Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions
Privacy Statement: Thank you for visiting the website operated by the Institute of Horticulture Technology (IHT). IHT understands that the privacy of its users is important. Information collected on https://www.iht.edu.in/ is kept private and never shared with other organisations. This privacy statement informs you about the types of information gathered and disseminated on the website. Please note that this policy has been developed with the recognition that Internet technologies continue to evolve rapidly, and that such changes may necessitate updates to our Privacy Policy. Any such alterations will not affect our overall commitment to protecting the privacy of our visitors.
General Statement
You can visit our website without providing any personal information or identifying yourself. However, certain transactions that you choose to engage in on this site will require your submission of personal information, including, but not limited to, profile updates, applications and specific databases. As a general rule, IHT will not sell, swap, rent, or otherwise disclose to any third party any such personal information for commercial purposes. Such information will be utilized only for the purpose stated. To accomplish this purpose, IHT may disclose the information to its employees, consultants, and agents who have a legitimate need to know the information. IHT also reserves the right to disclose this information under exceptional circumstances, including disclosures required by law, court order, or circumstances in which disclosure, in the sole discretion of IHT, is necessary to protect the legal rights, including intellectual property rights, of IHT.
Use of Information
IHT may collect other information about its users that is not directly connected to any specific personal identity, such as data on usage and service operation. The following summarises the types of information that we may collect.
System Information, IP Addresses and Referrers
When you connect to our website, our web server may record the numerical Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using, information about your browser and operating system, the date and time of access, and the internet address and page that linked you to our website. The staff of IHT uses this information to diagnose problems, administer and improve our website, and generate aggregate statistical reports that analyse general user information and demographics. Unless required by legal process, we do not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information. This means that user sessions may be tracked by IP address, but a user’s identity remains anonymous.
Additionally, we do not ordinarily disclose site usage to third parties by individual IP addresses. Still, we may do so in very limited circumstances when complying with the law or legal process, working with consultants who assist us in fixing or improving our site, or when monitoring and improving the security of our network. Our staff monitors search terms that users enter into our Search Engine, but this tracking is never associated with individual users.
Cookies
Cookies are unique bits of computer data that many major websites transfer to your computer the first time that you visit. Cookies are stored on your hard drive and may be accessed by the website later to track your prior usage. IHT may use cookies and pixels, or transparent GIF files. With both cookies and Spotlight technology, the information that we collect and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not contain your name, address, telephone number, or email address.
A cookie may also be used to deliver customizable and personalised services for information by tracking already visited pages. We may also use cookies to anonymously track session information, such as the pages visited or the duration of the visit, which will help us continue to improve our format and content.
You may be able to set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when one is being sent. Likely, some portions of our site will not function properly if cookies are disabled.
External Links
The IHT site contains links to other independently run websites within our network and to some sites outside the www.IHT.edu.in domains that IHT does not control. This privacy policy does not apply to non-IHT sites. IHT is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of such websites. IHT cannot be responsible for the content of external third-party sites. By using such links, the user releases IHT from any liability arising from the use of such third-party websites.
Security Precautions
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Unfortunately, due to the nature of Internet communications, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While IHT remains committed to protecting the privacy of our users, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. We achieve this by utilising secure technology, implementing privacy protection controls, and restricting employee access; however, we make no representations regarding the effectiveness of these measures.
