Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information this website collects, how it is used and the choices you have. As a knowledge hub focused on information systems security, we practice the same principle we teach: collect as little personal data as possible, and protect what we do hold.

Information we collect

You can read the material on this site without creating an account or providing personal information. If you contact us by email, we receive the details you choose to share — such as your name, email address and the content of your message — solely so that we can respond.

Like most websites, our servers may automatically record limited technical information, such as browser type, approximate region and pages visited. This data is used in aggregate to understand how the site is used and to keep it secure and reliable.

How we use information

Any information we collect is used only to operate and improve the site, to respond to enquiries, and to protect the service against abuse. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles.

Cookies and analytics

The site may use essential cookies needed for it to function, and privacy-conscious analytics to measure general usage trends. Analytics data is aggregated and not used to identify individual visitors. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.

Data sharing

We do not share your personal information with third parties except where necessary to operate the site (for example, trusted hosting or analytics providers acting on our behalf), or where required to do so by law. Any such providers are expected to handle data responsibly and only for the purposes we specify.

How we protect your data

We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect the limited information we hold against unauthorized access, alteration or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to align our own practices with the security principles this site advocates.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct or request deletion of the personal information we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@iciss.org.in and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Third-party links

This site may link to external resources for further reading. Those sites operate under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, such as responding to your enquiry, and to meet any legal or operational requirements. When it is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymized.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices or legal obligations change. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date, and we encourage you to review it periodically.
