We may ask for your name, email address, birth date, gender, pincode, occupation, industry, personal interests etc. Once you have sent us this information and sign in to our services, you are given a unique ‘Kothrud.com ID’ and are not anonymous to us anymore.
3. Use of information by Kothrud.com
Kothrud.com uses information for two general purposes: to customize the advertising and content you see and to contact you about specials and new products. Kothrud.com will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to third parties.
Kothrud.com may disclose personally identifiable information about you to third parties when:

Kothrud.com may amend this policy from time to time. Kothrud.com is a free website and the majority of our revenues are derived from advertising. Our paid services are subject to change at any given. In order to attract and retain advertisers, we aggregate all personal demographic data and provide the results to advertisers so that they will understand the value of Kothrud.com members as an aggregated advertising audience.
We understand that our number one asset is our ‘members’ and we will never knowingly do anything to harm the trust you have bestowed on us. When you become a member of Kothrud.com, or subscribe to our newsletters, we ask you a series of general demographic questions. We then compile the information that you provide us with the information other members provide us and make the compiled result available to our advertisers and partners.
We use any information voluntarily you give us to enhance your experience in our site, which is to provide you with interactive or personalized elements on the sites and to better prepare future content based on your interests. We aggregate this tracking information to determine which areas of our site members like and don’t like based on traffic to those areas. We don’t track what individual members read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
We also use the information that is gathered to tailor our content to suit your needs and help our advertisers better understand our audience’s demographics. This is essential to keeping our service free. Members may unsubscribe to any of our electronic newsletters at any time by following the instructions contained at the end of every newsletter.
Some of our business partners (advertisers, news/information providers) use cookies if you click to their site. However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
Log files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on Union Leader Corporation and relating to our Web site.
Aggregate information (non-personally identifiable)
We share aggregate information with our partners and advertisers. For example, visitor traffic is logged so we can count user sessions, identify our customer base and make improvements to meet user preferences. Gender and zip code information is collected at the time of site registration to help us better serve our readers and advertisers. Also, clicks from an advertiser’s banner or tile to that advertiser’s Web site are logged and reported to the advertiser. No personally identifiable information is collected in these operations.
