Welcome to Seyal Veerar. The Seyal Veerar mobile application (App) is a social network for the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam - DMK (Party) cadres. We understand that visitors may have questions about how this application collects and uses information. Seyal Veerar is committed to safeguarding the privacy of our users’ information. This Privacy Policy explains our privacy practices, including the information we collect from you when you use our mobile application and how we and our affiliated committees may use that information; our rights to share and disclose such information to third parties; how you can review and modify information that you provide to us; and your preferences regarding our use and disclosure of such information.
By using the App, you agree that your use is governed by this Privacy Policy. From time to time, we may update this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to periodically check this Privacy Policy for updates. Your continued use of the App affirms your agreement to any changes we make to this Privacy Policy.
A. Registration Information. In order to access and use
certain features, content or functions of the App (e.g., comments,
communication/networking features, promotions, etc.), you may be asked to
provide certain information, including your name, username, password,
e-mail, date of birth, gender, address, and other descriptive information.
B. Payment. We do not collect or process any payment
via the APP or related software platform.
C. Information You Choose to Provide to Us. We collect any
information you provide to us on or through the App or in any other way.
For example, we collect any information you provide when you update your
user account and profile (“User Account”); participate in contests,
surveys, and other promotions; and sign up to receive newsletters and
other communications.
In addition, the App may include features that rely on the use of
information stored on, or made available through, your mobile Device. As a
general note, you may choose not to provide certain information, but you
may not be able to access certain content or take advantage of certain
features of the App.
D. User Submissions. You may have the ability to
use the App to communicate with other users of the App and post comments
to or otherwise interact with certain aspects of the App that are
available to the public and/or other users. We may collect any information
you submit, post, or provide in the course of such activities, and reserve
the right to store any information about the people you contact via the
App.
Any information, communications, or material of any type or nature that
you submit to our App (including, but not limited to any of our pages
contained on a social media platform or website such as Facebook or
Twitter) by sharing, email, posting, messaging, uploading, downloading, or
otherwise (collectively, a “Submission”), is done at your own risk and
without any expectation of privacy. We cannot control the actions of other
users of any social media platform or App or website and we are therefore
not responsible for any content or Submissions contained on such sites and
platforms. By visiting any of our pages or websites contained on a social
media platform or website, you are representing and warranting to us that
you have reviewed the applicable privacy policy and terms of use of that
platform or website and that you will abide by all such provisions
contained therein.
Additionally, in the event that we offer a message board or any other
interactive or social-type feature directly by us, please be aware that
these areas may allow you to publicly post, and share with other users,
certain messages, content, or other information (e.g., stories, pictures,
videos etc.). Although we may take certain precautions to protect those
who use these areas of one of our App, we encourage you to be wary of
giving out any personal information in such public forums. The information
you post can be collected and used by people you do not know. We cannot
guarantee the privacy and safety of these areas and are therefore not
responsible for any information you choose to post. Your use of these
features is fully at your own risk.
E. Usage Data and Technical Information. The App include
features that automatically collect certain information, which may include
the unique Device identifier assigned to your Device, Third Party Platform
anonymous identifiers, and other information regarding your use of the App
to, among other things, assist us in authenticating your usage and/or
Device, keeping track of your preferences, creating a more tailored user
experience, and better serving your particular interests and needs. The
App and/or third parties may use "data" (which are small data files
containing information about you that is stored on your hard drive),
"embedded scripts," "pixel tags," and other similar tracking technologies
(collectively, "Tracking Technologies") to collect information
automatically as you interact with the Services. Such information may
include "clickstream" data, the domain name of the service providing you
with Internet access, your Device type and attributes, Internet protocol
(IP) address, network connection type (e.g., WiFi, 3G, LTE), browser type
and version, operating system and platform, the average time spent on the
Services, pages viewed, content searched for, access times and other
relevant statistics, and your interactions with playlists, audiovisual
content, other users of the Services, advertising, and products and
services which are offered, linked to or made available on or through the
Services. Such information may be collected by us and/or our third-party
service providers and partners. Certain Tracking Technologies enable us to
customize your experience on the Services and provide tailored
recommendations, promotions, advertisements and other content relating to
your specific interests. Other Tracking Technologies are used to make
login to the Services easier (such as by remembering your user ID) and
allow us to collect non-specific location information.
A. Except as prohibited by the terms and conditions of any applicable Third Party Platform (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and subject to Section 4, we may use information we collect for, among other things, the following purposes:
You may be able to adjust certain privacy, permission and User Account settings by responding to request alerts or notifications that may be presented to you on your Device prior to or following the collection of the relevant information or by navigating to the settings, account or privacy section (as the case may be) of your Device or the applicable Third Party Platform and limiting certain Service functionality. Please be aware that if you limit the collection of certain information, you may not be able to use all of the features and functionality of the App.
