Build Your Own Brand Pvt. Ltd. (“BYOB”) provides this Privacy Policy to let you know our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information through www.byob.net.in (the “Site”), and any other websites, features, applications, widgets or online services that are owned or controlled by BYOB and that post a link to this Privacy Policy(together with the Site, the “Service”), as well as any information BYOB collects offline in connection with the Service. It also describes the choices available to you regarding the use of, your access to, and how to update and correct your personal information. Note that we combine the information we collect from you from the Site, through the Service generally, or offline.
Please note that certain features or services referenced in this Privacy Policy may not be offered on the Service at all times.
Information You Provide to Us
Personal Information: In the course of using the Service we may require or otherwise collect information that identifies you as a specific individual and can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Information”). Examples of Personal Information include your name, email address, work experience, permanent address, billing address, and phone number.
Identity Verification: We may collect Personal Information, such as details of your Passport, Electors Photo Identity, Driving License, Aadhaar, or other identification information to validate your identity as may be required by law. We may request documents to verify this information, such as a copy of your Government Issued Aadhaar Card, Electors Photo Identity Card, Passport or Driving License (“Government Issued Documents”).
Audience: The Service is for all audiences and intended for Users who are 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from anyone younger than age 18. If we become aware that a child younger than 18 has provided us with Personal Information, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete such information from our files. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child younger than age 18 and believe that BYOB has collected Personal Information from your child, please contact us at: support@byob.net.in
Non-Identifying Information/Usernames: We also may collect other information, such as zip codes, demographic data, information regarding your use of the Service, and general data (“Non-Identifying Information”). We may aggregate information collected from BYOB’s registered and non-registered users (“BYOB Users”). In some cases, we may render Personal Information (generally, email address) into a form of Non-Identifying Information referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Hashed Information.” This is typically accomplished using a mathematical process (commonly known as a hash function) to convert information into a code. The code does not identify you directly, but it may be used to connect your activity and interests.
Combination of Personal and Non-Identifying Information: Certain Non-Identifying Information would be considered a part of your Personal Information if it were combined with other identifiers in a way that enables you to be identified (for example, combining information with your name). But the same pieces of information are considered Non-Identifying Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other non-identifying information (for example, your viewing preferences). We may combine your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information, but BYOB will treat the combined information as personal Information.
You do not have a statutory obligation to provide us with any information, but you may have a contractual obligation to do so, and if we do not receive certain information from you, then we will not be able to provide our Service to you. If you have any questions regarding whether provision of information is mandatory and the consequences for withholding such information, please contact us using the contact information below.
Information Received from Third Parties
We also may receive information about you from third parties. For example, we may supplement the information we collect with outside records or third parties may provide information in connection with a co-marketing agreement. If we combine the information we receive from others with information we collect through the service, we will treat the combined information as described in this Privacy Policy.
Information Collected Automatically
We and our third-party service providers, including analytics and third-party content providers, may automatically collect certain information from you whenever you access or interact with the Service. This information may include, among other information, the browser and operating system you are using, the URL or advertisement that referred you to the Service, the search terms you entered into a search engine that led you to the Service, areas within the service that you visited, which links you clicked on, which pages or content you viewed and for how long, other similar information and statistics about your interactions, such as content response times, download errors and length of visits to certain pages and other information commonly shared when browsers communicate with websites. We may combine this automatically collected login information with other information we collect about you. We do this to improve the services we offer you, and to improve marketing, analytics, and site functionality.
The information we collect also includes the Internet Protocol (“IP”)address or other unique device identifier (“Device Identifier”) for any device (computer, mobile phone, tablet, etc.) used to access the Service. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned or connected to the device you use to access the Service, and our servers identify your device by its Device Identifier. Some mobile service providers may also provide us or our third-party service providers with information regarding the physical location of the device used to access the Service.
