USE OF THIRD-PARTY ANALYTICS
We may use third-party web analytics services on our Services, such as those of Google Analytics. These service
providers use the sort of technology previously described in the “Cookies and other electronic technologies” section
to help us analyze how users use the Services, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive,
and provide certain features to you. The information (including your IP address) collected by the technology will be
disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the
Services. This information may be used to place interest-based advertisements on the Platform. This may result in
you seeing WDO’s advertisement when you visit other websites. To prevent Google Analytics from using your
information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here.
COOKIES AND OTHER ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGIES
When you interact with the Services, we try to make that experience simple and meaningful. When you visit our
Platform, our web server sends a cookie to your computer or mobile device. Cookies are small pieces of information
that are issued to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or access or use a mobile application,
and that stores and sometimes tracks information about your use of the platform. A number of cookies we use last
only for the duration of your web or application session and expire when you close your browser or exit the
application. Other cookies are used to remember you when you return to the Platform and will last longer.
Some of the cookies used by the Platform are set by us, and some are set by third parties who are delivering
services on our behalf.
We may use cookies, and similar technologies to cookies, to collect information about your access and use of the
Platform. For example, we may use cookies or other technologies that: (1) allow you to navigate and use all the
features provided by our Platform; (2) customize elements of the layout and/or content within the Platform and
remember that you have visited us before; (3) identify the number of unique visitors we receive; (4) allow us to
provide you with a customized experience; and (5) inform us how you use the Platform (including how long you spend
on the Platform) and where you have come to the Platform from, so that we can improve the Platform and learn which
functions of the Platform are most popular with users. As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather
additional information through other methods.
Most web and mobile device browsers automatically accept cookies but, if you prefer, you can change your browser to
prevent that or to notify you each time a cookie is set. You can also learn more about cookies by visiting
www.wdo.org.in, which includes additional useful information on cookies and how to block cookies using different
types of browsers or mobile devices.
You may also consult the "Help" section of your browser for more information (e.g., Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Apple Safari). You can also manage the use of Flash technologies, including cookies and
local storage objects with the Flash management tools available at Adobe's website. Please note that by blocking any
or all cookies, you may not have access to certain features or offerings of the Services.
If you are accessing our Services through a mobile device, you can also update your privacy settings on your device
by setting the “Limit Ad Tracking” and Diagnostics and Usage setting property located in the settings screen of your
Apple IPhone or Ipad, or by resetting your Android ID through apps that are available in the Play Store. You can
also limit information collection by uninstalling the App on your device and you can use the standard uninstall
process available as part of your device for this purpose.
ADVERTISING POLICIES
We may use third-party advertising technologies that allow for the delivery of relevant content and advertising on
our Platform, as well as on other websites you visit. The ads may be based on various factors such as the content of
the page you are visiting, information you enter such as your age and gender, your searches, demographic data,
user-generated content, and other information we collect from you. These ads may be based on your current activity
or your activity over time and across other websites and online services and may be tailored to your interests.
Also, third parties whose products or services are accessible or advertised on our Platform may place cookies or
other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about your use of
the website as discussed above. We also allow other third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google
Analytics, Ad Words and others) to serve tailored ads to you on our website, other sites, and in other applications,
and to access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you
use to access the website. We may provide our customer information (such as a hashed version of your email
addresses) to service providers, who may “match” this information in de-identified form to cookies (or mobile ad
identifiers) and other proprietary IDs, in order to target or “retarget” you with ads when you visit other websites
and mobile applications. (You may opt out of these many of these service providers as described in the next
paragraph.)
We neither have access to, nor does this Privacy Policy govern the use of cookies or other tracking technologies
that may be placed on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access our website by non-affiliated,
third-party ad technology, ad servers, ad networks or any other non-affiliated third parties. Those parties that use
these technologies may offer you a way to opt out of ad targeting as described below.
If you receive tailored advertising on your computer through a web browser, you can learn more about such tailored
browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored
advertising, by visiting the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance Consumer Ad Choices link for EU based
advertising or for US based advertising either: (i) the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link or
(ii) the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from
companies that participate in those programs. To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize
Google display network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page.
Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into our website or other websites that you
visit, you may still receive advertisements even if you opt-out. In that case, the advertising will not be tailored
to your interests. Also, we do not control any of the above opt-out links or whether any particular Organization
chooses to participate in these opt-out programs. We are not responsible for any choices you make using these
mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
You have the right to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to
receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or
inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide
to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is
no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal
data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have
processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.
Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons
which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party)
and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground
as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedom. You also have the right to object where we are
processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have
compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedom.
Request Restriction of Processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of
your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our
use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no
longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use
of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you
have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only
applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information
to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not
affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent,
we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the
time you withdraw your consent.
