Please read this policy carefully. By visiting this website and using the services provided on this site, you are indicating your agreement to Ancient Baba' use of your personal information as set out in this Policy.

What Does This Policy Cover?
This Privacy Policy applies to this (Ancient Baba) website and information collected by and through this website. It does not apply to any other Ancient Baba services or dealings with users or customers and does not apply to third-party sites which may be linked to the Ancient Baba site.
Collection of Information
The Ancient Baba website collects personally identifiable information only from individuals who voluntarily choose to provide the information through the website. (In this Policy the foregoing information is referred to as "Personal Information.") That Personal Information may be collected through information forms that are / may be available on this site. For certain uses, this site may permit users to request a "user i.d." and password which can be used on future visits to the site. Visitors to the site may be asked to supply their name, geographic location and some information about their business or occupation or other reason for interest in the site. In addition, the site permits users to supply an e-mail address to sign up for newsletters and / or other information in a similarly compiled format. Certain sections of this site may also include feedback or comment forms whereby users can submit questions or comments to Ancient Baba. (In this Policy, the foregoing information is referred to as "User Information.")
Certain portions of this site may permit users to enter into transactions with Ancient Baba or to take advantage of services provided by Ancient Baba to its customers through the site or through its offices in any location. With regard to this, users will be required to provide detailed information necessary to enable Ancient Baba to process the transaction and to provide the goods or services requested by the visitor. Visitors may be requested to provide financial information, including credit card or bank information, in connection with such transactions. Visitors may also be asked to provide information about licenses which they hold in order to determine whether Ancient Baba can lawfully conduct business as per the request/s made by the visitor. (In this Policy, the foregoing information is referred to as "Transactional Information.")
The Ancient Baba website may at some point also provide chat rooms or discussion forums where users may register and post messages or comments. Participation in such discussion areas is entirely voluntary. No information which a user posts in such an area is private, in as much as it will be accessible to other users of the same area. Thus, any Personal Information which a user chooses to post in such an area will not be subject to this Privacy Policy.
From time-to-time our site may request additional information from users by means of surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose whatever additional information may be requested. Information requested through surveys and contests may include additional demographic information. (In this Policy, the foregoing information is referred to as "Survey Information.")
In addition to the foregoing Personal Information, this site automatically logs information about a visitor from the browser used to access the site (e.g., Mobile Apps, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc.). This includes information about the I.P. address of the visitor, the pages in the site which are visited from that address and the website which the user visited just prior to the Ancient Baba site. (In this Policy, the foregoing information is referred to as "Visit Information"). None of this Visit Information permits personal identification of the individual user who is accessing the Ancient Baba site; thus Visit Information is not considered Personal Information in this Policy. Visit Information will be used by Ancient Baba to diagnose problems with its web servers, to administer, design and construct its web sites, to track visitor movements on the web sites and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use only.

Security
Ancient Baba takes precautions to protect users' information. Our safeguards include technical means and policies and procedures that our staff is trained to follow. In any event in which the Ancient Baba web site is hosted by a third party, these safeguards shall also apply. If as a registered user you receive a password, you should keep it confidential because it is the key to access to the information held by Ancient Baba about you. If you leave your computer's internet browser running and someone else uses your computer, they will be able to access your account; thus, if your computer is not physically secure remember to shut down your browser before you leave it. We try to reduce the likelihood of accidental disclosures and unintended access and modification of account information, but it is impossible to eliminate this possibility completely. When users submit sensitive information via the website, their information is protected both on-line and off-line. When an enrolment or order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number) that information is encrypted and is protected with the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
While Ancient Baba uses SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, it also takes steps to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Ancient Baba employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure that our customers' information is protected.
Protecting Your Own Privacy
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on message boards, through email, or in chat areas - that information can be collected and used by others. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information.
Changes to Policy
If Ancient Baba decides to change its privacy policies and practices, we will post those changes to our Privacy Policy on our web site in advance of the changes taking effect, so that our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will continue to be able to use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy under which the information was collected.
