Will We Disclose the Information We Collect to Third Parties?
We may at our discretion choose to sell, trade or licence your personal information to trustworthy third parties. You may instruct us not to do by sending an e-mail message to indialist@discovery.com. In addition, Discoverychannel.co.in may provide aggregate statistics about customers, traffic patterns and other site information to third parties, but these statistics will not include any information that could personally identify you.

How Do We Protect Your Information?
When you review your information, we offer the use of a secure server. The secure server software encrypts the information that you input before it is transmitted to us. In addition, we have security procedures covering the storage and disclosure of your information in order to prevent unauthorised access to comply with the Data Protection Act of 1998. This means that sometimes we may ask for proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.
