This Privacy Policy describes the information collected by Sudimna Enterprise Solutions, LLC. d/b/a jhalak.com, (“Jhalak”, “us”, “we”), how that information may be used, with whom it may be shared, and your choices about such uses and disclosures. By using the website http://jhalak.com (the “Site”) and the services, features, content, applications or widgets, as well as mobile device applications offered by Jhalak (collectively with the Site, the “Services”), you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

The Information Jhalak May Collect
1. Information You Provide
Jhalak may collect and store any personal information you enter through the Services or the Site. This may include personally identifying information, such as your name, username, residence, e-mail address, birthdate, pictures, and/or credit card information. Jhalak may also request information about your interests and activities, and location. No system can be completely secure. Therefore, Jhalak does not promise, and you should not expect, that such information may not be inadvertently collected and that such personal information will remain secure.
You also may give us permission to access your information on other services. If you connect to the Services using your Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram or other third-party service credentials (each, a “Supported Platform”), you authorize us to collect your authentication information, such as your username, encrypted access credentials, and other information that may be available on or through your Supported Platform account, including but not limited to your name, pictures, and friends/followers lists. The information we get from Supported Platforms may depend on your settings or their privacy policies.
Jhalak does not store any user financial information, even though we may request information about you and your credit card and/or bank account. Jhalak does not store certain financial data due to its use of third party agents, such as PayPal, as its financial transaction facilitator. Please refer to such third parties' Terms (https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full) and Privacy Policies (https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full) for more information about how these parties use your information. We do not store any user financial information, even though we may request information about yourself and your credit card and/or bank account. That financial information is handled, processed, and stored by the third party financial transaction processing companies. To the extent that Jhalak uses third party providers such as PayPal for financial transaction services, we believe that such third parties take the privacy of your personal information seriously and will use your information only in accordance with the terms of their privacy policies.
2. Information Collected Automatically
Like many sites on the Internet, the Site automatically collects information from your browser when you visit the Site. This information includes your IP address, your browser type and language, access times, the content of any undeleted cookies that your browser previously accepted from Jhalak (see "Cookies" below), and the referring website address. If you use Jhalak's mobile application, Jhalak may collect various non-identifying information, such as your mobile device type, device properties, IP address, profile views, ad views, ad clicks, search queries, store and product views, photo views, and page views. We may also combine all of this non-identifying information with other non-identifying information to infer interests or demographic characteristics. In order for Jhalak to work with your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, BlackBerry, or other mobile device, Jhalak must collect your Device Identification Code or "DIC". The DIC is a special type of identifier used in software applications in order to provide a unique reference number for applications like those used by your mobile device. Your DIC is not shared with other users.

Jhalak may use this data to better understand how you interact with the Site, to monitor aggregate usage by our users and web traffic routing on the Site, and to improve the Site and our Services.

4. Information Collected by Third Parties
Jhalak may allow third parties, advertising companies, and ad networks to display advertisements on the Site and via the Services. These companies may use tracking technologies, such as cookies, to collect information about users who view or interact with their advertisements. Jhalak does not provide any personal information to these third parties.
If you connect your Jhalak account to a Supported Platform, the default setting is generally that Jhalak automatically allows users to share users’ activity and activity-related stories with that Services. You understand that such information may be attributed to your account on Supported Platforms and may be published on such Services either directly by you or by other users.

These persons engage in a variety of functions which include, but are not limited to, fulfilling orders, removing repetitive information from user lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments and providing user services.
Any supplied billing information (if collected by and through the Site, as opposed to being directly inputted and collected by and through third parties such as PayPal) shall be encrypted for transmittal to a third-party intermediary for processing. Such billing information is used only to bill you for those purchases you choose to make through the Site.
