TCS Privacy Policy for the
Internet
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is
sensitive to privacy issues on the Internet. We believe
it is important you know how we treat the information
about you, we receive from you, on the Internet.
In general, you can visit TCS on the World Wide Web
without telling us who you are or revealing any information
about yourself. Our Web servers collect the domain names,
not the e-mail addresses, of visitors. This information
is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average
time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc. TCS uses
this information to measure the use of our site and
to improve the content of our site. Your accessing our
site signifies your unconditional consent to allow the
collection of your domain names.
There are times, however, when we may need information
from you, such as your name and address. When information
is needed, we will try (but are not obligated) to let
you know at the time of collection, how we will use
the personal information. Usually, the personal information
we collect is used only by us to respond to your inquiry,
process an order or allow you to access specific account
information. Occasionally, we may make the e-mail addresses,
of those who provide information, available to other
reputable organizations whose products or services we
think you may find interesting. In these cases, you
will be offered an opportunity to limit access to your
information. In case we do not receive any response
from you to limit the access of your information, it
shall be deemed that you consent to such distribution
of your information as mentioned above.
If you register with one of TCS's business units on-line,
they may use this information to provide you with custom
information about TCS's offering in support of your
business needs. A technology called cookies may be used
to provide you with tailored information. A cookie is
a tiny element of data that a web site can send to your
browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive
so we can recognize you when you return. You may set
your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie.
Registering with any TCS business unit online signifies
your unconditional consent to receive such cookies.
At times we conduct on-line surveys to better understand
the needs and profile of our visitors. When we conduct
a survey, we will try (but are not obligated) to let
you know how we will use the information at the time
we collect information from you on the Internet.
You recognize and understand that there is no compulsion
on you to provide us with your personal information
and any and all personal information provided by you
to us is with your full consent, own volition and desire
to provide such personal information. You also understand
that we are under no obligation to verify the source
from which the personal information about you is provided
to us, and they are deemed to be provided by you, unless
you demonstrate to us within a period of fifteen days
from the date of providing of such information to us,
to our satisfaction, that the information was provided
to us without your free consent.
TCS's Web site may contain links to other sites such
as TCS partners and affiliates. While we try to link
only to sites that share our high standards and respect
for privacy, we are not responsible for the content
or the privacy practices employed by other sites.
