Privacy Policy


Website Visitors:
Except as herein described, InvestingMantra.com and Kunal A. Desai (collectively "we", "us", "our") do not collect or require visitors to our Web sites to furnish personally-identifying information such as names, email addresses and phone numbers. Like most Web site operators, we do collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and date and time of each visitor request. We also collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, which are non-personally-identifying in and of themselves but could be used in conjunction with other information to personally identify users.

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Comment and Contact Forms:
Certain visitors to our site choose to interact with us in ways that require us to know more about them. The amount and type of information that we gather from those visitors depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, visitors who wish to post comments to our blog posts are asked to provide valid e-mail addresses that identify that content as having been posted by a legitimate visitor. Visitors that submit contact or other forms, by comparison, are asked to provide contact information, up to and sometimes including telephone or fax numbers, so that they can be contacted as necessary. In each case, we collect personally-identifying information only insofar as is necessary to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with us.

I believe that all personally-identifying information should remain confidential to the maximum extent of the law. Except as otherwise required by law, rule, or regulation or in the following manner, we will not share your personally-identifying information with any outside party:

•Providing our products and services to users, including the display of customized content and advertising;
•Auditing, research and analysis in order to maintain, protect and improve our services;
•Ensuring the technical functioning of our network; and
•Developing new services.
We will never sell, pledge, lease, or otherwise assign or give your personal information to anyone.

Information Security:
I take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.

I restrict access to personal information to certain individuals who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.

Changes to This Policy:
Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Policy without your explicit consent, and we expect most such changes will be minor. Regardless, we will post any Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice.

If you have any additional questions or concerns about this Policy, please feel free to contact us any time through this web site.
