personal information from you such as name, physical address or telephone
number. It is our intent to inform you before we do that and to tell you what we
intend to do with the information. Generally, you will have the option not to
provide the information, and in the future you will be able to "opt out" of
certain uses of the information. If you choose not to provide the information we
request, you can still visit the NamasteyIndia website, but you may be unable to
access certain options, offers and services.

registration and providing you with benefits you are entitled to.

with us. We have implemented technology and security features and strict policy
