In addition, our Sites may link to third party services or apps that we don’t control, including social media sites (collectively “Third Party Sites”). You should be aware that Third Party Sites may have different privacy practices from our Site and may provide less security than this Site. The choice to access a Third Party Site is yours, in your sole discretion.
Please note that this Online Privacy Statement also applies regardless of how you may access the Site, including through a mobile device. Once you leave our Site or are redirected to a Third Party Site, you are no longer governed by this Online Privacy Statement.
Generally, we collect and receive certain information about you when you access the Site. What we receive, and how we receive it, in part depends on what you do when you access the Site.
We collect personally-identifiable information (such as your name, address, or phone number) and non-personally-identifiable when you provide it to us. For example, if you request to receive offers and alerts or when you complete an online survey. In addition, our business partners and service providers may give us information about you. Please note that, except for the limited instances where you choose to interact with us and provide us with your personally-identifiable information directly, you are not required to submit personally-identifiable information. You can browse the Site and review the content on the Site without having to submit such information.

Das Educational Consultancy uses these features to collect non-personally-identifiable information about you. This type of information may include (but is not limited to) your IP address and/or domain; the type and version of the Internet browser that you use; the date, time and duration of your visit to the Site, and the specific pages, buttons, images, videos or other Site content that you may access during your visit. These tools enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on and off the Site.
Your browser may enable you to block or (in the case of cookies) delete some of the means by which we automatically collect information when you visit the Site, but doing so may affect your experience on the Site. You should refer to your browser about what options might be available to you. Das Education does not process or respond to Do Not Track signals or other similar signals whereby a visitor to a website requests that it disables collection of information about the visitor’s online activities over time and across different websites. By visiting and using the Site you consent to the use of these tracking technologies and related services.
We or our service providers may use information about your activities on the Site (such as the pages that you visit and the key words that you use to search for content) to help determine what advertisements or offers might be of interest to you. These advertisements may be on the Site or on Third Party Sites. The use of information in this manner is referred to as “online behavioral advertising.” We believe that online behavioral advertising helps to provide you with more relevant advertising based on the websites that you visit.
You may opt-out of online behavioral advertising by following the instructions in the “Your Options” section of this Online Privacy Statement. Please note that opting out of online behavioral advertising will not stop you from receiving advertisements. However, the advertisements that you see may not be as relevant to you.

We may also use data that we collect on an aggregate or anonymous basis (such that it does not identify any individual customer) for various business purposes, which may include offering products or services, research, marketing or analyzing marketing trends consistent with applicable law.
We may share the personally-identifiable information that you provide to us or that we receive from our business partners and/or service providers with our service providers. For example, we share your email address with service providers who send emails on our behalf. We may also share non-personally-identifiable information with third parties who perform advertising services on our behalf and with companies that operate or analyze the Site. We do not authorize these third parties to collect, use, or disclose this information except as necessary to perform services for us or to comply with law. These third parties may not use the information that we provide to them to independently market to you unless you consent.
