Privacy Statement
Welcome to the Space Technologies and Education Private Limited ("STEPL")
web properties. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination
practices for the Sites. This Statement applies only to information collected through
the Sites and not to information collected offline or through other web sites owned
or operated by STEPL.
Information We Collect
There are two kinds of information web sites can obtain about you: "Anonymous
Information" and "Personally Identifiable Information".
"Personally Identifiable Information" is any information that personally
identifies you, such as your name, email address or your telephone number. Sometimes
this personal information is needed when you place an order, subscribe to our email
newsletter, or when you contact us. In addition, we may ask you to provide us with
personal information on a voluntary basis in certain areas of our Sites.
Personally Identifiable Information collected through our Sites may be used for
purposes, including administration of the Sites, order processing and communications
with you. For example, some of our Sites use an order form for customers to request
information, products, and services. We collect visitor's contact information (like
email addresses) and financial information (like account or credit card numbers).
Customer contact information may be used to get in touch with the visitor when necessary.
Credit card information that is collected is used to bill the user for products
and services. Contact information from the order form is also used to send orders
and information about STEPL and its Sites to our customers.
We may use this information to maintain your account and send you announcements
of new Site features, special offers and promotional material that we think may
be of interest to you. In all cases, however, we will only use your information
as permitted by law. We may also disclose Personally Identifiable Information if
we are required to do so by law or we in good faith believe that such action is
necessary to (a) comply with the law or with legal process; (b) protect and defend
our rights and property; (c) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Site;
or (d) protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public. Please
note that we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Disclosure of Information Through Business Transfers
As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, merge or partner with other
companies or businesses, and in so doing, acquire customer information. In such
transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. Similarly, in
the event that a portion or substantially all of STEPL’s assets are sold or
transferred to a third party, customer information (including your email address)
would likely be one of the transferred business assets.

party web sites. Inclusion of any linked web site on any of our Sites does not imply
or express an approval or endorsement of the linked web site by us, or of any of
the content, opinions, products or services provided on these web sites. Even if
an affiliation exists between STEPL and a third-party web site, we exercise no control
over linked sites. Each of these linked sites maintains its own independent privacy
and data collection policies and procedures. If you visit a web site that is linked
to from one of our Sites, we encourage you to consult that web site's privacy policy
before providing any personal information and whenever interacting with any web
site.

becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose

viewed by other Internet users, without your knowledge and permission, while in
transit to us. For that reason, to protect your privacy, please do not use email
to communicate information to us that you consider confidential. While we strive
to protect your personal information, STEPL cannot ensure or warrant the security
of any information you transmit to us or through this our Sites. Once we receive
your transmission, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our
internal systems. Depending on the nature of the inquiry, your communication may
