Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Harvard Business School Club of India collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. HBS Club of India’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how HBS Club of India’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Harvard Business School Club of India may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Harvard Business School Club of India also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on hbsclubindia.com blogs/sites. Harvard Business School Club of India only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to HBS Club of India’s websites choose to interact with Harvard Business School Club of India in ways that require Harvard Business School Club of India to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Harvard Business School Club of India gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with Harvard Business School Club of India are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Harvard Business School Club of India collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with HBS Club of India. Harvard Business School Club of India does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

The personal data that we specifically capture on this website includes:

• Your email address is stored until the post and/or product you commented upon is deleted.
• Your email address is stored until your account is deleted.
• Your email address is stored when you submit a form.
• Your IP address is stored until your account is deleted.

We use Google Analytics to collect, monitor and analyse aggregate access patterns in order to increase our services and functionality. We make full use of Google’s IP Anonymization support which anonymizes your IP address at the earliest possible stage of the collection network. The IP anonymization feature in Analytics sets the last octet of IPv4 user IP addresses and the last 80 bits of IPv6 addresses to zeros in memory shortly after being sent to the Analytics Collection Network. We also turn off campaign tracking and so protect your anonymity further should you receive an email from us with campaign information in the link.
