What data do we gather?

Kolkata Art Page collects data in two ways, which are described below.

Automatic Data Sharing

Information Exchanged with User Consent

1. Data Shared Automatically

Aside from the Kolkata Art Page, certain third-party advertisers and/or service providers may use technologies when you visit or interact with the Platform that automatically collects information about you for transactional (like confirmation of registration, purchase notification, etc.) and promotional (like newsletters, promotions, etc.) purposes. The following are some ways that Kolkata Art Page or similar third-party advertisers and/or service providers might gather your information:

1. Log Files: Whenever you access the Platform, Kolkata Art Page servers automatically gather and record data from your browser and the device you used to access it (including your IP address, device ID, the type and operator of your network, your operating system, the type and version of your browser, CPU speed, and connection speed). This helps us to verify your identity as a User, comprehend how you use the Platform, and make updates and modifications that are most relevant to your requirements.
2. In order to improve your experience with the Platform by tailoring it to your preferences and usage trends, cookies are data files that are placed on your device and are used to track information about your interactions with social media websites, the content you click on, download, upload, or share, and other activities on the Platform.
3. Web beacons are transparent graphic pictures that we employ in our email correspondence with you to track user behaviour and enhance the Platform's general usability, quality, and engagement.
4. Payment/Purchase Information: You might need to register for or sign into a separate account on a payment gateway or website like "PayU" or "PayTM" in order to use certain of the Platform's premium features and services. Once such an account is created, the payment gateway provider may ask for and gather your personal information, including your name, address, phone number, email address, credit or debit card information, net banking information, and details of any web wallets you may have. This is necessary in order to process your payments and purchases on the Platform. All authorised payment gateway providers will save any and all payments received, processed, or information supplied with them directly; the Kolkata Art Page will not get any information from these providers. Regarding such payments and/or information given to or shared with such approved payment gateway providers, Kolkata Art Page makes no guarantees. It is further made clear that the information described above will only be used in compliance with this Privacy Policy and the rules of the relevant legislation.
5. Public Forums: Any information you provide in the comments area or through the "create a post" option becomes public knowledge, and Kolkata Art Page is not responsible for the security of that content or any personally identifiable information you share there. In this context, you undertake to use caution while revealing any personal or personally identifying information.
   1. Please be aware that we only use the information mentioned above for system administration, auditing of Service usage, and communication with users in order to enhance the Service and better understand their operating systems. We don't use any of the aforementioned information to determine a person's name, address, or other private information.
   2. Passwords, financial data, including credit or debit card numbers and other payment instrument details, and any other legally-mandated sensitive information that Kolkata Art Page may collect from you while you use the Platform and its services are collectively referred to as "sensitive personal data or information" for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
