privacy policy

This privacy statement is applicable to all online services provided on the ModernRani website.

ModernRani respects the privacy of its Internet users and will protect that privacy as vigorously as possible. ModernRani does not collect information that personally identifies individuals except when individuals provide such specific information on a voluntary basis. There may be occasions where specific personal information is requested before an individual can enter certain sections of a ModernRani site. For example, your information is needed to enter contests on the site or to participate in any ModernRani online discussions. This kind of information helps us to ensure that content standards on these sections of the site are rigorously upheld or that contact can be made with prize winners.

In all such cases, ModernRani will collect only information that is voluntarily provided by the user and undertakes that such information will be kept strictly confidential. Individual information provided to the ModernRani to gain access to any ModernRani online service will not be sold or made available to a third party.

ModernRani does reserve the right, however, to perform statistical analyses of user behaviour and characteristics, in order to measure interest in and use of the various sections of its sites so as to improve design and navigation and to gather marketing information. Only aggregated data from these analyses, not individual data, will be used for this purpose.

As well, users should be aware that certain non-personal information and data may be automatically collected by the ModernRani through the operation of what are called "cookies". "Cookies" are small text files that identify an individual computer's browser entering a web site. They allow the site to track that browser's movement through the site over several sessions. Through cookies, a web site can recognize repeat users, facilitate the user's access to and use of the site and allow a site to track usage behaviour that will allow content improvements. ModernRani uses cookies only for the above-mentioned purposes and will not use them to identify users or to track non-ModernRani usage.

If you do not want a cookie placed on your computer by the ModernRani, you may disable cookies altogether by modifying the Preferences section of your internet browser (usually under Edit/Preferences/Advanced). Note that it is possible that some aspects of ModernRani sites may be unavailable to you if you choose this option. If you have no problem accepting cookies, but wish to be informed of their appearance, you may turn on a warning prompt by modifying the cookie warning section usually under Edit/Preferences/Advanced.
