YogiLoka's Privacy Policy
July 7th 2010
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use the personal information you share with us when using YogiLoka’s website, located at www.YogiLoka.com. By using or accessing our website, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
When you visit www.YogiLoka.com you provide us with two types of information:
1. Personal information that is required for registering on our website and the personal information you knowingly choose to disclose in various sections of the website. This includes information such as such as your name, your email address, your telephone number, your address, your gender, and any other personal or preference information that you provide to us.
2. Website usage information collected by us as you interact with our website. This includes information such as your browser type and IP address. This information is gathered for all YogiLoka visitors. In addition, we store certain information from your browser using "cookies." A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in. These cookies terminate once the user closes the browser.
You post Content (as defined in the YogiLoka Terms of Use) on our website at your own risk. Please keep in mind that if you disclose personal information in your profile or when posting comments, messages, photos, Classifieds listings or other items, this information may become publicly available. We cannot control the actions of other Users with whom you may choose to share your information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that the Content you post on the website will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the website. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of User Content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other Users have copied or stored your User Content.
If you choose to use our invitation service to tell a friend about our website, we will ask you for information needed to send the invitation, such as your friend's name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit our website. YogiLoka stores this information to send your friend an invitation, to register your friend if your invitation is accepted, and to track the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us at info@YogiLoka.com to request that we remove this information from our database.
Protection for children and young adults under age 18
YogiLoka does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 18 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register on YogiLoka or send any personal information about yourself to us. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child or a young adult under age 18, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child or a young adult under 18, please contact us at info@YogiLoka.com.
Use of Information Obtained by YogiLoka
We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by YogiLoka. We may also send you service-related announcements from time to time to ensure continuity in our service. For instance, if a member sends you a new message you may receive an email alerting you to that fact. Generally, you may opt out of such emails here, though YogiLoka reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.
Sharing Your Information with Third Parties
We do not provide your contact information to third party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is 1) reasonably necessary to offer the service, 2) legally required or, 3) permitted by you.
Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the YogiLoka-specified purposes.
If the ownership of all or a substantial part of the YogiLoka business were to change, your personal information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your personal information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.
Links to other websites
YogiLoka may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. We encourage our users to read the privacy statements of each and every web site they go to from our site. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by YogiLoka.
Changing or Removing Information
You can access and modify your personal information on www.YogiLoka.com through the MyYogiLoka option on our website. YogiLoka users may modify or delete any of their profile information at any time by logging into their account. Information will be updated immediately. Individuals who wish to deactivate their YogiLoka account may do so on the My Account page. Removed information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time but will not be generally available to members of YogiLoka. Where you make use of the communication features of the service to share information with other individuals on YogiLoka, (e.g., sending a personal message to another YogiLoka user) you generally cannot remove such communications.
Security
YogiLoka takes appropriate precautions to protect our users' information. Your account information is located on a secured server behind a firewall. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number or your password), we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Because email and instant messaging are not recognized as secure communications, we request that you not send private information to us by email or instant messaging services.

We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use at any time. Any changes made to our Privacy Policy will be posted on this page and we also indicate at the top of this page the policy's new effective date.