At times, you may be presented with the option of whether to subscribe to
receive, or be automatically entered to receive, certain marketing and
promotional communications, including by text message, from us and/or
Party or Party’s affiliated committees that we think will be of interest
to you. Recipients of such communications can unsubscribe by either
following the specific instructions included in such communications or you
may “opt-out” of receiving marketing and promotional e-mails from us at
any time by or by sending an email to us at dmkseyalveerar@gmail.com
detailing your privacy request. Any privacy requests can be emailed to
dmkseyalveerar@gmail.com. Please note that “opt-out” and “unsubscribe”
requests may not take effect immediately and may take a reasonable amount
of time to receive, process, and apply, during which time your information
shall remain subject to the prior privacy settings. Additionally, you
should be aware that any information provided to third parties prior to
your election to opt-out or unsubscribe cannot be retrieved or rescinded
by us unless required by applicable law, and you cannot retroactively
opt-out or unsubscribe with respect to such third parties.
Please note that in order to keep you informed about the operation of our
App and related services, we may always send you emails and announcements
that are needed for the proper functioning and administration of our App,
including for the purposes described in Section 3 above, in connection
with your use of App. We may also have features that allow you to submit
information, questions or feedback to us. In those instances, we may
retain your emails and other information you submit to us for our internal
purposes, and to help us to serve you better.
You may also change certain privacy preferences (e.g., choose to cease receiving certain communications or ask us not to share your personal information with a particular third party) by sending an email to us at dmkseyalveerar@gmail.com detailing your privacy request. If you ask us to stop using your personal information, we will honor that request, provided that we may retain a record of such information as necessary to comply with applicable law and we may continue to use your contact information to contact you about your App-related transactions and to respond to your requests, as well as your IP address to determine the country in which you are accessing the App. Other privacy preferences (e.g., deactivating your User Account, etc.) may be made by modifying your User Account settings on the App, your Device and/or the applicable Third Party Platform. You always have the right to access, review and correct the personal information you have provided and generally you may review, update or delete certain information collected by the App at any time by accessing your User Account as described herein or by contacting us as described in Section 14.

We may provide and disclose your information to affiliates, operators, service providers, and other third parties for the purpose of providing, offering, supporting, administering and maintaining the App, and providing the full range of content, activities, services, features, and functions offered on or in connection with the App.
There may be instances when Party may access or disclose information without providing you a choice in the following circumstances: (i) to protect or defend the legal rights or property of Party, our affiliated committees or their employees, agents and contractors (including enforcement of our agreements), (ii) to protect the safety and security of our App and users, (iii) protect against fraud or for risk management purposes, (iv) if we believe your actions violate this Privacy Policy or Terms of Service, or (v) to comply with law or legal process.
We do not knowingly contact or collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without appropriate parental notice and consent, and our App are not intended to solicit information of any kind from children under the age of 13. If we are informed that we have unintentionally received personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information. If you want to notify us of our possible receipt of information by children under the age of 13, please contact us at dmkseyalveerar@gmail.com.
While no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure from intrusion, we maintain reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information. However, it is possible that third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications despite our efforts to prevent this, and we therefore make no guarantees regarding the security of user information.
The App may be linked to, rely on, and/or be integrated with websites, applications, interfaces, services, and/or platforms operated by third party companies, including service providers and Third Party Platforms. Party is not responsible for the privacy practices of any websites, applications, interfaces, services, and platforms operated by such third parties that are linked to, rely on, and/or are integrated with the App. Once you leave this App via such a link, access a third party application, interface, service, or platform, including Third Party Platforms and websites operated by service providers, you should check the applicable privacy policy of such third party to determine, among other things, how they will handle any personally identifiable or other information that they may collect from you.
From time to time, we may modify this Privacy Policy to reflect industry initiatives, third party requirements or changes in the law, technology, our information collection and use practices, or the features and functionality of the App, and such modifications shall be effective upon posting. When we change this Privacy Policy in a material way, a notice will be posted on our website along with the updated Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the App after we post a revised Privacy Policy (and, where appropriate, notify you of this change) signifies your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. It is therefore important that you review this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure you are updated as to any changes. We may also seek your affirmative consent to the terms of the updated Privacy Policy. For example, we may ask for your consent before implementing new uses of the personal information that we have already collected from you, if such new use was not addressed by the privacy policy under which such information was collected.
It is your responsibility to give us current, complete, truthful, and accurate information, and to keep such information up to date. We cannot and will not be responsible for any problems or liability that may arise if you do not give us accurate, truthful, or complete information, or you fail to update such information. We will reject and delete any entry that we believe in good faith to be false, fraudulent, or inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

If you visit, access, interact with, and/or otherwise use the App from a location outside India, please be advised that any information you provide in connection with any such activity may be processed in and/or transferred to India and/or other territories and locations, where privacy protections may not be as comprehensive as those in the territory or location where you interact with or otherwise use the App. By using the App, you affirmatively consent to the transfer, use, disclosure, provision, and other administration of your information as described herein.
