Do Not Track
Currently, various browsers — including
Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari — offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option
that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to Web
sites visited by the user about the user's browser DNT preference setting. Sivani
Academy does not currently commit to responding to browsers' DNT signals with
respect to the Company's Web sites, in part, because no common industry
standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies, or
regulators, including no consistent standard of interpreting user intent. Sivani
Academy takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to
continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the
implementation of a standard.
