Effective as of April 1, 2011
INTRODUCTION:
This Privacy Policy describes how Pikku Kaveri, LLC ("ZLAND," "us" or "we"), will collect and use your personally identifiable information ("PII") (that is - your full name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, and/or credit card number) as well as data that can, under certain circumstances, indirectly lead to PII ("Related Data").
This Policy applies to PII and Related Data received by us from: (a) consumers who provide us with information in connection with purchases of product or services from ZLAND, and (b) visitors when they visit or register with sites that link to this Privacy Policy.
At ZLAND’s discretion at any time, ZLAND may revise this Privacy Policy. If we make revisions that change the way we collect or use your PII or Related Data, those changes will be posted in this Privacy Policy and the effective date will be noted at the beginning of the Policy. Therefore, you should review it periodically so that you are up to date on our most current policies and practices. If we make material changes to our practices regarding use of your PII or Related Data, your PII and Related Data will continue to be governed by the Privacy Policy under which it was subject prior to those changes, unless you have been provided notice of, and have not objected to, the changes.
INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT: Generally. When you purchase our products, services and/or advertising, we collect PII and Related Information from you. We also may collect PII and Related Information from you when you contact us about your advertising or yellow page listings or participate in other activities including chats, message boards and/or similar communications. When you visit our web sites, we automatically collect non-PII such as IP addresses and web site usage information from you.

We may use cookies and similar tools to relate your use of our web sites to PII obtained from you and/or a reputable third party.

However, if we wish to combine your personal and cookie or click stream information in this manner, we will obtain your express affirmative consent.
