We understand that providing personally identifiable information online involves a great deal of trust on your part. We respect your trust and are committed to ensuring the security and confidentiality of the personal data you provide to us. We request all our users to review our 'privacy note' to understand how we handle information regarding you. These privacy practices are applicable to all site visitors and clients of Epitome IAS.
02. Our Commitment to Security
Protecting the privacy and security of the information you provide to us is a top priority. Every piece of information we gather from you is kept confidential, and we do not share, sell, disclose, rent, or license any personally identifiable information to a third party unless required by the law of the land. We maintain 100% transparency in the usage of data collected through visitors' activities on our website.

03. How We Collect and Use Your Information
Epitome IAS receives and stores information from its users when they register on our website or app to gain access to our services or provide information in any other way. During registration, we collect details such as your name, postal address, and email. We may also request business-related information. A registered member is no longer anonymous to Epitome IAS, and it is deemed that the user has agreed to allow Epitome IAS to use this data for sending catalogs, periodicals, newsletters, and other promotional materials.
We use the information you provide to facilitate the registration process, manage your account, and process orders. Additionally, we may notify you about special offers, facilitate access to our site, and provide service updates unless stated otherwise. You will be informed prior to data collection or transfer if your data is to be shared with a third party, allowing you to decide whether to participate in such promotions.
