The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for the website “SoftwareVilla.com”.
During the process of website administration and for providing you our products and services, SoftwareVilla.com may need to access some of your personal information, which may be used to personalize the website usage and to make it more user-friendly.
Also, the collection of personal information (which may include your name, e-mail address, etc.) helps us adapt our ads to your preferences.
We respect your privacy and grant confidentiality to the personal data we collect from you at different instances and through different means.

The terms of this privacy policy are valuable for, and applicable to, all types of personal information gathered from you. Additional clauses, if any, will be added if necessary for special services that we may offer in the future.
This privacy policy informs you about the type of personal data that we may collect from you, the way we can use it, who has access to it and the way we protect it.
SoftwareVilla may collect information from you either directly or through some traffic references of hosting servers. Furthermore, we may collect, and share, certain specific browsing information about your use of our website through, and with, Google Analytics as explained later in this privacy policy.
Wherever applicable, we may also collect information about your use of our site and through your social media activities interrelated to our product, services or website.
While using our website to download software or access any other services provided to you under the label SoftwareVilla.com, we may ask you about your name, e-mail address or other personal data. For example, when you try to contact us through one of the forms given on the website, you may need to enter your username, e-mail address, etc.

We may have access to information you directly provide and information through those social networking services based on your privacy settings on those networks.
SoftwareVilla allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the SoftwareVilla site. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the SoftwareVilla site. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content you see.
SoftwareVilla does not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. However, please note that if an advertiser asks SoftwareVilla to show an advertisement to a certain audience (for example, men aged 18-34) or audience segment (for example, men aged 18-24 who have viewed certain channels of content) and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach. The advertiser may also use information regarding your use of the SoftwareVilla site, such as the number of times you viewed an ad (but not any personally identifiable information), to determine which ads to deliver to you.
You need to acknowledge that, whenever you disclose information in public areas on the website, such as message boards (comments) or forums, that information becomes public and can easily be tracked and used by unauthorized persons.
Although SoftwareVilla does its best so as to protect your personal data, we cannot entirely grant you its safety. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.
