Third Party Privacy Policies
Personal data will only be disclosed by Vandana Publications in the ways specified in this privacy statement. Vandana Publications may occasionally be forced to provide personal information in response to valid requests from governmental authorities, such as when necessary to protect the country’s security or to comply with legal obligations. Unless we have your consent or are compelled by law to do so in order to comply with a legal process, Vandana Publications does not sell, rent, or otherwise make your personal information available to third parties.

You will be alerted via email if Vandana Publications is taking part in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or some of its assets.