BYOB and its partners use cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movement around the website, the desktop app, and the mobile app, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. The technology used to collect information automatically from BYOB Users may include the following:
Cookies: Like many websites, we and our marketing partners, affiliates, analytics, and service providers use “cookies” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We use both persistent cookies that remain on your computer or similar device (such as to save your registration ID and login password for future logins to the Service and to track your compliance with the BYOB Terms of Service) and session ID cookies, which expire at the end of your browser session (for example, to enable certain features of the Service, to better understand how BYOB Users interact with the service and to monitor aggregate usage by BYOB Users and web traffic routing on the Service). You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level, but if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functionality of the Service.
Web Beacons: We and our marketing partners, affiliates, analytics, and service providers may also employ software technology known as “web beacons” and/or “tracking tags” to help us keep track of what content on our Service is effective and to serve relevant advertising to you. Web beacons are small graphics with a unique identifier that may be invisible to you, and which are used to track the online activity of Internet users. Web beacons are embedded in the web pages you review or email messages you receive. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to our Service, to monitor how BYOB Users navigate the Service, to count how many emails that were sent were actually opened, or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.
Embedded Scripts: We and our marketing partners, affiliates, analytics, and service providers may also employ software technology known as an Embedded Script. An Embedded Script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Service, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your computer or other device and is deactivated or deleted when you disconnect from the Service.
In addition, we and our marketing partners, affiliates, analytics, and service providers may use a variety of other technologies (such as tags) that collect similar information for security and fraud detection purposes and we may use third-parties to perform these services on our behalf.
Please note that your browser setting may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to websites and online services you visit. There is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many websites and online services, BYOB does not alter its practices when it receives a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
User Profiles
You may have the opportunity to create a profile, which consists of information about you, and may include Personal Information, photographs, examples of your work, information on work previously performed, skills, tests taken, test scores, hourly pay rates, and earnings information, feedback and other information, including your username (“Profile”). You may edit your information in your Profile via your account. If, in any case, you believe that an unauthorized Profile has been created about you, you can request for it to be removed by contacting us at support@byob.net.in.
Identity Verification
Before a User can complete registration on the Service, or at any time thereafter, we may request or re-request identity verification. BYOB may use the information obtained from Identity Verification for purposes of verifying your identity, enforcing our Terms of Service and other agreements, and preventing fraud.
Testimonials
We display personal testimonials of satisfied customers on our Service, in addition to other endorsements. With your consent, we may post your testimonial along with your name. If you wish to update or delete your testimonial, you can contact us at (insert email address).
Feedback
We collect private feedback from BYOB Users about their experience with our service. We use this information to respond to your inquiries, improve the service and how our Site functions, and develop new products and features.
Social Networking Services
You may register to join the Service directly via the Service or by logging into your account with a third-party social networking service (“SNS”) via our Service. If you choose to register via an SNS, or to later link your account with the Service to your account with an SNS, we will use the personal information you have provided to the SNS (such as your name, email address, gender, and other information you make publicly available via the SNS) to create your account. Note that the information we collect from and through an SNS may depend on the privacy settings you have set with the SNS and the permissions you grant to us in connection with linking your account with the Service to your account with an SNS. Other than what we may share with the SNS as described below, the Personal Information an SNS has about you is obtained by the SNS independent of our Service, and BYOB is not responsible for it.
The BYOB Service also may permit additional interactions between it and a third-party website, service, or other content provider. If you choose to share content or to otherwise share information from or via our Service with a third-party site or service, that information may be publicly displayed, and the third-party may have access to information about you and your use of our service (and we may have access to information about you from that third-party). These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Your interactions with third parties through an SNS or similar features are governed by the respective privacy policies of those third parties.
You represent that you are entitled to use your SNS account for the purposes described herein without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern the SNS, and without obligating BYOB to pay any fees or making BYOB subject to any usage limitations imposed by such SNS. Please note that your relationship with any SNS is governed solely by your agreement(s) with such SNS. If your SNS account terminates, then functions enabled through the link between your BYOB account and your SNS account will terminate as well.
