Please note that we along with many other software providers use cookies. Cookies are identifiers that we locate on your computer or on the device that you use to access our services.

We collect information while you are registering on our website. Further we receive information while you are using our services.
We use the information that you give us to improve the services that we provide, provide services that are specific to your requirements, customize future services for you, upgrade our software and target advertisements. We use information about the devices that you use and the locations from which you access the internet to target services and advertisements suitable for such devices and locations.
We also use the information to make our services more secure, deny access to spammers and improve the security and privacy of our systems.
CITLoB shares information that it collects with third party service providers with whom it works, its own affiliates and subsidiaries and advertisers. We also use the information that we have to target our advertisements and promotional mails.
Please note that in case CITLoB transfers the whole or a part of its business the information available to CITLoB shall also be transferred with such business.
Without prejudice to the generality of the above, CITLoB shall not make public that portion of the information which has been received by it under conditions of confidentiality or under conditions where confidentiality can be reasonably expected.
CITLoB will take all reasonable steps, consistent with industry practice to ensure the security and confidentiality of information that it has.
CITLoB does not sell information per se as a business practice.
You will be entitled at any time to review the information that CITLoB has collected about you and your request for deleting full or part of information will be reasonably considered once you give reasons for requiring such deletion to asst.secretary@citlob.in.
CITLoB photographs its events, including Samvād, and may publish these photographs on this website (for example in the Samvād 2026 photo gallery) and on CITLoB's social media, to record the event and share it with the people who took part.
To help attendees find the photographs they appear in, the Samvād 2026 gallery has a "Find yourself" feature. To build it, the faces in the event photographs were grouped automatically with face-recognition software run on CITLoB's own computer. The website shows only a thumbnail of each grouped face and the list of photographs in which that face appears. It carries no names, it does not publish or store the face data used for the grouping, and it cannot be used to search with a new photograph. The face data is kept only on CITLoB's own computer, to maintain this feature. Automatic grouping can make mistakes.
If you would like a photograph of you taken down, would like to be left out of "Find yourself", or have found a photograph grouped under the wrong face, write to asst.secretary@citlob.in with a link to the photograph or the person number shown on the page, and we will act on it as soon as reasonably possible.
