1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

NetApp is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains data collection and use practices of the http://www.campus-connect.com/netapptexhibit  site hosted for NetApp by CareerNet Consulting; it does not apply to other online or offline NetApp websites, products or services. By accessing this website, you are consenting to the information collection and use practices described in this Privacy Policy.

We categorize your information (collectively referred to as "Personal Information") as follows:

• Profiling Information: Information which you provide when you register for NetApp TeXhibit
• Information about your individual identity such as name, e-mail address, contact numbers, postal address, etc.
• Your educational details such as your college/ institute, degree/ branch specialization, and other security-related information used by you in relation to our contest.
• Service Usage: Information about your navigation using our website, for example the URLs of other websites mentioned on our site, which you visit and from which you request downloads.
• Log information: Information such as your web request, IP address, browser type, browser language, date and time of request.
• Stored Information: Data either created by you or by a third party and which you wish to store on our servers such as image files, documents etc.

We maintain this in encrypted form on secure servers.

We only collect your Personal Information to conduct our contest and to enable us to deliver TeXhibit and improve our Services.
We will only disclose your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If we want to use it for any other purpose, we will obtain your prior written consent.

If you decline to submit personal information to us, then we will unfortunately not be in a position to provide the further Services to you.

Any of your information which you provide when you use our Services through our TeXhibit website in an unencrypted manner and/or to an open, public environment or forum including (without limitation) any blogs, chat rooms, albums, communities, classifieds or discussion boards, is not confidential, does not constitute Personal Information, and is not subject to protection under this Privacy Policy.

Since such public environments are accessible by third parties, it is possible that third parties may collect and collate and use such information for their own purposes. You should accordingly be careful when deciding to share any of your Personal Information in such public environments.

Information, which is disclosed publicly, is also shared with our affiliates, third party service providers, sponsors of the competition, etc. unless expressly stated otherwise.

We are not liable to you or any third party for any damages (as defined in Terms & Conditions) that you or any third party may suffer howsoever arising from your disclosure of Personal Information in any public environment. You accordingly disclose information in a public environment at your own risk.

2. RIGHT TO COLLECT

By accepting the Terms & Conditions, you agree that we may collect and store your Personal Information as long as you use our services, subject to the limitations set out in this Privacy Policy.

Use of your personal information:

• We need your identity details, contact details and educational history to manage our relationship with you and provide services to you.
• We use certain specific information about you in an aggregated form to compile statistical and demographical profiles for our business and marketing activities. We may disclose such information about you, provided that the information is in an aggregated form that is not capable of being used or interpreted in such a manner as to identify you.
• Comply with any statutory or regulatory requirement.
• Compile statistical and demographical profiles about you for our business and marketing activities and to customize our services to you. While we are entitled to use such information about you for our own internal business purposes without limitation, we will only disclose it in a non-aggregated form which is not capable of being used or interpreted in such a manner as to identify you.
• Monitor your use of our services for the purposes of ensuring compliance with our User Rules.

We may scan your Stored Information to ensure that you comply with Clause 3 below.
Any Personal Information which we collect and which we may use in an aggregated format is our property. We may use it, in our sole discretion and without any compensation to you, for any legitimate purpose including (without limitation) the commercial sale thereof to third parties.

Sometimes our website uses "cookies" so that we can provide you with more customized information when you return to our website. "Cookies" are used to store user preferences and to track user trends, so as to enhance your interactive experience and generally improve our services to you. You can set your browser to notify you when you are sent a "cookie", giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. If you do accept a "cookie", you thereby agree to our use of any Personal Information collected by us using that Cookie.

You may update your Profiling Information at any time by using the personalize function.

You acknowledge and agree that in the interest of improving personalization and service efficiency, we may, under controlled and secure circumstances, share your Personal Information with our affiliates (an entity which is our subsidiary or holding company or a subsidiary of our holding company or an entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with us).

3. GENERAL EXCEPTIONS

If we are required to intercept, disclose, monitor and/or store your Personal Information:

• by law
• to conduct our business
• to secure our systems, or
• To enforce our own rights, we will do so in the manner as prescribed by legislation.

Such interception, disclosure, monitoring and storage may take place without your knowledge. In that case, we will not be liable to you or any third party for any damages howsoever arising from such interception, disclosure, monitoring and storage.

In order to ensure that all our Users comply with the User Rules, we may monitor your Personal Information to the extent that this may be required to determine compliance and/or to identify instances of non-compliance.

To ensure that the security and integrity of our services are safeguarded, we may monitor your Personal Information. This monitoring may include (without limitation) the filtering of incoming and outgoing electronic data messages to identify, limit and/or prevent the transmission of spam, viruses and/or unlawful, defamatory, obscene or otherwise undesirable material or content.

In addition to the general limitation in the Terms & Conditions, we will not be liable to you or any other third party for any damages suffered by you or any other third party howsoever arising from the disclosure of your Personal Information. Your only remedy under such circumstances will be to end this agreement.

4. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