SMS Terms of Service
BYOB Alerts
For users who opt-in, the BYOB Alerts SMS program sends helpful reminders related to activity on the BYOB platform and other marketing and promotional messages. Users may opt-in to the program by texting “JOIN” to BYOB. The number of messages received may vary based on user activity. Messaging and data usage rates may apply to all text messages between you and BYOB. If you have any questions about your text plan or data plan, it is best to contact your wireless provider. This program is provided as a service to you, and neither BYOB nor your mobile carrier will be responsible or liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You can cancel the SMS service at any time by texting "STOP" to BYOB. After you send the SMS message "STOP" to us, you will receive an SMS message confirming that you have been unsubscribed and you should no longer receive marketing SMS messages from us. To opt-in again, just sign up as you did the first time and we will start sending SMS messages to you again.

If you agree at that time to have your Personal Information shared, your Personal Information will be disclosed to that third party (or parties) and will be subject to the privacy policy and practices of that third party. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of third parties, and, if you later decide that you no longer want to receive communications from a third party, you will need to contact that third party directly. You also may request, sometimes through your use of an SNS or similar interactive feature or third party application, that we share information about you with a third party and we will typically do so under those circumstances.

Data Subject Rights
In accordance with applicable law, you may have the right to:
Access Personal Information about you, including: (i) confirming whether we are processing your personal information; (ii) obtaining access to or a copy of your personal information.
Request Correction of your personal information where it is inaccurate, incomplete or outdated. In some cases, you can update your personal information within your BYOB account by logging in and visiting settings/user settings.
Request Deletion, Anonymization or Blocking of your personal information when processing is based on your consent or when processing is unnecessary, excessive or noncompliant. Note that if your information is deleted, then your account may become deactivated. If your account is deactivated or you ask to close your account, you will no longer be able to use the Service. If you would like to close your account in our system, you can do so through the BYOB Service.
Request Restriction of or Object to our processing of your personal information when processing is noncompliant.
Withdraw your Consent to our processing of your personal information. If you refrain from providing personal information or withdraw your consent to processing, some features of our Service may not be available.
Be informed about third parties with which your personal information has been shared.
Request the review of decisions taken exclusively based on automated processing if that could affect data subject rights.
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to honor your requests for deletion; however, certain information will actively persist on the Service even if you close your account. In addition, the rights described above may be limited, for example, if you ask us to delete information we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping (such as for fraud prevention purposes). Your Personal Information may remain in our archives and information you update or delete, or information within a closed account, may persist internally for our administrative purposes, to the extent permitted by law.
BYOB takes commercially reasonable steps to help protect and secure the information it collects and stores about BYOB Users. All access to the Site is encrypted using industry-standard transport layer security technology (“TLS”). When you enter sensitive information we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (“SSL”). We also use HTTP strict transport security to add an additional layer of protection for our BYOB Users. But remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Thus, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, BYOB cannot ensure and does not warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.
Since BYOB is an Indian Company we process and store your information in India. If you are located outside India and choose to provide information to us, BYOB transfers Personal Information to India for processing, and our service providers may process Personal Information in India and elsewhere. These countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. When we transfer your information to India, we will protect it as described in this Privacy Policy.
Our Service contains links to other websites. If you choose to click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s website. The fact that we link to a website is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that third party, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices. We do not exercise control over third party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit Personal Information from you. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.
Phishing websites imitate legitimate websites in order to obtain personal or financial information. Identity theft and the practice currently known as “phishing” are of great concern to BYOB. If you believe you have received an email or had a similar interaction with a third party pretending to be BYOB, please report it at support@byob.net.in
BYOB may update this Privacy Policy at any time and any changes will be effective upon posting. In the event that there are substantial changes to the way we treat your Personal Information, we will display a notice through the Services prior to the change becoming effective. We may also notify you by email, in our discretion. However, we will use your Personal Information in a manner consistent with the Privacy Policy in effect at the time you submitted the information, unless you consent to the new or revised policy.
In accordance with the provisions of The Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Information) Rules, 2011, any grievances which you may have with respect to the use of Personal Information collected from you, may be directed to BYOB’s Grievance Officer at:
