Security
Group Publishing India uses commercially reasonable physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to help protect against the loss, misuse, and unauthorized alteration or destruction of any content or information you may have provided at our sites.

When you shop online at www.grouppublishing.in we use SSL (secure socket layers) to encrypt all information that you share with us, including your credit card number. Only www.grouppublishing.in has the key needed to decode your information. You can tell if the page you are on is using SSL technology by looking at the lower left-hand corner of your browser window. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock, SSL is engaged and your information is secure. You also can look at the URL line of your browser. When accessing a secure page, the characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https." When you send us e-mail over the Internet, the transmission is not protected from interception.

Once we receive your transmission of information, Group Publishing India uses commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the systems where your information is stored by, for example, storing information on our secure servers. In addition, only select employees are authorized to access your information and to maintain the database that stores your information.

Please note that we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to Group Publishing India or that we store at Group Publishing India.
