Privacy Statement Thank you for visiting the website operated by the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA). IIMA understands that the privacy of its users is important. Information collected on https://www.iima.ac.in/ is kept private and never shared with other organizations. 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 develop and evolve rapidly, and that such changes may require us to alter our Privacy Policy. Any such alterations will not affect our general commitment to the protection of our visitors' privacy.

General Statement

You may visit our website without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information. 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 certain databases. As a general rule, IIMA 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 such a purpose, IIMA may disclose the information to its employees, consultants and agents who have a legitimate need to know the information. IIMA also reserves the right to disclose this information under special circumstances, including disclosures required by law, court order or circumstances under which disclosure, in the sole discretion of IIMA, is necessary to protect the legal rights, including the intellectual property rights, of IIMA.

Use of Information

IIMA may collect other information about its users that is not connected with any specific personal identity, such as data about usage and service operation. The following summarizes 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, date and time of access and the internet address and page which linked you to our web site. The staff of IIMA uses such information to diagnose problems, to administer and improve our website and to generate aggregate statistical reports that analyze general user information and demographics. Unless required by legal process, we do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that user sessions may be tracked by IP address, but a user's identity remains anonymous.

In addition, we ordinarily do not disclose site usage to third parties by individual IP addresses, but may do so in very limited circumstances when complying with law or legal process, working with consultants assisting us in fixing or improving our site, or in 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

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 personalized services for information by tracking already visited pages. We may also use cookies to anonymously track session information, such as pages visited or duration of visit, which will help us continue to improve our format and content.
