PRIVACY POLICY
All personal information collected by VIGS for providing the application assistance (hereinafter referred to as ‘Services’) is governed by the laws applicable for the time being in force, the policy guidelines of the Government of the USA. This means that you will be informed of the purpose for which your personal information is being collected and how to exercise your right of access to that information.
This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with the relevant Document Checklist and Forms. By accepting the Privacy Policy, you expressly consent to our Privacy Policy.
The website www.visaindiaglobalservice.com contains the required information in connection with the Services (“Website”). The said Website will be updated, modified, or amended as and when the Government of India makes any changes in the rules and/or changes in applicable law or advice of the legal advisors of VIGS from time to time.
The nature of the Internet is that Web servers automatically collect certain information about a visit to a website, including the visitor’s Internet Protocol (IP) address. IP addresses are unique numbers assigned by Internet Service Providers (ISP) to all devices used to access the Internet. Web servers automatically log the IP addresses of visitors to their sites. The IP address, on its own, does not identify an individual. However, in certain circumstances, such as with the co-operation of an ISP, it could be used to identify an individual using the site. For this reason, VIGS considers the IP address to be personal information, particularly when combined with other data automatically collected when a visitor requests a Web page such as the page or pages visited, date, and time of the visit.
We collect no personally identifiable information (referred herein intermittently as “PII” or “personal information”) about you when you visit our site unless you choose to provide this information to us. Submitting personally identifiable information through our website is voluntary, but by doing so, you are giving your permission to use the information for the stated purpose. Not providing certain information may result in our inability to provide you with the service you desire. If you choose to provide us with PII on a VIGS website, through such methods as completing a web form or sending us an email, we will use that information to help us provide you the information or Service you have requested or to respond to your message. The information we may receive from you varies based on what you do when visiting our site.
In cases where organizations provide services outside of the VIGS websites and particularly on the website/web portals of the Government of India, Embassy of India and its Consulates General signed in the USA, and or on websites such as social media platforms or mobile applications, IP addresses may be recorded by the Web server of the third-party service provider.
