                            through their websites, it MUST incorporate a prominently displayed Privacy
                            Statement clearly stating the purpose for which information is being collected,
                            whether the information shall be disclosed to anyone for any purpose and to
                            whom.


                     3.4.3  Further, the privacy statement should also clarify whether any cookies shall be
                            transferred onto the visitor’s system during the process and what shall be the
                            purpose of the same.


                     3.4.4  Whenever a Department’s website allows e-commerce and collects high risk
                            personal information from its visitors such as credit card or bank details, it
                            should be done through sufficiently secure means to avoid any inconvenience.
                            SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and Digital Certificates are some of the instruments
                            which could be used to achieve this.

                     reference purpose and Departments are requested to customise them to the requirements
