NEXT does break down overall usage statistics
according to a user's domain name, browser type,
and MIME type by reading this information from
the browser string (information contained in
every user's browser).
NEXT sometimes tracks and catalogs the search
terms that users enter in our Search function,
but this tracking is never associated with individual
users. We use tracking information to determine
which areas of our sites users like and don't
like based on traffic to those areas. We do
not track what individual users read, but rather
how well each page performs overall. This helps
us continue to build a better service for you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie"
in the browser files of your computer. The cookie
itself does not contain Personal Information
although it will enable us to relate your use
of this site to information that you have specifically
and knowingly provided. But the only personal
information a cookie can contain is information
you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data
off your hard disk or read cookie files created
by other sites. NEXT uses cookies to track user
traffic patterns (as described above).
You can refuse cookies by turning them off
in your browser. If you've set your browser
to warn you before accepting cookies, you will
receive the warning message with each cookie.
You do not need to have cookies turned on to
use this site. However, you do need cookies
to participate actively in surveys.

Use
How the information you gather is used if relevant.
USE OF INFORMATION
NEXT uses any information voluntarily given
by our users to enhance their experience in
our network of sites, whether to provide interactive
or personalized elements on the sites or to
better prepare future content based on the interests
of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users
voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic
newsletters and to enable users to participate
in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums.
We send out newsletters to subscribers on a
regular schedule (depending on the newsletter),
and occasionally send out special editions when
we think subscribers might be particularly interested
in something we are doing.
NEXT never shares newsletter mailing lists
with any third parties, including advertisers,
sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine
which areas of our sites, users like and don't
like based on traffic to those areas, we do
not track what individual users read, but rather
how well each page performs overall. This helps
us continue to build a better service for you.
We track search terms entered in Search function
as one of many measures of what interests our
users. But we don't track which terms a particular
user enters.
We will not disclose any information about
any individual user except to comply with applicable
law or valid legal process or to protect the
personal safety of our users or the public.
SHARING OF
THE INFORMATION
NEXT uses the above-described information
to tailor our content to suit your needs. This
is essential to keeping our service free. We
will not share information about individual
users with any third party, except to comply
with applicable law or valid legal process or
to protect the personal safety of our users
or the public.
SECURITY
NEXT operates secure data networks protected
by industry standard firewall and password protection
systems. Our security and privacy policies are
periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary
and only authorized individuals have access
to the information provided by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and
practical. Such choices include:
1. Opting not to register to receive our electronic
newsletters.
2. Opting not to participate in certain interactive
areas, which completely alleviates the need
to gather any personally identifiable information
from our users

it.
