Cookie Technology: Vikrant Group will collect information about the use of its Website, either directly or through third party tracking providers. This may include information collected using cookies (small text files placed on your computer while visiting certain sites on the Internet used to identify your computer), IP addresses, your browser type, operating system version, language settings, which locally installed Vikrant Group applications you use (if any) and how you use them, the web page you were visiting immediately prior to visiting our Website, pages of our Website that you visited, the time spent on those pages, information you searched for on our Website, access times and dates and other statistics.

This may include providing identified information to third party operated social networks or other web offerings (such as Twitter or LinkedIn). If you don’t want to receive this advertising, you can go to the relevant platform’s ad settings to opt out; and
  • where you have purchased products and services using a third party or partner organization, we often need to exchange information with them as part of managing that relationship and your account. You should also review the partner company’s privacy policy because it may describe uses of your information that are different from ours.

We may be required to share personal information with a third party or body where such disclosure is required to satisfy applicable law, or other legal or regulatory requirement or to protect the rights or property of Droot or others. This can include in response to lawful requests from a competent authority or body and to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

If all or any part of our business is re-organized or sold to another organization, we may need to provide your information to that organization. We may also be the recipient of personal information, where we are acquiring another organization or a part of their business. Where third parties are performing processing on our behalf, Vikrant Group will require these organizations to adopt adequate technical and organizational security measures to protect personal information and to ensure the processing of personal information is only performed as instructed by Droot and for no other purposes.
