Privacy Policy
The Happy Zone (“The Happy Zone” or “THZ”) believes strongly in protecting the personal information you share with us. We believe it is important to let you know how we use your personal information, [and to provide choices as to how your information will be used]. We therefore encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully.
This Privacy Policy sets out the policies and practices of The Happy Zone with respect to our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time by The Happy Zone. We will give reasonable notice of the revised terms (by e-mail or notice on our Site(s)).
In this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (Individual).
The Happy Zone operates a network of services and events in Bangalore, where each The Happy Zone unit is independently owned and operated. This policy describes how The Happy Zone operators use personal information. A The Happy Zone unit is responsible for that unit’s use of personal information. This Privacy Policy makes a distinction between personal information used by The Happy Zone and personal information used by a The Happy Zone unit. However, if you have any questions on use of your personal information, whether in relation to The Happy Zone or a The Happy Zone unit, please contact The Happy Zone using the details in the “Contact” section below.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
The Happy Zone collects and uses personal information from Individuals in order to provide our services to individuals under agreements with them (or in order to enter customer agreements), or to support our business interest in providing services to our customers, their guests, and to administer, market and develop our services.
The personal information we collect, and the reasons for its collection, are:
- The Happy Zone may collect and maintain personal information such as an Individual’s name, contact information, payment information and purchase history when an Individual subscribes for services or purchases products on our website or at an activity location.
- The Happy Zone may collect personal information from an Individual where the Individual submits an application for programs operated by The Happy Zone or for an employment opportunity (such as that contained in a resume, cover letter, or similar employment-related materials). We use submitted personal information as is reasonably required to assess the Individual’s eligibility in the Programs or to assess the Individual’s suitability for employment at The Happy Zone as well as to process the application and respond to the Individual.
- When participating in a contest or promotion, we may collect personal information, such as a contest winner’s name, city of residence, and prize winnings in order to award prizes and promote such contests. This information may be published in connection with contests only.
- We collect contact information of subscribers and enquirers through the Site and otherwise in order to provide periodic information and updates, announcements and promotions regarding The Happy Zone products and services. An Individual can notify us at any time that they do not want to receive such information and updates.
- In order to use certain features on the Site(s) (such as to make publicly available personal information about yourself and others, including without limitation, photos and videos), an Individual may be required to register and provide personal information such as name, email address, location (i.e. city, state, postal code), date of birth and a user name and password that the Individual chooses. We use this information to identify you, provide the requested feature and, with respect to date of birth, to verify that you meet the minimum age requirement. Your username, city and state will be published with your posting. By making publicly available his or her personal information on the Sites, the Individual consents to the publication of such personal information. By publishing personal information about another individual, the Individual represents that he or she has, where required by applicable privacy laws, obtained the consent of such individuals to publish such information.
- The “Send to a Friend”, “Share”, and other similar features on our Site(s) permit an Individual to send emails to others. This feature requires an Individual to submit his or her name and email address, as well as the name and email address of the recipient. We do not use the names or email addresses submitted in these circumstances for any other purpose without the consent of the Individual or the email recipient to do so.
When you contact us with a comment, question or complaint, you may be asked for information to confirm your identity along with additional information we need to help us promptly answer your question or respond to your comment or complaint (such as your name, address and a phone number). We may also retain this information to assist you in the future and to improve our customer service and product and service offerings.
Disclosure of Personal Information
The Happy Zone will not disclose, trade, rent, sell or otherwise transfer personal information for purposes other than as those set out herein, except with an Individual’s consent or as required or permitted by law.
- The Happy Zone may transfer your personal information to third-party service providers or agents who provide services to or on behalf of The Happy Zone, such as hosting, data management and storage services, market analyses, and retention services. Either The Happy Zone or such third-party service provider may use servers for such purposes located outside Bangalore. We only transfer personal information outside Bangalore in accordance with law, and the safeguards that the law requires in respect of such data transfers are provided.
- The Happy Zone, our affiliates and our Bangalore-based and other service providers may provide your personal information in response to a search warrant or other legally valid inquiry or order, or to an investigative body in the case of a breach of an agreement or contravention of law, or as otherwise required by applicable Bangalore or other law. We may also disclose personal information where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
- We may transfer any information we have about you as an asset in connection with a merger or sale (including transfers made as part of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings) involving all or part of The Happy Zone or as part of a corporate reorganization or stock sale or other change in corporate control.
[Where a The Happy Zone operator changes, personal information collected in relation to that The Happy Zone unit may be transferred to the new operator where required for the continuing operation of the unit.]
The Happy Zone!
