Objective

Dun & Bradstreet Information Services India Private Limited (“D&B”) believes that the free flow of information must be balanced against data protection interests and hence, the objective of this Policy is to ensure a fair balance between the two that makes good business sense. This Privacy Policy describes the privacy norms applicable to this website. This website also provides links to other D&B websites that may carry different privacy notices.

Website Data Collection Practices

D&B collects some information about visitors indirectly through standard web logs, including IP address, browser details (e.g., Netscape), and the domain name through which a visitor entered this website (e.g., www.yourcompany.com or www.youruniversity.edu). D&B normally uses this information in the aggregate to administer and improve this website. Some data may be traceable to an individual, but D&B does not normally seek to identify individuals, unless D&B believes that someone is using this website improperly.

Cookies

D&B sometimes uses an internet device called a ‘cookie’ to store login or other information on the visitors’ computers. A cookie is a small amount of information that a website transfers to the hard drives of the visitors’ computers. D&B uses cookies to simplify the visitors’ access and to tailor D&B’s services to the visitors’ needs and interests. For some services, D&B offers visitors the choice of having their IDs or passwords stored in a cookie, so that the visitors do not need to re-enter the said information when they return to this website. No other website can read a cookie set by D&B, and D&B cannot read a cookie that another website wrote to the visitors’ computers. Most internet browsers are set to accept cookies. Visitors can reset browsers to refuse cookies and still use this website, although access may be slower and less convenient.

Use, Disclosure, and Choice

D&B may collect individually identifiable information from visitors intending to get themselves registered on this website, to enable D&B to administer individual accounts, update its records, provide customer support, meet statutory or regulatory requirements and for any other purposes to satisfy its business requirements. Visitors may be contacted as necessary for these purposes. D&B may ask visitors to choose whether they would like to receive promotional email updates about products and services offered by D&B.

Confidentiality and Security Safeguards

D&B takes technical, administrative and physical steps to protect against anticipated hazards such as unauthorized access to and disclosure of individually identifiable information. D&B employees who handle confidential or proprietary information treat it confidentially and do not disclose it to unauthorized third parties.
