Our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use

We value the trust you place in us and we are committed to safeguarding your privacy. Aftab.com (the “Site”) is operated by Parry Aftab (“we” or “us”) and is designed to be a resource for potential and active clients to learn more about Parry Aftab’s services and become informed. The site does not provide legal guidance and no information on the site should be relied on as legal advice.

​

This Privacy Policy is designed to inform you about the information we collect and use and your options with regard to that collection and use at the Site. By use of this Site, communications to or with us or use of any of our services, you are agreeing to these terms. If you do not agree with any of these terms or our Terms of Use, please exit our site and do not submit information to us in any way.

​

What Information Do We Collect About Our Users and How Do We Use It?

There are two ways we obtain information about you: 1. you voluntarily submit it to us, for example through a survey, by completing a form or by communicating with us and providing that information as part of the communication; or 2. we collect it from all our site users electronically to track how the site is used, where our users come from and their preferences.

We may collect and store information you voluntarily provide to us in inquiries, reporting forms and customer service communications with us. You may submit information to us offline, as well. All of this information is governed by this Privacy Policy, unless it is indicated otherwise at the time the information is collected or submitted. 

​

This information is not shared with third parties (except those working with us to maintain or operate the Site, provide certain customer services, maintain or improve our site integrity and security, maintain the users’, public’s or Site’s safety, address risks or comply with applicable law, as more fully described below.) 

​

Information Provided to Us By Third Parties: We may acquire (but will not share) demographic information from third-parties online or offline to better direct services and offers to you or may acquire referral e-mail and other contact information from you or others recommending our site or other services. We will use that contact information only to forward an invitation or provide the information for which the referral was made.

​

In addition to information you voluntarily provide to us through forms, communications and interactions with our staff, we collect certain data automatically when you access the Site. We collect this using cookies and other similar web-tracking technologies and use this to learn about how our Site is used and how to improve the user experience.

We may also collect information about our users for each Site interaction and visit, including your IP address, your browser and available software and hardware information, whether you were referred to our Site by a search engine (including the search terms used to find us) or link from another Site or offline resource (such as a DVD or CD). This is used to improve our Site and messaging efficiency, learn more about where our users come from and understand how our users use and ways to improve our Site.

​

We link to outside websites and services, from time to time. While we try to select appropriate sites, note that we are not responsible for the practices, content or the privacy policies employed by third party sites. Please review those before interacting with those sites.

​

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, share or license your personally identifiable customer information to third parties without your consent, except as disclosed herein.

​

We may use third party vendors to provide certain services or functions necessary to operate our Site and offer and deliver products and services to you. We share personally identifiable information about our users (to the extent we have such information) only with those involved in providing services, functions or professional advice to us or as outlined below. We share information with those third-parties and vendors to the extent necessary for them to perform their function on our behalf. All of these third-parties must agree to protect the privacy and security of our users and not to use information they receive during the course of their duties for any purpose other than for which it was provided.

We may also disclose your personally identifiable information as required or permitted by law, or as we believe may be necessary (as determined in our sole and absolute discretion) to protect the integrity of our Site, ourselves, our principals or our affiliates, or the safety, privacy and well-being of our users, ourselves and third-party providers or members of the public including the use of and providing information to third-parties:

​

• To comply with valid legal process including subpoenas, court orders or search warrants.

• To respond to official inquiries of governmental authorities.

• In cases involving risks to any person or other emergencies, Terms of Service violations, and to evaluate and defend against legal claims in any forum.

• To outside auditors, legal professionals, security consultants and regulators.

• To prevent or manage what we, in our sole and absolute discretion, believe to be the unlawful or abusive use of our services or the Site or anticipated harm to our users, the public, the Site or ourselves.
   

Transfer of Information:

We reserve the right to transfer your personal information in the event of a transfer of ownership of Aftab.com or the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Parry Aftab related to the business which collected such information, such as acquisition by or merger with another company.
 

International Transfer of User Information

Parry Aftab operates globally so it is necessary to transfer your information internationally. In particular, your information will likely be transferred to and processed in the United States where many of our central databases operate. The data protection and other laws of other countries, such as the United States, may not be as comprehensive as those in your country. Please be assured that we take reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy is protected. By using this site you consent to your information being collected and used as set forth in this privacy statement.
 

The Security of Your Information

We have systems in place to enforce the terms of this Privacy Policy and secure your data. But, no matter how careful we are, no system is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee that there will be no unauthorized use or access of your personal information. If we become aware of any information breach that may affect you, we will notify you promptly following our discovery thereof. Should you suspect that there is a security breach or someone is attempting to circumvent our security system, please notify webmaster@aftab.com.
 

We also work closely with WiredSafety.org, the world’s largest and oldest cybersafety organization. WiredSafety provides cybersafety content to us and we recommend that if you have questions or need help with cybersafety issues, you visit and support their site.

Before using this Site, recheck this page and review the “effective date” posted on the top of the Privacy Policy in effect at that time. If it has recently changed, make sure you review it and still agree with its terms. It will apply to any interactions you have at the Site and information you provide to us or at this Site.
