If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at nirvaan963@gmail.com.

[SM1]Nirvaan may retain or delete this basis whether they collect such information or not.

[SM2]This is fine. However the below given clause may be substituted for more coverage.

In certain circumstances, NIRVAAN may be required to disclose your PII in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security and law enforcement requirements. NIRVAAN may disclose your PII in response to subpoenas, court orders or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. NIRVAAN may also share such information if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Services or as otherwise required by law.

[SM3]Nirvaan can reconsider this clause and indicate only the name of the party, and a line stating that privacy policy can be accessed from website of such third party.

[SM4]Better way is to just state names and state that their privacy policies can be accessed on their website. Because its possible the link may change (not likely) but yet.

[FLA5]Omitted as its creating unnecessary burden on Company.
